Display Controls
The Display of the TTXUSB was developed to instantly provide usable feedback regardless of the turntable
orientation. Understanding its functions may improve your skill level.
1.
Platter Direction Sensors:
Whether the turntable platter is turning or stopped, these segments
indicate the direction of rotation. They move in pairs on opposite sides of the display.
NOTE: If the platter is removed while the turntable is powered on, the entire ring of
segments will flash indicating that the drive magnets have been pulled apart and the
motor has entered PROTECTION MODE. It is recommended that the turntable be powered
off after it enters PROTECTION MODE before replacing the platter.
2.
Multi-Function Segment Indicators:
Depending on the display mode, these Indicators may
provide pitch, BPM or motor settings. See the independent functions of the PITCH, BPM and MOTOR
CONTROLS for additional information.
3.
BPM Button:
Pressing this button will toggle the center section of the display between the current
pitch setting and an estimated beats per minute (BPM) reading. If this button is pressed and held for
2 seconds, the BPM counter will recalculate the BPM estimation. If the display is indicating a steady
"---" this means that the TTXUSB is calculating the BPM range OR it is unable to distinguish an
estimate. If the BPM estimation is a flashing "---" then this indicates that there is no audio being
processed.
4.
Pitch versus BPM indicators:
The
word PITCH and the PERCENTAGE
symbol are both active while the
display indicates the pitch setting. The
BPM indicator is only active when the
display is set to provide BPM
estimations.
5.
Pitch Range Button:
This button
toggles the pitch range between 10,
20 and 50% when pressed in
succession. If this button is pressed
and held for 2 seconds, the pitch
range will be set to 8% until the
button is pressed again. If this button
is pressed and held together with the
BPM Button (3), then the contrast of
the Display will be reduced until the
buttons are released.
6.
Pitch Range Indicators:
Depending
on the pitch range (8, 10, 20, 50%)
these indicators will be active. When
the pitch range is set to 8%, none of
these indicators are active.
7.
RPM settings:
The 33, 45 or 78
segments will be active for the
respective motor RPM mode.
8.
Key Lock Indicator:
This symbol
indicates that the onboard digital signal processors are correcting the KEY of the playback source.
NOTE: The KEY LOCK function can only be used while the output is set to LINE level.
9.
Quartz Lock Indication:
If the QUARTZ LOCK function (General Controls) is engaged, this
segment becomes active and the display will flash "- Q -" if the PITCH FADER is adjusted until the
QUARTZ LOCK function is deactivated.
10.
Start Time Indicator:
If this indicator is active while the motor is starting, it means that the
startup time has been adjusted using the Start Time Adjuster (General Controls)
11.
Brake Time Indicator:
If this indicator is active while the motor is stopping, it means that the stop
time has been adjusted using the Braking Time Adjuster (General Controls)
12.
Contrast:
Press both (3) and (5) simultaneously to cycle through contrast levels on the display.
