# Stem Player

The Stem Player sits at the top of your DJ booth and gives you hands-on control over individual track stems. It functions similarly to a CDJ but with dedicated stem manipulation capabilities.

#### Enabling the Stem Player

To add Stem Players to your setup:

1. Open the **DJ Setup** window by pressing the DJ Setup button on the front toolbar of the DJ table
2. Select **"District VR Stem Player"** in the deck option dropdown

#### Loading Stems

Open the **Media Library** and look for tracks with a **stem icon**. You can drag and drop them onto the Stem Player or press the **Load** button to load.

#### Using the Stem Player

1. Performance Pads: Control individual stems by pressing the performance pads on the unit.
2. Jog Wheel Stem Control: Press and hold the jog wheel, then tap to mute or unmute each stem.
3. Loading Stems: Find your stems in the "4 of stems" section of the Media Library. Load them onto the Stem Player and start mixing.
