#Deckadance 2.43 manual

Both modes allow for scratching and the manual control of playback speed and direction. When using vinyl, the program distinguishes between 'absolute mode', which allows for needle dropping and jump track position from the vinyl, and 'relative mode', which doesn't. Through an 'autolearning system,' Image-Line claims the program can use essentially all CD and vinyl controllers on the market. Deckadance works with several timecoded vinyl and CDs. The program uses a MIDI auto detection system. ĭeckadance can be controlled using a mouse, keyboard, CD system, MIDI controller, or in the case of the Club Edition, timecoded vinyl. Master ReLooper effects include a wha-wha filter, panoramic LFO, ring-modulator, and track-coder that combines a vocoder and low-fi distortion effect.

ReLooper - The ReLooper slices and re-arranges samples in the playback buffer for either Deck A or Deck B, with the looped region defined by beat markers.

It also allows for the recording and looping of live audio. There is a volume control for sampler slot output, and effects can be layered onto the sample banks. The sampling process works in conjunction with a beat detection feature, meaning the samples can be automatically synced to tempo.

Samplers - Deckadance has eight integrated sampler banks that can save 1, 2, 4, or 8 beat pattern loops from the decks.
