BROWSE KNOB – Turn this knob to scroll through your music tracks in the software. Press this knob to enter
the song library.
2.
JOG WHEEL – Scratches, pitch bends or searches through the track on that deck, depending on the JOG
WHEELS' current mode (as set by the SCRATCH / SEARCH button).
a. Scratch Mode: When the SCRATCH LED is lit, move the JOG WHEEL to "scratch" when paused or
during playback on that deck – an effect similar to moving the platter on a turntable.
b.
Pitch Mode: When the SCRATCH LED is off, move the JOG WHEEL to temporarily adjust the pitch up
or down for the track on that deck during playback (but not when paused).
c.
Search Mode: Press and hold the SCRATCH/SEARCH button for 2 seconds when paused or during
playback and the Scratch LED will flash indicating you're in Search Mode. Move the JOG WHEEL to rapidly
scan forward or backward in a track. When paused, no audible scrubbing will be heard when searching
through a song.
3.
SCRATCH / SEARCH – Press this button to put the JOG WHEELS in Scratch Mode or Pitch Bend Mode, or
press and hold the button for 2 seconds to put the JOG WHEELS in Search Mode. When this LED is lit, the
JOG WHEELS are in Scratch Mode. When the LED is not lit, the JOG WHEELS are in Pitch Mode. When the
LED is flashing, the JOG WHEELS are in Search mode.
4.
PLAY / PAUSE – Starts or resumes playback if the deck is paused. Pauses playback if the deck is playing.

7.
SYNC – Press this button to automatically match the tempo and align the beats of the track on that deck with
the track on the opposite deck. Press while Sync is engaged to jump to the next beat in the song. Press and
hold while Sync is engaged to turn Sync off.
8.
LOAD – Press this button to load the selected track to that particular deck.
9.
PITCH -/+ – Press one of these buttons to bend the pitch of the track on that deck, slightly decreasing or
increasing its speed. Release the button for the track to return to its normal pitch. (This is an important feature
when manually aligning the beats of two tracks.)
10.
VOLUME – Adjusts the volume level of the music on that deck.
11.
TREBLE – Adjusts the high-end frequencies of the music on that deck. The Treble knob on DJ LIVE controls
both Treble and MID controls in VirtualDJ LE software.
12.
BASS – Adjusts the low-end frequencies of the music on that deck.
13.
MASTER VOLUME – Adjusts the volume of the entire mix (the music on both decks heard together). To adjust
the volumes of each deck separately, use the VOLUME knobs.
14.
CROSSFADER – Slide the CROSSFADER towards a deck to cause that deck's track to be heard in the mix.
This is an important DJ tool for blending the tracks together, moving from one track to the next, and creating a
good overall mix.
