Mixer Deck Functions
12) Jog/Shuttle Wheel
This wheel is used in conjunction with the
SCRATCH button described in #11. In
Jog/Shuttle mode, rotating the wheel clockwise
advances the track, counterclockwise reverses
the track. In Pitch/Bend mode, clockwise
increases the pitch, counterclockwise slows the
pitch. In scratch mode, quickly alternating
back/forth simulates the vinyl scratch action on
DJ turntables. This function works with CD’s as
well as MP3 files.

track to revert back to the position in which

15) Direct Access Buttons 0-9
These can be used to directly select a track to
play, or to record on a playlist. This is especially
useful when using USB drives with a large
number of tracks stored.
16) LCD Display
Blue backlit display provides a wealth of
information on the tracks being played. When a
playlist is active, It displays the 1~20 track
number in the lower left corner. While playing
CD’s or MP3’s it displays the overall track
number in the upper left corner. The top right
corner shows track time, with selectable played,
elapsed or total time modes. Immediately
beneath this time display is a bargraph showing
relative time remaining in the track being
played. This enables the DJ to have a visual idea
of how far into the track they are. The bargraph
will blink when less than 30 seconds remain on
the track. Middle right shows the +/-
percentage of the pitch bend. In normal mode,
the display will read 0.0.
