Technical specifications Large jog wheels with touch detection
- Same size as jog wheels on CD players
- 12cm (4.7") diameter: as large as a compact disc.
- 1.9cm (0.75") height: as comfortable as on a CD player.
- 2 large jog wheels you can’t miss.
Weight sensors detect the user’s touch by detecting the hand’s weight, to activate scratch mode. Detection of the hand’s weight activating the jog wheels’ touch control is:
- natural: like on vinyl turntables and high-end CD players.
- secure: no disturbance from static electricity.
- intuitive: no need to calibrate.
Press down The hand’s weight moves the jog wheels down by 1mm:
- press the jog wheel down: you feel that you’re scratching.
- move your hand up: you feel that you’ve released the jog wheel
Jog wheels’ control over the DJ software While the track plays, you control the DJ software with 2 actions on the jog wheel:
- rotation, to control movement within the track.
- press down to control scratching.
Thus, during audio track playback:
- Rotation without jog wheel press = pitch bend (like when you turn a turntable’s ring).
- Rotation with jog wheel press = scratch (like when you turn a vinyl record with your hand flat on the record).
- No rotation with jog wheel press = stop playback (like when you stop a vinyl record’s rotation with your hand).
- No rotation without jog wheel press = playback continues.
Jog wheel accuracy
- Rotation: 256 steps per revolution = 1.4 degrees per step.
- Press down: <1mm travel.
