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). Cue/Mix knob: select what is heard on your headphones: cue = the deck(s) selected with Cue Select button. or a combination of both, by setting it between Cue and Mix. 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. 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. 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 4Mx pitch fader as in the software) prior to controlling the pitch.
