CONTROLS & FUNCTIONS  
1.  
MODE (CTN/SGL) Toggles between Continuous and Single play modes. Continuous mode operates like a normal CD player, playing the  
entire disc without stopping. Single mode only plays one track at a time, returning to the Cue point when the track is completed. The LCD  
will display “SINGLE” when in that mode.  
2.  
3.  
DISPLAY – The TIME button switches the time value displayed in the LCD between elapsed track time, remaining track time, and the total  
remaining time for the entire disc. Markers next to the time readout indicate which of these modes is enabled. The BPM button switches the  
LCD display between BPM and PITCH values. Press and hold the BPM button to activate Auto BPM function (this is also indicated on the  
LCD screen)  
PLAY MODE – The VINYL button (when flashing) enables the touch sensitive jog wheel (#17) to respond like a turntable. During normal  
play mode, touching the platter will pause playback, and moving the platter forward or backward will create scratch sounds. The TOUCH  
REWIND button (when flashing) enables the jog wheel to facilitate beat juggling by simply tapping the surface area of the jog wheel.  
Touching and releasing the jog wheel once will return playback to the last marked cue Point. During cue or pause mode, touching the jog  
wheel will start playback, while releasing it will return it to the cue point.  
4.  
TIME KNOB – Fine tunes the time division parameter for use with the DSP FX (#10). [The HOLD button (#11) must be engaged in order for  
changes to lock, otherwise they will return to the default value].  
5.  
6.  
7.  
MINUS BUTTON – Moves the time division indicator (#7) to the left [for use with the DSP FX (#10)].  
LCD DISPLAY – Shows various information on the status, modes, and functions of the unit.  
TIME DIVISION INDICATORS – Indicates the time division (in measures) used by the DSP FX (#10). When 1/4 is selected, the activated  
FX will modulate with every beat, or every 1/4 measure. 1/2 signifies 2 beats (1/2 measure), 3/4 signifies 3 beats (3/4 measure), 1/1 signifies  
4 beats (1 measure), 2/1 signifies 8 beats (2 measures), and 4/1 signifies 16 beats (4 measures).  
8.  
RATIO KNOB – Fine tunes the frequency range for use with the DSP FX (#10). [The HOLD button (#11) must be engaged in order for

changes to lock, otherwise they will return to the default valu].  
9.  
PLUS BUTTON – Moves the time division indicator (#7) to the right [for use with DSP FX (#10)].  
10.  
FX SELECT – These six buttons refer to each of the individual DSP effects. Press once to engage (illuminated) and press again to disen-  
gage. Use the TIME KNOB, RATIO KNOB, MINUS BUTTON, and PLUS BUTTON to fine tune the parameters used for these FX.  
HOLD BUTTON – Sets and locks any new parameters set with the TIME and RATIO knobs. If the hold function is not selected, any changes  
to the effect parameters will be momentary.  
BPM BUTTON - Tap to enter manual BPM values for use with the TIME DIVISION INDICATOR and FX. This is generally used to manually  
calculate BPMs when the Auto BPM function is unable to lock onto a consistent beat. You must tap several times in order for a calculation to  
occur, and the calculation will only be as accurate as your tapping. Using this button will disengage the Auto BPM function.  
PITCH RANGE INDICATORS – Indicates the pitch range in percent as selected by #14.  
11.  
12.  
13.  
14.  
15.  
PITCH RANGE BUTTON – Selects between a pitch range of +/- 8, 16, 25, or 100%.  
KEY LOCK BUTTON – Enables the key lock function, which allows the tempo or BPM of the music to be altered without affecting the key.  
This button is illuminated when enabled.  
16.  
17.  
PITCH LOCK BUTTON – When illuminated, the pitch control is locked at 0%, regardless of the pitch slider’s position.  
JOG WHEEL – This touch-sensitive wheel has multiple functions:  
• When in pause or cue mode, the jog wheel can be used as a frame search control, allowing you to set it to a  
specific point.  
• During normal playback, the wheel works as a pitch bend, similar to a “push” or a “drag” on a turntable.  
Turning the wheel counter-clockwise temporarily slows down the playback speed according to the speed,  
velocity, and duration that’s applied to the wheel. Turning the wheel clockwise temporarily speeds up the  
playback speed.  
• When in VINYL or TOUCH REWIND mode, the wheel acts just like a vinyl turntable, moving the playback  
position forward or back in response to your movements.  
