Display
NV's full-color displays provide real-time feedback of the software with different views of each deck. The three available views are Performance View 1, Performance View 2, and Library View.
To move to the next view, press the D.VIEW button (58). To enter Library View immediately, turn the SEL Knob (60).
To return to your previous view from Library View, do one of the following:
- Turn the SEL Knob to select a track, and then press LOAD to load it to the deck. You will then see the track loaded onto that deck in the previously used view.
- Use the D.VIEW button.
Each view shows the current settings of various controls, which you can adjust as described in the following sections.
(Library – Folders List)
(Library – Songs List)
1Deck: Indicates the number of the currently left/right selected deck of VirtualDJ controlled by the left/right side of the NV. Press the DECK button to switch between the decks.
2Track Name: Displays the Title of the currently loaded track. In the Browser Files view, the Column can be adjusted to provide alternative info (see Pads - NV Browser page)
3Artist Name: Displays the Artist of the currently loaded track. In the Browser Files view, the Column can be adjusted to provide alternative info (see Pads - NV Browser page)
4Track BPM: Displays the tempo (in beats per minute aka BPM) of the currently loaded track with a 0% pitch adjustment. To see the BPM at which it is currently playing, see Deck BPM below. In the Browser Files view, the Column can be adjusted to provide alternative info (see Pads - NV Browser page)
5Track Key: Displays the key of the currently loaded track.
6Deck BPM: Displays the current BPM at which the currently loaded track is playing. To adjust this value, move the deck's Pitch Fader. This number is not affected by temporary pitch bends (using the Pitch Bend -/+ buttons or the platter).
7Remaining Time: Displays how much time is left of the currently loaded track. Note that the displayed time is not taking the pitch into account (absolute value), so if the tempo is not the original, the time will differ from the one that is displayed on the Skin. The ring around the virtual platter is a visual representation of this value (the complete circle being the entire track).
8Pitch Range: Displays the currently selected range of the Pitch Fader. Press the PANGE/KEYLOCK button to adjust the range of its Pitch
9Pitch Value This is the current setting of the Pitch Fader. To adjust this setting, move the deck's Pitch Fader.
10Track Progress bar: This is the currently loaded track's waveform, which is color-coded according to the frequency of each area: red indicates low (bass) frequencies, green indicated mid-range frequencies, and blue indicates high (treble) frequencies.
In the waveform, hot cue points are represented by triangles at the bottom of the waveform and loop regions are represented by shaded-blue sections.
12Auto-Loop. In Performance View 2 only the deck's currently selected auto-loop length is displayed (or the length of the triggered Loop Roll). In Performance View 1, the length of each of the 8 Pads in Loop or Roll mode is displayed (depending on the selected Loop Bank). Buttons become blue when the corresponding loop is triggered.
12Waveform: This is the currently playing segment of the track's waveform, which will scroll by as the audio play-head moves through the track. The waveform is color-coded according to the frequency of each area: red indicates low (bass) frequencies, green indicated mid-range frequencies, and blue indicates high (treble) frequencies. In the waveform, hot cue points are represented by triangles at the top and bottom of the waveform, and loop regions are represented by shaded-blue sections.
