VirtualDJ DJC Mk4
c) Pitch Bend buttons (“Pitch Bend –” and “Pitch
Bend +”)
The Pitch Bend –/+ buttons slow down/speed up playback of the music
track loaded on a deck. The difference between these functions and the
pitch faders is that the pitch bend action is temporary: when you release
the button, the music track’s playback gradually returns to its previous
speed. Pitch bend is therefore an “elastic setting”.
i) Using Pitch Bend
To beat match 2 music files, you generally:
- set both music files to the same BPM with the pitch fader, and
afterwards,
- align the beats of one track with the beats of the other track by
slowing it down / speeding it up with the pitch bend buttons.
ii) See the action of Pitch Bend in VirtualDJ
W
hen you press the pitch bend – or pitch bend + button:
- the BPM counter remains unchanged (displayed in VirtualDJ DJC
Mk4, to the right of the artist’s name),
- but the scrolling of the music track in the waveform window is slower
of faster.
The best way to note that the pitch bend function has changed the sound
is to hear the change in the music’s speed.
