- Remember that Ctrl H - Will show / hide hints. So, turn hints on and pickup on the keyboard combinations you use frequently and memorize those.
- Note: Hint font size and Show/Hide Settings can be found the in the Main settings on the Dash board.
- Start with the F1 to F12 keys. These are the basic and most frequent functions.
- Then start picking up on the Alt keys. These are used to show and hide.
- Following that pick up on the Ctrl keys. These are used to trigger things such as DX8. Ex: Ctrl E will trigger the Echo effect.
- The keys are designed with thought as to what is being done. For example. Alt D will show you the Drives. Next to D are F and S. Alt F will show you the files and Alt S will show you the Directories.
- For the DX8. Looking at the keyboard you see E, R, T, and below it is D, F, G. Use Ctrl E: to launch Echo, R: Reverb, T: Chorus. D: distortion, F: Flanger, and G: Gargle. In about 1 week of continued use, everything will make sense. | How do I change the sound output device for the player?

The Jingles sound output device can be set one by one or all together from the Jingles global settings. | How does DJ App recognize Dance Formation, Speed, Dance Level, and Content?
DJ App looks for special identifiers inside the file name, any single sub directory , and the Id3 tags: Title, Artist, Album, Comment, and Grouping to identify the song.
Single Alpha Characters surrounded by [brackets] or (parenthesis) or {braces} containing any of the letters below will trigger a song identification. Example: [c]
In some cases triple alpha characters (initials) are used to trigger song identification: Example: adv
A Jingle song identification may be triggered by the term 'sounds' 'fx' 'jingle' etc.
Lastly, the exact name of the dance identification will trigger a song identification: example: Advanced.
Here is the chart used to identify songs. It is not case sensitive.
