Public Beta Guide

1. Video Folder: Open the app, go to the Decks tab, and select the folder where you store your video loops.

Recommended Folder Structure: We recommend organizing your videos into subfolders numbered 1 to 8. The logic behind this is that each folder corresponds to a specific Hotcue Trigger (1-8) in your DJ software.

For example, when you trigger Hotcue 1, Visual Buddy will automatically play a video from folder 1. This allows you to match the visual energy (e.g., folder 1 for intros, folder 2 for drops) to specific parts of your track.

2. Audio Sync: In the Settings tab, select your current audio interface. This allows effects to react to the Master rhythm.

3. DJ Software Setup:

Traktor Pro 4 Synchronization

To Sync Traktor with Visual Buddy you need to install a mod inside Traktor application folder.

• Open Visual Buddy > Settings > INSTALL QML FILES. This will copy the files inside a folder you select, for example your Desktop.
• Go to folder:
  /Applications/Native Instruments/Traktor Pro 4/
• Right click on "Traktor Pro 4" (or your current version) and select "Show Package Contents".
• Go to:
  /Contents/Resources/qml/CSI/
• Make a backup of the folder D2 you see there (change its name to D2_backup). (macOS will ask for your password)
• Now, drag the D2 folder that we created before on your desktop to this location. (macOS will ask for password again)

• Now, open Traktor app, and go to: Settings > Controller Manager > Add... > Pre Mapped > Traktor Kontrol > D2.

4. Video Output: Click the "Main Out" button to open the projection window. You can drag it to your second monitor/projector.