18.  
19.  
20.  
PITCH SLIDER – Used to adjust the playback pitch percentage. The slider is a set adjustment and will remain set until it is either moved, or  
the PITCH LOCK is turned on.  
PITCH BEND BUTTONS – Used to temporarily decrease or increase the playback speed. Pitch will return to the current setting when  
released.  
SAMPLER BUTTON – Once cue or samples are saved to one or all of the BANKS (#22) the SAMPLER button can be engaged (illuminated  
blue). Once in this mode, sounds stored in the BANKS will play regardless of whether the unit is in CUE, PLAY, or PAUSE mode. This  
means that you can play samples at the same time that your CD is playing. Press the SAMPLER button again to disable and stop sample  
playback. The audio sample can even play when there is no disc inside. The sampler pitch can be adjusted by turning the TIME KNOB, or  
by pressing the button down and rotating the JOG WHEEL simultaneously. The sampler volume can be adjusted by turning the RATIO  
KNOB or by pressing the button down and rotating the JOG WHEEL simultaneously. By using the MODE button (section #30), samples can  
be played once, or looped continuously.  
21.  
LOOP IN / OUT / RELOOP – These buttons control the marker points for seamless, on-the-fly looping. Press IN to set a cue point or the  
starting point of a seamless loop. Press OUT to set the ending point of a loop, and the loop will continue to play until the OUT button is  
pressed again. If a seamless loop has been made, but the CD player is not actively in loop mode (not playing), pressing the RELOOP button  
will instantly reactive the loop. Press OUT to exit the loop. LOOP and RELOOP will appear in the LCD display when the reloop function is  
available. During play mode, pressing the RELOOP button will instantly return play to the last set point without interrupting playback.  
BANK BUTTONS – Four different cue points or samples can be saved to these buttons. See operating instructions for further explanation.  
CLEAR BUTTON – Clears cue points stored in the BANKS (please refer to item #22).  
LOOP SAVE BUTTON – After creating a loop point (#21), pressing this button allows you to store the loop to one of the four BANKS. While  
the SAVE button is flashing red, press one of the BANK buttons to store the loop in that location. Cue points can also be saved by following  
this procedure. BANK locations can also be overwritten in the same way.

24.  
25.  
26.  
PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON – Press to play the CD from the current location, or to pause it at the current location.  
CUE BUTTON – During normal playback, pressing the button immediately returns the track to the last set cue point and pauses playback  
when released. Pressing CUE again will engage the cue monitor, which plays the track from the cue point until you release the CUE button.  
If you press pause (#25) at any time other than the currently stored cue point, pressing CUE will reset the cue point to the new position.  
SEARCH BUTTONS – Allows you to search through a track or a CD in either direction. While in pause mode, tracks can be moved one  
frame at a time. Holding down one of these buttons will cause the search in that direction to occur at a faster rate.  
TRACK BUTTONS Tapping one of these buttons will skip to the previous or next track. Holding it down will rapidly skip through the tracks.  
OPEN/CLOSE BUTTON – Opens or closes the CD tray. The CD will only eject while in pause or cue mode, and will not work while a CD is  
playing. If the tray is left open, it will close automatically after a brief time.

the order that you choose. For example, if you have all four banks loaded, press the SAMPLER (#20) button to enter this mode. Press the  
RECORD button in the SAMPLER SEQUENCER section (#30) and it will light red. Then press the BANK buttons in the desired sequence.  
Up to 12 steps can be stored in this sequence. Then press the PLAY button in the SAMPLER SEQUENCER section and the sequence will  
play. Press MODE to switch between ONE SHOT or LOOP mode. ONE SHOT will play the sequence once, then end. LOOP MODE will  
continue to play the sequence over and over. The SAMPLER SEQUENCER feature works in CUE, PLAY, OR PAUSE modes.  
REVERSE BUTTON – When engaged (illuminated) playback will occur in the opposite direction (backwards). This function works for normal  
playback, sample playback and loop playback.  
31.

STARTING PLAYBACK  
Press the PLAY/PAUSE button during the pause or cue mode to start playback. The PLAY/PAUSE button illuminates with a solid green light  
during playback.  
STOPPING PLAYBACK  
There are two ways to stop playback. Press the PLAY/PAUSE button during playback to pause at that point, or press the CUE button during  
playback to return to the position at which playback started (back cue).  
