Hey, i have a pioneer ddj-sx and virtual dj 7.4. Does anyone know how to disable Sync for a new track if the genres speeds don't agree? I was djing last night and twice i changed from house to hip hop and the speed difference was so great i just wanted to scratch drop the next song in at it's "natural" speed, however it kept jumping back to sync speed of the currently playing track which i didn't want. Perhaps shift + sync to release sync for the cueing track?
To claify - i have auto sync enabled in config and don't really want to go in and out of config during a set. I'm interested whether there is an existing solution to turning off sync as required using the pioneer default mapping or a custom tweak.
Another issue i am having is changing a tracks speed after completing a transition. Is there also a way to reset/disable sync so pitch can be altered manually? Perhaps these issues are related and resolved using same button combination? I am aware you can alter pitch by moving pitch slider all the way forward or back, but this sounds horrible when the song is playing live!
Cheers in advance.

Options in the CONFIG menu can't be turned on/off on demand from a controller. When using a MIDI controller, having these options turned off is recommended. You can press the SYNC button to sync on demand, but bear in mind that you may need to move the pitch slider to the new position to be able to make further manual adjustments.
