Pro Tip: Keep Sync Active While Pitching the Inactive Deck
If you’re using a controller (works for me on Pioneer REV7) and find it frustrating that Sync gets deactivated when you adjust the pitch on the inactive deck (e.g. you’re previewing a track or setting it up while the other deck is live), here’s a little Trick to save your workflow:
Do this:
- Go to your MIDI settings in djay Pro.
- Set the Crossfader assignment to “Video Crossfader” instead of the default.
Why this works:
With this setting, Sync will no longer break when you move the pitch fader on a deck that isn’t currently in the mix — even if you’re not in a transition.
That means you can:
- Pitch tracks freely on Deck A or Deck B while staying in SYNC all the time
- Keep your transitions tight and your workflow smooth
Perfect for preparing tracks or layering next-ups — without losing the beatgrid / sync connection. Give it a try!
