! If the buffer size is made large, dropouts in the audio data (interrup-
tions in the sound), etc., tend to occur less, but the time lag due to
the transmission delay (latency) of the audio data may increase.
PLATTER SPEED
The playing speed of the virtual deck can be set to 33 or 45 RPM.
 PLAYBACK
GENERAL
! Playback keys use shift
This disables operations using the computer keyboard when the
keyboard's [Shift] key is not pressed or when Caps Lock is off.
! Lock playing deck
This disables loading of new tracks on decks on which a track is
playing.
This disables operations of the
[NEEDLE SEARCH (ALPHABET SEARCH)] pad when a track is
playing.
! Hi-fi resampler
This reduces digital distortion generated when tracks are played
at low or high speed. When enabled, however, the load of the CPU
increases slightly.
! Use auto gain
This sets the volume (gain) for the tracks automatically when the
software creates the track overviews. The volume is set with respect
to the reference volume selected from the drop-down list on the right.
! Enable beat grid
This option turns on/ off Beatgrids.
ON SONG LOAD
! play from start
When a track is loaded, playback starts from the beginning of the
track. If there is a blank section at the beginning of the track, play-
back starts from the position at which the sound starts.
— When a track is loaded with this setting disabled, playback starts
from the position played last on the track that was playing the
previous time.
! instant doubles
The same track is played on both tracks (doubled).
— For example, when the track currently playing on deck (A) is
also loaded in deck (B), the playing position of the track on
deck (B) is automatically synchronized to deck (B) and playback
begins. At this time, the master tempo and loop settings are also
synchronized.
! play from first cue point
When a track is loaded, playback start position is set on the low-
numbered hot cue within set hot cues.
— If no hot cue has been set for the track, playback starts from the
beginning of the track.
! Those settings are prioritized in the following order.
[instant doubles], [play from first cue point], [play from start]

 DISPLAY
Maximum screen Updates
This slider allows you to lower ITCH's screen refresh rate and potentially
use less CPU. Users with slower computers or those running a recording
program at the same time might like to do this if they are having per-
formance issues. The default setting is 60 Hz, or refreshed 60 times per
second. This setting applies to the entire ITCH user interface; the virtual
decks, the waveforms, the library, and the setup screen.
Horizontal waveforms
The waveform display section is displayed horizontally at the bottom of
the screen.
Left vertical waveforms
The waveform display section is displayed vertically at the left of the
screen.
Right vertical waveforms
