2) Synchronize the beats of the music piece to

which crossfading is desired to the beats of
the current music piece with the buttons
PITCH BEND (22): As long as the button

is kept pressed, the replay of the title will be

faster or slower. Thus, the beats will be dis-
placed with respect to the beats of the current
music piece.

3) The beats will also be displaced when the jog

wheel (16) is turned.

5.11 Effects

5.11.1 Scratch effects

For creating scratch effects (corresponding to
manual turning of a turntable platter), press the
button SCRATCH (6) and turn the jog wheel (16)
back and forth accordingly. The LED of the but-
ton will light up and the text line (O) will show
“SCRATCH”. To deactivate the effect, press the
button SCRATCH once again.

5.11.2 Droning effects

If the function Master Tempo (constant pitch)
has been activated [indication “MT” (S) on the
display], deactivate it with the button MT (24).
Turn the jog wheel (16) back and forth to
increase or decrease the replay speed alter-
nately. This will create a droning effect.

5.11.3 Stutter effects

The Cue points stored with the buttons CUE
(18), CUE 1 and CUE 2 (11) [

chapter 5.8]

can also be used to create interesting stutter
effects: When one of these buttons is shortly
pressed several times, a stutter effect will be cre-
ated. The more suitable the Cue point (e. g. start
of an instrument or beginning of a word), the
more impressive the effect.

5.11.4 Replaying a continuous loop

A certain section of a title can be repeated as a
seamless continuous loop as many times as
desired.

1) Switch to replay with the button

(20).

When the desired starting point of the loop is
reached (point a in fig. 6), shortly actuate the
button A (19).

Fig. 6 Replaying a continuous loop

Hint:

To define the starting point with the precision

of 1 frame, first set the unit to pause with the button

, precisely select the spot with the jog wheel (16),

then press the button A.

2) When the desired end of the section is

reached (point b in fig. 6) while the replay is
continued, press the button B / EDIT (19). The
section between the points will be continu-
ously repeated. As long as a continuous loop
is replayed, the display indicates “RELOOP”
(J).

3) To displace the end point or to define it with

the precision of 1 frame, press the button B/

EDIT during replay of the loop. The time indi-

cation (P) will now show the time index of the
end point. Displace the end point with the jog
wheel (16) and confirm the end point with the
button B / EDIT.

4) The loop section can also be divided or be

multiplied many times over. While the loop is
replayed, select the change of length with the
button

(21). The text line (O) shows

the adjustment:
TRIM:

⁄

5) To exit the loop and to continue the title

replay, press the button RELOOP / EXIT (19).
To restart the loop, press the button
RELOOP / EXIT again.

Note:

A stored loop is deleted as soon as the next title

is reached or another title is selected with the button
or

(21) while replaying.

Section with a fraction or multiple of a beat length

For titles in

⁄

time, the length of a section for the

loop replay may be adjusted exactly to a fraction
or a multiple of the beat length:

⁄

1) Keep the button MEMO / AUTO (9) pressed

and adjust the length with the jog wheel (16).
The length is indicated in the text line (O),
e. g. “AUTO 2 / 1” = two beat lengths. After
this adjustment the button MEMO

AUTO

lights up to indicate that the end point of a
loop section is automatically set.

2) Define the starting point with button A (19).

Thus, the continuous loop is started at the
same time and the end point is set according
to the length adjustment.

3) The length of the loop section can also be

changed subsequently, as described above
(step 3 or 4).

5.12 Compiling your personal title

sequence

To replay only selected titles in a certain order, a
sequence of 99 titles as a maximum can be pro-

indication “PG” (R) stops flashing.

To replay the title sequence once again,

set the unit to pause and press the button
PROG so that the indication “PG” flashes

6 Fader Start

The function Start / Pause of the button

(20)

can be remote-controlled via a mixer with fader
start function. The connection to the mixer is
described in chapter 4, step 3. Adjust the sliding
switch (34) on the rear side of the player mecha-
nism to the type of fader start of the mixer:

LOCK

= control via an on / off switch

This switch position must be selected for
most mixers of the “img Stage Line” range.
By advancing the fader, a switch starting the
replay will be closed in the mixer. When the
fader is closed, the switch will open and thus
set the player unit to pause.
