[. . . ] You can therefore use one of the DJ Control MP3 e2's Pitch knobs to modify the pitch of a track. VirtualDJ also offers a very useful function to automatically match the BPM of tracks that are playing and synchronize their beats for easy mixing: this function is called beat-matching. Press the Sync button on either deck to toggle beat-matching on and off for the deck in question. When the Sync button stays lit up in blue, beat-matching is enabled on that deck; when the LED is off, beat-matching is disabled on that deck. When a track is being played on a deck, the BPM is displayed just above the track's timeline, to the right (the percentage next to the BPM indicates how much faster (+x. x%) or slower (-x. x%) the current BPM is in relation to the track's normal BPM): - Press the Sync button on a deck to automatically match the BPM and synchronize the beat of the track on that deck with that of the track playing on the other deck. This track's BPM is automatically matched to that of the track being played on the other deck and their beats are synchronized. - Make a transition from one track to the other (please see section 5. 7. If you decide to switch off beat-matching on this deck, press the Sync button again. The Sync button goes dim, indicating that beat-matching is now switched off. 5. 5. Creating cue points Finished synchronizing the tempos of your tracks?Great ­ but depending on the tracks you are using, you may wish to start up playback at a specific point and not simply at the beginning. This is possible by inserting cue points into your tracks. A cue point allows you to locate the start of an interesting rhythmic section and launch playback of a track at that section. VirtualDJ allows you to set 1 cue point per track using your DJ Control MP3 e2 16/34­ User Manual To set a cue point: - When you get to the rhythmic section you are looking for, press Play/Pause. - Press CUE to set this position as cue point 1. A marker is inserted in the track's timeline. ENGLISH To go to a cue point when playing a track for the audience: 5. 6. Creating loops Using the same marker principle, you can also create loops, which are sections of a track repeated to infinity. - Make sure that the Shift button in your DJ Control MP3 e2's Loops/Fx section is not lit up (if it is lit up, press the Shift button to turn it off). - During playback of the track, when you get to a rhythmic section where you want to create a loop, press button 1, 2, 3 or 4 (depending on how long you want the loop to be). The rhythmic section is repeated to infinity. - Press button 1, 2, 3 or 4 again to resume normal playback of the track. 5. 7. Switching from one track to another The art of mixing consists of preparing the next track while a given track is being played. When the track being played reaches its end, the DJ switches from one track to the other progressively using the cross fader, which regulates the volume of the two decks.
