Jan 08, 2014 The hardware controls are adapted to work with the djay 2 software, although you can’t do everything from the hardware by any means. There’s a bit of a learning curve in order to get used to what you can do from the hardware and what you need to use the screen for, but overall it’s pretty intuitive.

Welcome to DJ Player!

DJ Player is an exceptional full-stack DJ system. What does it mean? Every component is developed and maintained in house. No third-party components are used, not even the features of the operating system. Every single piece is perfectly harmonized to achieve the best performance, responsiveness, stability and cleanest sound.

DJ Player implements all DJing styles from traditional mixing of two tracks, manual beat-matching, to the most complex 4 decks synced controller+turntable setup.

We are trying to make this manual as complete as we can, so you can find every relevant information. Please let us know if something is still missing or not clear enough: http://djplayerpro.com/contact

System Requirements and Compatibility

DJ Player runs great on every iOS device (iPad, iPhone, iPod touch) with iOS 9.3 or later, including older devices such as the iPad 2.

Features, fluid 60 fps graphics and audio quality is the same on every iOS model, guaranteed. 64-bit devices are noticeably faster with music loading and analyzing.

The following hardwares can be attached to DJ Player:

USB Audio Class Compliant devices (sound cards, mixers, controllers, etc.).
USB MIDI Class Compliant devices (controllers, keyboards, etc.).
MIDI devices with Bluetooth LE wireless connections.
USB and Bluetooth computer keyboards.
The split cable adapter (DJ Cable, Traktor DJ Cable).
Every control vinyl (Serato is preferred). DVS functionality works with any USB Audio Class Compliant audio device, including $4 USB audio dongles -- 'licensed' DVS boxes are not required.
WiFi disks, NAS: WebDAV network storage (both HTTP and HTTPS) basic authentication, Bonjour.

Compatible audio file formats:

MP3 (MPEG-Layer III (three). Layer II (two) files are not supported -- they've bad quality for DJing.)
AAC (.AAC or .M4A)
STEMS (by Native Instruments)
WAV
AIFF
ALAC (Apple Lossless)

DRM-protected files cannot be used. Metadata support: ID3, Traktor (bpm/beatgrid/hot cues/loops), Serato (bpm/beatgrid/hot cues/loops).

Storage Space

DJ Player doesn't use much storage space for metadata, typically less than 1 GB for very large libraries. It doesn't have significant impact on your iCloud storage/backup space, nor in your network data usage (except if you're loading tracks from the network).

Always keep 1 GB free space for smooth iOS operation. Not specifically for DJ Player, but every application will be smoother this way. iOS needs this room to operate without any hickups.

Keep free space in mind before recording. One hour needs around 700 MB, plus you need 1 GB for smooth iOS operation, adding up to 1.7 GB storage space for a glitch-free 1 hour recording.

Getting Started: Overview of the User Interface

Statusbar

The statusbar is always visible. It displays essential mixing and system status information:

DVS Input Meter: shows the level of the DVS input signal. (If it's dark like on the picture above, then there is no DVS input signal.)
Clock: current time, derived from the iOS system time.
Recording Clock: the actual length of the current recording is displayed if recording is enabled.
Master Deck: the letter (A, B, C, D), the current bpm, current key and remaining time of the master deck.
System Status: audio CPU load (1-100) and battery level. Audio CPU indicates how much computing headroom is left before audio starts dropping out (you don't need to worry about it).
Master Level: shows the master output level. Green is best, orange is a little bit too hot, red is clipping (not good).

Layouts

DJ Player has four major layout options when used in landscape orientation:

Default Horizontal
Default Vertical
Two Hands Horizontal
Two Hands Vertical

Every feature is available on all layouts. The 'Two Hands' layouts are optimized for touch-screen use with large controls and two-handed operation.

DJ Player has 2 or 4 decks. A deck is similar to an audio player, such as a turntable, CD or MP3 player. Two decks are enabled by default and marked as 'A' and 'B'. If 4 decks are enabled in the settings, the other two decks are marked as 'C' and 'D'.

The Default layouts can display all decks simultaneously. The Two Hands layouts can only display 2 decks simultaneously.

In portrait orientation DJ Player offers one layout with large controls.
