Output modes for hardware mixer:

– Classic Club mode to use two iOS devices as two separate decks, connected to a hardware mixer. The two devices can sync the current BPM value wirelessly.
– Double Deck mode to use one device, connected to a hardware mixer. Headphone left is deck A, headphone right is deck B.

Output modes for the Split Cable Adapter (check djplayer.net to buy):

– Split Cable. Headphone left is master, headphone right is pre-listening.
– Auto Stereo. Same as before, but full stereo when PFL buttons are off.

Output modes with 2 independent stereo outputs:

– Home mode: headphone out is pre-listening, master output is transmitted to our MasterOut app over the network.
– Club Master mode: headphone out is master, pre-listening is transmitted to MasterOut. Our unique MasterOut audio transmission is a special design for ultra-low latency DJ monitoring.

Deck:

– 8 gapless cue/loop points (6 on iPhone and iPod touch), play like a sampler. Modify on-the-fly, while playback/loop goes.
– Frame precise or waveform positioning.
– Vinyl Vision or waveform display, touch on it to search (jump, beat and block aligned).
– Pitch control with four ranges (±4, ±8, ±16 and ±100%), fine adjust pitch step buttons with AutoStep, adjustable pitch bend strength.
– Reverse play (tap before or after the pitch fader head to change direction). Automatic slip mode for reverse lengths below 16 beats.
– BPM sync, automatic bpm and beatgrid detection.

Mixer:

– Crossfader with 3 curves and morph: attach additional low and highpass filters to each end of the crossfader.
– For each channel: fader with 2 curves (smooth, hard), gain, PFL switch, low/mid/high ±6 db adjust eq, low/mid/high mixing eq from -96 to 0 db, hidden cutoff switch below each mixing eq.
– Punch control for channel faders and cross (similar to in/out).
– Calibrated VU meter per channel and stereo VU meter for master (with peak hold off/fade/run), balance control.
– Pre-listening: master/PFL ratio, headphone volume. Split or stereo PFL (in Home or Club Master mode).
– EQ reset on track load (do nothing, or reset all bands, or reset mid/high and cut bass).
– Gain set on track load (do nothing, reset to 0 or auto set to loudness).

Effects:

– Gapless auto or bounce looping, from 128 beats to 1/256 beat (including triolic 3/4, 1/3 values on iPad).

– Temp pitch control, beat snap and reloop.
– BPM-based echo, reverb, lo-fi, flanger, highpass, lowpass, bandpass, notch and peak.

– Convenient track search with textual search/filter.
– Sort by playlist, artist, title, comment or BPM, section views by first letter or BPM range.
– Natural sort for playlists (tracks appear in “iTunes order”).
– Automatic marker shows if a track was played in the last 4 hours. Manual marker on/off for each track.
– Serato and Traktor metadata support (BPM and cue points/loops).
– The internal database keeps all bpm and cue points even if a track is removed from the device. (Standard SQLite, import/export.)
