    While the Filter control is enabled, the illumination of the Jog will offer cold/warm speeding colors, depending on the value of the applied Filter.

  12. DECK SELECT. Use this button to select the assigned deck for the left and the right side of the DDJ-WeGO.
    When the left DECK button is lit, deck 3 will be controlled from the left side of the DDJ-WeGO and when the led is off, deck 1 will be controlled by the left side of the DDJ-WeGO.
    When the right DECK button is lit, deck 4 will be controlled from the right side of the DDJ-WeGO and when the led is off, deck 2 will be controlled by the right side of the DDJ-WeGO.

  13. SAMPLER MODE. Use this button to toggle between the Sampler and the HotCue mode for the HotCue/Sampler buttons (22). The led if this button will be lit if the Sampler mode is selected.

  14. HOTCUE/SAMPLES (1-4). The 4 numbered buttons offer different functionality depending on the selected mode (21).

    In HotCue mode, each one of the 4 buttons assigns Hot Cue Point (1 to 4) or returns the track to that Hot Cue Point if the HotCue is assigned.
    When a Hot Cue Button is unlit, you can assign a Hot Cue Point by pressing it at the desired point in your track.
    Hold SHIFT down and then press a button to delete its assigned Hot Cue Point.

    In Sampler mode, each one of the 4 buttons triggers a Sample from the selected Sampler Bank of VirtualDJ. If the selected bank has less than 5 samples, both sides of the DDJ-WeGO will control the same samples. If the selected Sampler bank has more than 4 samples, the left side of the DDJ-WeGO will control samples 1 to 4 and the right side will control samples 5 to 8.
    The trigger/playing behavior depends on the selected Trigger mode of the Bank (On/Off, Hold, Stutter or Unmute) and can be changed from the VirtualDJ Browser in the Sampler view of the Side View.
    Hold SHIFT down and then use the same buttons to stop the sample (useful if the selected trigger mode is Stutter or Unmute).
