Faders (Sliders); Play/Pause, And Cue Buttons; Rewind And Fast Forward Buttons - Hercules MK4 Installation Manual

You can adjust their sensitivity using the control panel: you can either keep the default sensitivity,
or divide it by a factor of 2 or 4 to make them less sensitive. The jog wheels can also be disabled
via the control panel. Please see chapter 5.3.2. Main tab for more information.
You can use the Scratch button to change the function of the jog wheels (scratch mode is
enabled by default): press the button to switch to the seek function, allowing you to move
backward or forward within a track. Press the button again to return to the default scratch
function.
You can also use the jog wheels to browse through music lists. When browsing through a
directory containing lots of music files, simply turn the jog wheel while keeping the Up or Down
button on your console pressed down in order to move through the list more quickly.

8.2. Faders (sliders)

Cross fader
Your DJ Console Mk4 plays 1 stereo music track per deck (2 stereo music tracks simultaneously).
The cross fader moves between the left and right decks, allowing the DJ to adjust the mix
between the 2 tracks.
Setting the cross fader completely to the left means that the mix (the music the audience hears)
comes 100% from the left deck: the audience doesn't hear the music played on the right deck.
Setting the cross fader in the center means that the music comes 50% from the left deck and 50%
from the right, and so on.
2 Volume faders
The Deck A volume fader controls the volume of the music played on Deck A, while the Deck B
volume fader controls the volume of the music played on Deck B.
Changing the volume on Deck A or Deck B lets you adjust transitions between the 2 decks.
If the volume on one of the decks is not loud enough when the corresponding volume slider is set
to its maximum level, simply adjust the Gain knob for that deck in the VirtualDJ software to
increase the deck's maximum volume.

8.3. Play/Pause, and Cue buttons

These buttons are available for both decks on your DJ Console Mk4.
- Play/Pause: starts music playback, or pauses music playback at the current position in the
track.
- Cue: places a cue point (a marker where playback should start) at the current position in the
track.

8.4. Rewind and Fast forward buttons

These buttons, found just above the jog wheel on each deck, allow you to move quickly within
music tracks: press the corresponding button to rewind or fast forward within a track (this is an
easy way to quickly get to the exact point in a song that you're looking for).
