CONTROLLER OVERVIEW
The NuVJ controller provides a simple and quick way to interface with the most important functions and
features of the NuVJ software. The controller was specifically designed to control the NuVJ software, but may
also be used as a generic MIDI controller for a variety of other software applications and hardware devices
which support the MIDI protocol.
Please note: The NuVJ controller was specifically designed to be used with the NuVJ software.
However, it may also used as a generic MIDI controller for various other applications which respond
to MIDI commands. If you use the NuVJ controller with another software application, you might
notice that some of the controller features are disabled. For example, the pads and buttons will
not light up. This is normal and the controller will still function properly.
For the purposes of this manual, we will only explain the control surface functionality when used in conjunction
with the NuVJ software. Please also read the "Introduction to the Software" and "Using the Software" sections
of this manual for more information on the software.

1.
PADS: The 9 pads on each side control which 'clip' is displayed on each 'deck zone'. Taping
the pad will trigger the clip that is assigned to the particular 'cell' in the software. Please see
Introduction to the Software section for infromation on clips, cells, and decks.
2.
WHEEL: The wheels on each side can be used to scratch or speed up/slow down the video
currently playing. If you hold down the [SCRATCH] button underneath the wheel, you can
use the wheel for scratching the video content. If the button is not held down, you can use
the wheel to speed up and slow down clips temporarily, like a pitch bend.
3.
SPEED: The two vertical sliders in the middle set the speed of the video playback, allowing
you to slow down, accelerate or reverse the video on each deck zone.
4.
[SCRATCH]: When this button is held down, the jog wheel can be used to scratch the video
playing on that deck.
