Allen & Heath User Guide for XONE:DX with Serato ITCH 1.6 44
MAIN SCREEN OVERVIEW
TRACK OVERVIEW DISPLAY
This area provides a complete overview of the waveform of the track and includes a marker to show the
current position within the track. This view is useful for finding transitions within the track. The wave-
form is coloured according to the spectrum of the sound; red representing low frequency bass sounds,
green representing mid frequency sounds and blue representing high frequency treble sounds. You can
jump to different positions within the track by clicking on the track overview display. Grey lines behind
the overview show the length of the track - a thin grey line every minute, and a thick grey line every 5
minutes. If you have not analyzed your files the overview will be filled when you load the track onto a vir-
tual deck.
TIP: Analyze files before you play.
MAIN WAVEFORM DISPLAY
This area provides a close-up view of the track, including colour-coding to show the frequency of the
sound; red representing low frequency bass sounds, green representing mid frequency sounds and blue
representing high frequency treble sounds.
You can also switch to a 3-band spectrum view by holding the Ctrl key and clicking on the waveform.
Click and hold on the waveform to ‘scrub’ or make fine adjustments to your position within the track.
The main waveform is zoomed around the current position in the track.
TIP: Use the + and – keys to zoom in and out.
NOTE: The waveforms scale with the PITCH knob to make it easier to see when beats are aligned and
in time.
TEMPO MATCHING DISPLAY
The tempo matching display area provides a helpful tool for beat matching. ITCH detects the beats within
the track and places a row of red peaks (for the tracks on virtual decks 1 and 3) above a row of orange
peaks (for the tracks on virtual decks 2 and 4) in the tempo matching display area. When tracks are
matched to the same tempo, the peaks will line up. This display does not show the relative timing of the
beats, only the tempos of the tracks. The peaks will still line up when the tracks are playing at the same
tempo but are out of sync.
