5.4 Selecting the operating mode
To switch over between single title replay [indi-
cation “Single” (C)] and continuous replay [indi-
cation “Cont.” (D)], press the button CONT. / LIST
(6).
A For the
single title replay
the unit is
switched to pause after replay of each title.
This mode is especially provided for DJ
applications. If this mode has been adjusted,
after selecting a title, the player will be set to
pause precisely on the spot where the music
starts (mostly not at the time index 0 : 00 : 00
but some frames later, e. g. 0 : 00 : 15). This
spot will be automatically stored as a starting
point (Auto Cue point) and shown on the dis-
play by the indication “CUE” (K). After starting
the title, it is possible to return to this starting
point with the button CUE (17). After replay-
ing a title, the unit will be set to pause pre-
cisely on the spot where the music of the next
title starts. This spot will then be stored as a
new starting point.
B For the
continuous replay
all titles (MP3
mode: all titles of the folder or play list) are
played continuously one after the other, i. e.
after the last title the first title restarts. While
replaying and when selecting titles, no Auto-
Cue points are set.
Note:
In some cases also in the mode “continuous
replay” an Auto-Cue point is set (however, not
exactly according to frame at the start of music but
at the time index 0 : 00 : 00), e. g. after reading in a
data carrier.
5.5 Short replay of a title beginning
The button CUE (17) allows the short replay of a
title beginning as long as this button is kept
pressed. After releasing the button, the unit will
return to the title beginning and is set to pause.
1) The player must be set to single title replay:
indication “Single” (C). If “Cont.” (D) is shown,
press the button CONT. / LIST (6).
2) Select the title (selection of title and folder or
play list
chapter 5.1 or 5.2).
3) By keeping the button CUE pressed, shortly
replay the title beginning.
4) To replay the title, press the button
(19).
5.6 Fast forward and reverse
For fast forward or reverse of a title, first press
the button SEARCH (20). “SEARCH” will be indi-
cated in the text line (N). Turn the jog wheel (16)
into the corresponding direction. The forward /
reverse speed depends on the turning speed of
the wheel.
To switch off the function, press the button
SEARCH again (indication “SEARCH” disap-
pears). In the replay mode, the function will auto-
matically be switched off 8 seconds after actuat-
ing the wheel the last time.
Notes:
In the pause mode, the current spot is con-
stantly repeated after fast forward or reverse. To stop
the repeat, either press the button CUE (17) shortly
twice (new Cue point is set,
chapter 5.8) or start the
replay with the button
(19).
5.7 Precise selection of a certain spot
A spot in the title can be selected with the preci-
sion of 1 frame (
1
⁄
75
second) if e. g. for starting the
replay from a certain spot instead of starting it
from the beginning of a title.
1) When the desired spot is roughly reached by
replaying the title or by using fast forward /
reverse (
chapter 5.6), set the unit to
pause with the button
(19).
2) Precisely select the spot by turning the jog
wheel (16) clockwise and counter-clockwise.
For an acoustic check the adjusted spot will
be constantly repeated.
3) When the desired spot has been found,
shortly press the button CUE (17) twice.
Thus, the spot will be stored and repeating
will end. The replay can now be started from
this point with the button
.
5.8 Return to a certain spot (Cue point)
To be able to quickly go to a certain spot, a start-
ing point (Cue point) can be stored with the but-
ton CUE (17). However, in the single title replay
mode, this point will be overwritten with the start-
ing point (Auto-Cue point) of the next title when
the next title is reached or selected [if required,
switch over to total title replay with the button
CONT. / LIST (6)].
Note:
The Cue point stored will be deleted:
– when selecting another folder (or another play list)
– when switching over between CD and USB storage
medium
– when switching off the unit
1) While replaying, set the unit to pause with the
button
(19) when the spot is reached to
which the unit is to return later. The LED
above the button CUE (17) flashes.
2) If required, use the jog wheel (16) to go to the
precise spot (
chapter 5.7). After turning
the wheel, the spot is permanently repeated.
3) Press the button CUE. Thus, the spot is
memorized as a Cue point. “CUE” (K) is indi-
cated on the display and the LED above the
button CUE lights up continuously. To stop
the repeated replay of the spot, the button
CUE can be pressed again.
4) Restart the replay with the button
.
5) With the button CUE it is now possible to
return to the Cue point. After the return, CUE
is inserted on the display and the player is set
to pause.
6) Start the replay with the button
or keep the
button CUE pressed as long as the title is to
be played. After releasing the button CUE,
the player goes back to the Cue point and is
set to pause.
5.9 Changing the speed with or
without displacing the pitch
The speed can be changed with the sliding con-
trol (11) up to ±100 %:
+100 % = double speed
-100 % = standstill
1) Select the adjusting range with the button
PITCH (9). The adjustment selected with the
button PITCH is shown via the two LEDs (10)
next to the button:
both LEDs off:
speed control deactivated,
the title is played at standard speed
LED 8 % lights up:
speed control activated,
adjusting range ±8 %
LED 16 % lights up:
speed control activated,
adjusting range ±16 %
both LEDs light up:
speed control activated,
adjusting range ±100 %
In addition, each time the button PITCH is
pressed, the text line (N) shortly shows the
selected adjustment: “Pitch 8 %”, “Pitch
16 %”, “Pitch 100” or “Pitch off”.
2) Adjust the speed with the sliding control. The
display will show the percentage deviation
from the standard speed on the top right (l).
The number of beats per minute (P) will
change accordingly.
3) When the speed is changed, the pitch will
also change proportionally. However, for a
constant pitch, press the button MT (22). The
display will show the indication “MT” (R) and
the LED next to the button MT lights up. To
switch off the function, press the button MT
again.
5.10 Pitch Bend – matching the beat
between two music pieces
When operating two CD / MP3 players, the beats
of two music pieces with the same speed can be
synchronized precisely. Thus, the dancing
rhythm will not be interrupted when crossfading
from one unit to the other.
1) First use the speed control (11) to adapt the
speed of the music piece to which crossfad-
ing is desired to the speed of the current
music piece. For this purpose, set the same
number of beats per minute with the sliding
control, see indication (P) at the bottom on
the right of the display.
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 (8): As long as the button
+
or
-
is kept pressed, the replay of the title will be
by 16 % faster or slower. Thus, the beats will
be displaced 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 effect
For creating a scratch effect (corresponding to
manual turning of a turntable platter) press the
button SCRATCH / F.START (15) and turn the
jog wheel (16) back and forth accordingly. The
text line (N) will show “SCRATCH”. To deacti-
vate the function, press the button SCRATCH /
F. START once again.
5.11.2 Droning effect
If the function Master Tempo (constant pitch)
has been activated [indication “MT” (R) on the
display and LED next to the button MT (22) lights
up], deactivate it with the button MT. Turn the jog
wheel (16) back and forth to increase or
decrease the replay speed alternately. This will
create a droning effect.
5.11.3 Stutter effect
The Cue point stored with the button CUE (17)
[
chapter 5.8] can be used to create a stutter
effect: When the button CUE is shortly pressed
several times, a stutter effect will be created. The
more suitable the Cue point (e. g. start of an
instrument or beginning of a word), the more
impressive the effect.
5.12 Programming your personal title
sequence
The CD / MP3 player offers the possibility to pro-
gramme an individual sequence of titles with 99
titles as a maximum. With MP3 mode, the titles
can be compiled from different folders or play
lists. However, different from a play list, the pro-
grammed title sequence cannot be called without
limitation but will be deleted after switching over
to another data carrier or switching off the unit.
