PADS - LOOP ROLL


While the Auto Loop mode is selected, press the same AUTO mode button again to set the PADs to Loop Roll mode (led will blink). The Pads section of the default VirtualDJ GUI on the corresponding deck will be also set to the Loop Roll pad page.


Loop Roll mode - AFX


Each one of the 8 Pad triggers a momentary Loop Roll (while pressed) of a size as shown in the image above. Once the Pad is released, the track will resume playing from the position it would have been, if the Loop was never triggered.
