The Waveform Display allows you to manipulate the song playback in a variety of ways using your mouse. The met hod of control
differs depending o n the control type you have selected for the Deck ( Vinyl/CDJ/Hybrid).
Vinyl Mode
With this mod e selected , using the mouse on the waveform will work in a simil ar fashion to using your hand on a
turntable.
1. Click and hold the mouse on the wavefor m. Playback will stop, as if you have place d your hand o n a record to
stop it.
2. Continue holding the mouse but ton, then drag the mouse left an d right. This will scrub, or “scratch,” the song.
3. Releasing the mouse butt on will cause the Deck to play the song back from the cur rent location.
Hybrid Mode

etc.) behave like Vinyl Mode.

mouse button.
