Phones & Tablets

VirtualDJ Remote is an application for iOS and Android that uses mobile devices as an
additional interface to remotely control the VirtualDJ software. The Remote connects to
VirtualDJ wirelessly over WiFi and is completely secure since only Remote devices on the

accept list will be able to interact with VirtualDJ. The Remote’s display is dependent on the

aspect ratio of the mobile device. In most cases the default tablet display will show both
decks while the default phone display will show a single deck due to having less available
space on the screen.

The App can be downloaded from the following links:
iOS Version (iPhone/iPad)

Once the Application is
downloaded, ensure that the
WiFi Network on your mobile
device is on the same Network
as the computer that is running
VirtualDJ. Open the App and it
will advise that it is waiting for a
connection.

Go to Settings, then click on the

Remote Tab. The device and it’s

status will be displayed in the
window.

Click on the device in the list and
the Connect button will appear.
Click on Connect to authorize the
mobile device to be used with the
computer. Check the box labeled

“Connect automatically” if you

wish for the device to connect at
any time in the future without
having to be re-authorized.

Once successfully connected,
the status of the device will
change and the options to
disconnect or change the remote
skin will become available. At
this point, the Remote is ready
for use and the settings window
can be closed.

TABLET VIEW

On a tablet, the VDJ Remote displays most of the information and controls in the main
interface so that VirtualDJ can be monitored and controlled while away from the main
computer. Anything that is done in the remote will directly reflect on the software interface on
the computer as well. Multiple remotes can be connected and used at the same time.

BASIC DECK CONTROLS

Each deck offers a Jog Wheel, Pitch
Fader and set of Transport controls to
easily control what is happening in
VirtualDJ while away from the main
computer. The Jog Wheel can be touched
to Scratch or perform Pitch Bends
depending on the mode selected. Double
tapping the Pitch Fader will set the pitch
back to it’s neutral position (0%).

In addition to these Basic Controls, there
are 4 separate buttons available around
the outside of the Jog Wheel that provides
additional features that can be toggled on
and off. These features are enabled when
the button is the same color as the deck
and disabled when the button is greyed
out.

The Rhythm Wave displays the peaks and curves of the files on both decks to better
visualize the tracks relationships with one another and make beat matching easier. There
are 2 views available; the default Rhythm Wave or the Horizontal Scratch Wave.

The Waveform can be resized by pinching in and out to adjust it’s zoom level.
