Use Virtual Dj Plugins

Virtual DJ's PC version comes supplied with a Karaoke Rotation plug-in.


Your Virtual DJ license gives you access to many plug-ins on the Virtual DJ website, which you can download and plug into the software. Plug-ins include skins, sound effects, video effects, samples, languages, graphics, tools and drivers. Virtual DJ's PC version comes supplied with a Karaoke Rotation plug-in, which you can activate, configure and use. The Virtual DJ Karaoke plug-in can assist in managing a Karaoke event and provides support for playing and mixing Karaoke files.


Instructions


1. Activate the plug-in. Highlight and select the "Activate" button that corresponds to the plug-in in the Video Effects section. In the case of the Karaoke plug-in, the Karaoke rotation list will launch and send the bitmap image to the main video output. The "List" button is used to display the rotation list. "Config" brings up the configuration dialog box and the "Next" button starts the next song/singer selection.
