DJ Console 4-Mx in VDJ 7 LE

DJ Console 4-Mx has 8 main types of controls in VirtualDJ 7 LE 4-Mx:

 Browsing

 Effects, loops and sampler

 Playback controls: 2-deck and 4-deck

 Jog wheels

 Preview controls

 Mixer controls: 2-deck and 4-deck

 Speed controls

 4-deck controls

A. Browsing

DJ Console 4-Mx provides 5 controls to browse in VirtualDJ 7 LE 4-Mx:

1. Folder: move to the folder browser, or expand the folder.

2. Files: go to the file browser.

3. Up/down buttons: move up/down in the files or folder list.

4. Load on left/right deck: load the file on left/right controlled deck.

5. Press and hold up/down buttons while turning the jog wheel:

move at high speed through the active browser area (folder or files).

B. Effects / Loops / Sampler

Effects, loops and sampler are controlled by 8 controls per deck:

 6 transport buttons (1 to 6): activate or switch off the function.

 1 Shift transport button: convert these buttons into 7 to 12.

 1 knob modulates the last effect loaded.

Changing the deck changes the bank of effects (effects on deck A are

different from effects on deck C).

C. Playback controls

Once a track is loaded on a deck, you can use the playback controls:

 Play/Pause: starts/pauses playback of the track loaded on the deck.

 Cue: in pause mode, sets a Cue point (bookmark); during playback,

goes to the cue point and plays.

 Stop: stops playback and goes back to the first cue point (if any).

 Rewind/fast forward: moves back/forward in the track (while the

button remains pressed down).

4-deck controls

After changing the target deck (with Deck C/Deck D buttons), process

the same playback operations as in 2-deck mode.

D. Jog wheels

The jog wheels control up to 5 operations:

1. Browse within a track: if a track is loaded on a deck (but is not

playing), turning the jog wheel moves inside the track.

2. Scratch On/Off: when scratch mode is on, turning the jog wheel while

pressing it down slightly creates a scratch sound (like on a vinyl

turntable). Your fingertips feel the scratch, and a blue light on the jog

wheel shows the pushed-down status.

3. Play/Pause: when scratch mode is on, pressing the jog wheel down

slightly pauses playback. This mode lets you start/pause playback by

lifting up/pressing down your hand on the jog wheel.

4. Pitch Bend: when scratch mode is off (i.e. in playback mode), turning

the jog wheel speeds up/slows down the music: the jog wheel bends

the pitch.

5. Fast browsing through files or folders: press and hold the up or

down button, and turn the jog wheel to quickly move through the list of

files or folders.

You can change the jog wheels’ resolution in the DJ Console 4-Mx control

panel (the Advanced tab).

E. Preview controls

Previewing = listening to a different track on your headphones than what

the audience is hearing: the cross fader (controlling the music for the

audience) has no impact on the preview.

There are of 3 types of preview controls:

1. Cue Select (left or right deck) transport button: selects the deck you

preview on your headphones (e.g. in 2-deck mode, Cue Select Left

Deck = deck A; in 4-deck mode, = deck A or C).

2. Cue/Mix knob: select what is heard on your headphones:

 cue = the deck(s) selected with Cue Select button.

 mix = same music as the audience.

 or a combination of both, by setting it between Cue and Mix.

3. Headphone volume.

F. Mixer controls

2-deck mode

1. Gain knob: boosts/attenuates the track’s maximum output level.

2. Equalization (EQ) knobs (Treble/Medium/Bass): boosts/attenuates

the output level of the track per frequency range.

3. Kill buttons: mutes/restores the track’s output in the frequency range.

4. Volume fader: sets the track level (within the scale set via the Gain

knob).

5. Cross fader: mixes left and right deck tracks for the audience:

 full left = the audience hears only left deck(s).

 center = the audience hears 50% left deck, 50% right deck.

 full right = the audience hears only the right deck(s).

For different DJing styles, you can change the cross fader curve:

 either in the software (with pro DJ software; not VDJ 7 LE 4-Mx).

 or in the DJ Console 4-Mx control panel (the Advanced tab).

If you set a cross fader curve in other DJ software, keep the cross fader

curve set to Beatmix (default) in the Hercules control panel.

4-deck mode

After switching decks (via the Deck C/Deck D buttons), you can control

on the new virtual decks the same mix operations on the mixer controls,

but you must first take over the software positions of gradual controls

(gain/EQ/volume) on the deck: each gradual control must reach the same

position on the DJ Console 4-Mx hardware as shown in the software,

before you are able to control that setting.

The software takeover function provides you with gradual settings on

these controls after switching a deck:

- If there were no software takeover, after switching between 2 virtual

decks with different settings for gain/EQ/volume, the software would

jump to the new control position the second you move the gradual

control.

- Therefore, the software takeover is a process which lets you

smoothly reach the virtual setting prior to changing this setting.

G. Speed (BPM = Beats Per Minute) control

The playback speed has 6 controls per deck:

1. Pitch fader: the pitch fader changes the speed of the music: up =

slower, down = faster.

2. Pitch Scale -/+: these transport buttons change the scale of the pitch

fader: a lower scale gives a more precise speed variation / a higher

scale gives a larger variation of the speed.

3. Pitch reset: by simultaneously pressing the Pitch Scale - and +

buttons, you reset the pitch, so that the virtual pitch fader goes back to

the center position, whatever the hardware position of the pitch fader.

4. Pitch Bend -/+: the pitch bend transport buttons slow down/speed up

the speed temporarily, as long as you keep the button down.

5. Sync: changes the speed setting for the deck to the same BPM as on

the other deck controlled by DJ Console 4-Mx.

6. Jog wheel: while music is playing, if you are not in scratch mode (if the

Scratch button is off, or if your hand applies no pressure on the jog

wheel), turning the jog wheel speeds up/slows down the music, like the

Pitch Bend buttons.

4-deck mode

After switching decks (with Deck C/Deck D buttons), you must take over

the virtual position of the pitch fader with the hardware pitch fader on

the deck (i.e. you must reach the same position with the DJ Console 4-

Mx pitch fader as in the software) prior to controlling the pitch.

H. 4-deck controls

2 transport buttons control 4-deck mode:

 Deck C button converts deck A into deck C:

- when Deck C button is on, the console’s left deck controls virtual

deck C, and the viewer shows the letter C backlit in red.

- when Deck C button is off, the console’s left deck controls virtual

deck A, and the viewer shows the letter A backlit in blue.

 Deck D button converts deck B into deck D:

- when Deck D button is on, the console’s right deck controls virtual

deck D, and the viewer shows the letter D backlit in red.

- when Deck D button is off, the console’s right deck controls virtual

deck B, and the viewer shows the letter B backlit in blue.
