Each deck features a precise Pitch control for those wishing

Each
deck has its own WaveDisplay which is effectively
a Visual Map of the Song, this enables you to see where
Beats or Breaks occur. This speeds up Cueing time drastically
when searching for the start of a Beat or a Breakdown in
a song. You can simply click anywhere in the WaveDisplay
to start play at that position. You can drag a Selection
within the WaveDisplay to Loop a section or Edit that
section in the WaveEditor.
The
WaveEditor allows you to define Audio Regions and to Zoom
into the Waveform of the song to view it in greater detail.
This enables you to Edit the Region Start and End positions
precisely so that your Loops are Beat Perfect. it also
enables you to Export any portion of the Waveform to
an MP3, WMA or WAV file so that you can Reload it as
a Sample into the VirtualDek 2.0 Sampler for use in a
Mix, or even create Ringtones from it for your Mobile
Phone !

VirtualDek
2.0 incorporates a Proffesional quality 5-Channel 32-Bit
Software Mixer that gives control over Channel Levels
and other various parameters such as Effects (FX) Levels
and Equalizer Controls.
The
five channels include Deck A, Deck B, Master Out, Aux
In, and Monitor. The effects onboard the mixer include
a 4-pole VCF filter with 3 modes of operation including
Low Pass, Band Pass and High Pass to allow you to add
your own touch to your performance, and also, a linear
Phaser which produces that same effect of running two
identical records at the same position. With these Effects
you can put some Punch into your Production that will
enable you to build upon your Reputation as a DJ.
The
effects do not end there and more effects are available
seperate to the Mixer console including, Timestretching
and our unique 'The Matrix Effect' ( Inspired from the
Movie 'The Matrix' )
The
Mixer includes a Monitor Channel so that you can use a
USB Headset to Monitor the Deck you want to Silently Cue.
There
are Mixer controls to Equalize the Master Out channel
including Bass, Mid and Treble controls.
The
Mixer accepts an Auxilliary input from your Windows Mixer,
so if you have a Microphone connected, you can talk over
your Mix and perform Voice Over. There is an Aux-In Enable
control so that you can quickly turn the Aux-In (or Microphone)
channel On or Off at the flick of a switch without adjusting Fader
levels.
One
Feature on the Mixer which adds that Proffessional Touch to
your Productions is the Voice-Over (VO) feature which
when Enabled, will Duck the Volume Level of the Music
whenever you speak into the Microphone. This effect used
to be done manually by lowering the level of the Deck
when you spoke into the Microphone and is now automated,
saving you time, energy and stress !
