Numark Industries DJ Equipment guide

Relative – In this mode, the software will track the relative movement of the record (forward, backward) but will not track the position of the within the control timecode. So, for example, you will not be able to seek to another location of the song by picking up the needle and dropping it on another part of the record. This mode is perfect for scratch DJs since it allows you to scratch without worrying about the needle skipping around on the record – the software will compensate for any skip that might occur. In this mode, you are also allowed to use some additional software features, such as looping and cue points.

Smart (default) – This is the default timecode tracking mode and is the mode that we recommend most users use. In Smart mode, you have the ability to do needle drops but can also use the additional features of the software, such as pitch, loops and cue points.

4.Lead Time – Specifies when the time-code signal begins playing the song, by moving the point at which the track begins to a position further into the vinyl. For example, this is useful if your records have cue burn in the beginning. Simply set the lead time to another bumber.

5.Pitch Sensitivity – This is the time that it takes the waveform on the silkscreen to become adjusted after you alter the pitch of the timecode signal. Too small of a value will attempt to redraw the waveform when you scratch the timecode, which is not recommended. Setting too high of a value will take longer to redraw the waveform, which may be visually confusing. Please experiment with a few different values to find the one best suited for your style.

6.Anti Skip – If enabled, anti skip will prevent playback from skipping if the needle happens to jump to another groove. Please note that anti-skip is only available under Smart or Relative modes.

7.Smart Cue – If enabled, moving the needle far to a different location on the timecode record (over more than one groove segment away) will cause the software to automatically jump to the next set cue point (forward or backward), instead of jumping to the absolute location where you drop the needle.

8.Master Tempo – If enabled, the software will time-stretch, instead of pitch shift, the music playing on the deck when you change the pitch of the timecode signal. In other words, the Master Tempo features as a Keylock, allowing you to change the tempo of the music without altering its pitch.

9.Browser Track – If enabled, Browser Track allows you to use the timecode signal to browse through your music in the software. With Browser Track feature enabled, the last three groove segments become dedicated to browsing, so when you drop the needle onto one of these segments, you can scroll through your music titles by moving the record forward and backward.

10.Arrows – Pressing one of the arrows will copy the timecode preferences from the selected deck to the other deck.

The following settings (11-17) will be set by the Auto-Config feature so you do not have to worry about understanding them. The software will automatically configure them for you:

11.Gain – The gain compensation for the timecode signal.

12.Silence – Compensates for background/ambient noise by lowering/raising the noise floor threshold.

13.Software RIAA Preamp – If enabled, allows you to plug a phono-level turntable directly into a line-level input on the VirtualVinyl box.

14.Invert Stereo – Virtually switches the left and right inputs and, in effect, reverses playback.

15.Invert Phase – Software adjustment if you have happened to wire your needle incorrectly.

16.TC Up – Level of “1” value in the binary signal of the timecode

17.TC Down – Level of “0” value in the binary signal of the timecode.
