Start pageLink to “Start page”

A new profile starts on the Start page. At the top, a field searches for features, tracks, artists and playlists like the function search. Below it are your library in numbers, “Next steps” (for example new tracks in Incoming or a library not yet checked), “Pinned”, “Recently used”, “Quick access” and, under “All features”, every feature with the place where you find it. If the library is empty, Sonodex offers “Import music” and “Start introduction”.

With a new profile, the tour starts automatically. Each step first opens the matching page:

StepWhat you will learn
Import musicImport individual files, whole folders or complete DJ libraries from Rekordbox, Serato, Traktor and co.
IncomingNew tracks land in Incoming first. There you analyse them, listen briefly and import them with “To library”.
Library & playlistsWith Ctrl you select individual tracks or playlists, with Shift a whole range. You create playlists and smartlists in the same dialogue.
Analysis & CuesBPM, beatgrid, key and waveform are created locally. Space plays and pauses, and you set hot cues directly in the player.
Sync to your DJ softwareBring playlists, cues and grids to Rekordbox, Serato or Engine DJ. Before every export you see what will change.
Function searchWith Ctrl+K you find every feature, track and playlist. See Function search & Start.

You move through the steps with “Next” and “Back”; the last step is called “Done”. Esc, ✕ or “End tour” cancel the tour at any time.
