4.7 Using the Keyboard
If your DJ controller is not currently available or if you are preparing tracks or
playlists you can use your keyboard to access many of the croSS DJ features.
croSS DJ includes a keyboard mapping that is automatically activated when you
launch the software. please have a look at the tables on page 104 and onwards for
a complete overview of the integrated shortcuts.
Player related shortcuts
many of the keyboard shortcuts control the features the two players but only one
keyboard shortcut has been assigned. In these cases the mapped command is sent
to the currently active player. please have a look at the yellow and red bar respec-
tively, that is visible above the track title if that player is active.
you can toggle the active status of the player by pressing the (ÿ) key.
Defining your own Shortcuts
If you wish to access a croSS DJ feature for which a shortcut is not included in the
default mapping, you can define the shortcut yourself. This example shows how to
define a shortcut for the Kill Bass feature in the mixer.
1 open the File menu and click on Preferences. click the Keyboard
tab.
the Controller list shows all keyboard mappings that are avail-
able. please note the lock icon, it indicates that the mapping is
embedded and cannot be changed. the Mappings list shows the different
command categories that can be assigned.
