djay2 for iPad/iPhone (Tutorial) This manual provides information about operations and settings you need for more advanced DJ play.

For information about basic operations when using TRACKFORMER with the djay2 for iPad/iPhone app, refer to the separate Users Guide - Basic Operation Reference", which comes with TRACKFORMER.

The djay2 for iPad/iPhone app comes with a number of functions pre-configured to allow you to enjoy using it immediately. You can also configure your own DJ operation settings for a setup that suits your particular performance style.

NOTE

You can use your iPad/iPhone to check whether TRACKFORMER is being recognized by your iPad/ iPhone. On your iPad/iPhone screen, select Settings and then select General. On the General screen, select About.

If XW-DJ1 is shown on the list that appears, it means that TRACKFORMER is being recognized correctly.

To perform scratch and mix operations using headphones connected to TRACKFORMER, configure settings so MASTER OUT audio is output to the headphones.

The djay2 for iPad/iPhone apps Auto Cut Scratching function makes it possible for just about anyone to perform scratching.

While holding down the [SHIFT] button, perform a JOG operation. This will automatically operate the CROSSFADER to sync the tempo of the opposite side track and perform scratching.

Use Automix when you want to produce a background mix of music at a party or other setting where you do not need a full DJ performance.

Touching the [AUTOMIX] button and then [Start Automix] starts auto playback of the songs in your iTunes play list.

You can also use the Automix List (Queue) to arrange the songs you want into an auto play list. To add a song to the Automix List (Queue), touch and hold the songs name on the djay library screen. On the menu that appears, select Add to Queue.

NOTE

When playback nears the end of a song, the TRACKFORMER [PLAY/ PAUSE] button of the track that corresponds to the song will start to flash. If Automix is enabled, playback will automatically advance to the next song. If Automix is disabled (OFF), use CROSSFADER to mix the next song.

Using Headphones for Scratch and Mix

Shifting the on-screen CUE/MIX Slider from CUE to MIX will cause the MASTER OUT audio to be output to the headphones.

djay2 for iPad/iPhone (Tutorial)

The CROSSFADER curve is selectable. When performing a scratch operation, a fast audio rise curve is needed at either CROSSFADER extreme. For a mix operation, a smoother mix curve is required.

You can use the Invert Crossfader setting to invert the orientation of the TRACKFORMER CROSSFADER operation and the on-screen CROSSFADER movement. Select a setting in accordance with the type of scratch operation you want to perform.

Track data can be displayed as a waveform, which enables a higher degree of DJ play precision. You can configure CUE point, LOOP, and other settings while checking them on the waveform for better accuracy.

To change to the waveform view, touch the on- screen Waveforms mark.

You can configure settings so a song first goes into a standby state after it is loaded.

Normally, the djay2 for iPad/iPhone app automatically adjusts the volume levels between two songs by pre-analyzing their volume levels. This helps to make smooth mixes easier.

You can also disable Auto Gain and have data initially played back at the volume level of the song that was loaded to the deck. After that, you can use the on- screen GAIN slider to adjust the volume level.

Use the recording function to record a DJ performance.

Recorded data can be played back as-is on the left or right deck, or it can be exported as a music file using iTunes.
