1. CROSSFADER. Blends audio between the left and right channels/decks.
2. VOLUME. Use these faders to adjust the Output Volume of each mixer channel.
3. PFL. Press these buttons to send this channel's pre-fader signal to the Cue Channel
for monitoring. When engaged, the button will be lit. By pressing one PFL button at a
time, you will cue that channel alone (and deactivate PFL monitoring for the other
channels). To cue to both channels simultaneously, press both PFL buttons at the
same time.
4. FILTER. Applies a High-Pass / Low-Pass Filter on the software decks.
If the Touch mode is enabled, the knob will apply a Loop Roll along with the Filter.
The size of the loop roll starts from 1/2 beat (center position) and ends to 1/16 beat
(left or right end position)
5. EQ_LOW. Adjusts the low (bass) frequencies of each mixer channel. When Touch
mode is activated and the knob is touched, it will mute the corresponding channel's
low frequencies (aka "EQ kill") *.
6. EQ_MID. Adjusts the middle (mid) frequencies of each mixer channel. When Touch
mode is activated and the knob is touched, it will mute the corresponding channel's
mid frequencies (aka "EQ kill") *.
7. EQ_LOW. Adjusts the low (bass) frequencies of each mixer channel. When Touch
mode is activated and the knob is touched, it will mute the corresponding channel's
low frequencies (aka "EQ kill") *.
*Note.
By default the EQ of VirtualDJ 8 is not set to Full Kill Mode. You may change that from
the Options tab of Settings
8. GAIN. Adjusts the audio level (gain) of the left and right mixer channel.
Hold SHIFT down and then use these encoders to adjust the tempo (pitch) of each
deck.
9. LINE/PHONO. Flip this switch to the appropriate position, depending on the
connected device to the Line/Phono Inputs (27). If you are using phono-level
turntables, set this switch to Phono to provide the additional amplification needed for
phono-level signals. If using a line-level device, such as a CD player or sampler, set
this switch to Line
