VirtualDJ by Atomix Productions is a DJ mixing application for performing and recording sets. Its default keyboard mapping leans on ALT combinations for deck actions (play, cue, sync, loops, pitch) and CTRL combinations for browsing and loading tracks, letting you control both decks without ever leaving the keyboard.
