Analyzing files
This function is operated not on the DDJ-S1 but on the computer.
Before you play your music in ITCH it is very important to analyze your
files first. The analyze files function processes the tracks in your library
to detect file corruption, prepare the waveform overviews, and if enabled
calculate the BPM values.
! This is function is performed in ITCH while in the offline player.
! For details on the positions of keys, see Screen when this unit is not
connected on page 17.
Setting the beat grid automatically when
analyzing tracks
Click [Set Beatgrid] to check it.
When [Set Beatgrid] is checked, the beat position is automatically
analyzed when analyzing the track and the beat grid is attributed
automatically.
Setting the BPM automatically when analyzing
tracks
1 Click [Set auto bpm] to check it.
When [Set auto bpm] is checked, the BPM is automatically analyzed
when the track is analyzed.
When ITCH determines that the analyzed BPM information is accurate,
the BPM information is written into the music file.
2 Click [range] to display the pull-down menu.
3 Click the BPM analysis range you want to set.
Specifying the BPM analysis range from the [range] pull-down menu
avoids having the track analyzed with an erroneous BPM value. When

more or less the BPM value of the track you want to analyze.
