7. Library Navigation
The library contains all the music that you have
added to ITCH. By using browse and search you
can easily narrow down your selection to find the
track you want.
TIP: You can change the size of your library text
by using the shortcuts ctrl + and ctrl -.
HARDWARE NAVIGATION CONTROLS
The SCROLL KNOB allows you to navigate up
and down through the library, BACK and FWD
move the cursor between adjacent columns
in the browser view. Use the BACK and FWD
buttons to move through any browse fields
available. Pressing the SCROLL KNOB also does
this.
NOTE: Pressing the SCROLL KNOB in the
crates list when a crate containing subcrates
is highlighted will expand and collapse the
subcrates.
MOUSE AND KEYBOARD
As well as using the control surface you can also
use the cursor keys
and mouse to navigate the library. The cursor
keys work as UP, DOWN,
FWD and BACK. The mouse can select the
different modes and make
Genre / BPM / Artist and Album selections.
SEARCHING
ITCH includes a search function to help you find
tracks quickly and easily. Just enter text into the
search box and ITCH will automatically find as
you type.
TIP: Use the keyboard shortcut CTRL + F to
jump to the search box. This keyboard shortcut
will also take you out of any crate or playlist
that you might be in and into your main library,
so you can find any track in your collection. If
you then click on a crate or playlist, the search
query will be cleared. To select which fields the
search function will look through, click on the
left hand side of the search box. The drop down
menu shows which fields are currently being
used. Press ESC or the X button on the right of
the search box to clear the search.
BROWSING
Press the BROWSE button on the Denon DJ
DN-HC5000 to open the browse panel.
Use the SCROLL KNOB to navigate the browse
panel. The browse panel will open above the
main file library. The filters are GENRE, BPM,
ARTIST, and ALBUM.
You can narrow down your search by selecting
the specific genre, BPM or name of the track
you’re looking for, and ITCH will show the results
on the main library window. You can move
between the four filters with the FWD and BACK
buttons, the computer keyboard or by clicking
with the mouse.
LIBRARY STATUS ICONS
The column at the far left shows the status of
each track, examples of these icons are below.

MP3 file. If possible, re-encode the MP3.*

PREPARE
The prepare panel is an area for holding tracks,
much like preparing a set by lifting records
partially out of your record bag.
Press the PREPARE button on the DN-HC5000
to open the prepare panel. Navigate through your
library and use the ADD button to add tracks
to the prepare window. These tracks will be
removed from the prepare panel once they have
been played. All tracks in the prepare panel will
be discarded when you exit ITCH.
TIP: Use the mouse to drag whole crates into
the prepare window