PAUSING  
Press the PLAY/PAUSE button to switch between play and pause. The PLAY/PAUSE button illuminates with a flashing green light when  
paused.  
CUEING  
Cueing is the action of preparing tracks for playback. When the CUE button is pressed, playback returns to the cue point and enters pause  
mode. When the PLAY/PAUSE button is pressed during the cue mode, playback starts.  
SETTING CUE POINTS  
• When using the jog wheel to set the specific start point or by skipping to a new track during play or pause, the  
beginning play point will be set as the cue point.  
• During playback, press the IN loop button to set a cue point on the fly. To return to this new cue point, press  
the CUE button and then press the PLAY/PAUSE button to resume playback from this new cue.  
• Cues can be stored to one of the four BANK buttons.  
• During playback in Vinyl mode, touch the platter and press the CUE button to set a new cue point. The unit will enter pause / cue mode.  
• During playback in Vinyl mode press PLAY/PAUSE, then find the point you would like to set as a cue point and press CUE.  
• With a cue point set in Vinyl Pause mode it will be impossible to move the playback position past the cue point. The platter can be  
scratched in this mode but once your hand is removed from the platter the playback position will be moved back to the cue point.  
To set a new cue point press PLAY then PAUSE. Then you can set a new cue point  
8.  
9.  
AUTO CUE  
When a disc is initially loaded, the cue point is set to the first source or music or sound. If the track is changed before pressing play, the cue  
point is changed to the first source of music or sound on that track. Pressing pause during playback also creates a new cue point.  
FRAME SEARCH / FAST FORWARD / FAST REVERSE  
By pausing playback first, the jog wheel can be used to locate a specific cue point frame by frame. Moving the jog wheel gently counter-  
clockwise moves the cue point back in time, while moving the jog wheel clockwise moves the cue point forward in time. As the wheel is  
moved, the monitor function allows you to hear the sound that is located at that frame or position in time. When the desired location is found,  
press the CUE button, then press the PLAY/PAUSE button to resume playback from this new cue. Moving the jog wheel faster in either  
direction will allow you to scan quickly through a disc or track.  
10.  
LOOP PLAY  
You can create a seamless, continuous loop between two points.  
• Engage playback by pressing the PLAY/PAUSE button, causing it to illuminate solid green (not flashing).  
• Set the start point of the seamless loop by pressing the IN button at the desired point in time.This will cause the OUT button to flash green.  
• Set the end point of the seamless loop by pressing the OUT button at the desired point in time. Playback will  
immediately return to the previously set IN point and play to the OUT point, creating a seamless loop without  
interruption. The RELOOP button will now be flashing green, and the LOOP indicator on the LCD screen will now be flashing.  
To exit the loop, press the OUT button again. When the music reaches the OUT point, it will play through it  
instead of looping back to the IN point.  
To replay or re-enter the loop, press the RELOOP button. The loop can be re-triggered by pressing the  
RELOOP button again and again. Press the OUT button to exit the loop again.  
11.  
MODIFYING LOOPS  
Once a seamless loop is created, the OUT point can be changed. Simply exit the loop by pressing OUT and then press it again once the  
new point in time is reached. For a shorter loop, make sure to exit the loop by pressing OUT immediately after the loop starts from the IN  
point, and press OUT again quickly.  
12.  
13.  
TIME DISPLAY  
During normal playback, each time you press the TIME button (#2), the display changes between elapsed time, track remaining time, and  
total disc remaining time.  
PITCH BENDING  
Pressing the PITCH BEND – or PITCH BEND + buttons will decrease or increase the speed of playback temporarily. The extent to which the  
speed is changed is proportionate to the amount of time the button is pressed. For example, if the PITCH BEND + button is held in continu-  
ously, the speed continues to increase until the maximum limit set by the PITCH RANGE is reached. Once the PITCH BEND + button is  
released the pitch will return to the pitch set by the PITCH SLIDER. The jog wheel can also be used to temporarily bend the pitch of the  
music during normal playback. Rotate the wheel clockwise to speed up and counter-clockwise to slow down. The speed that you rotate the  
jog wheel determines the percent of pitch bend. It is recommended that you use the outer edge of the jog wheel for this type of control, as  
touching the top surface may cause interruption of playback in certain modes of operation.  
MEMORY CUEING (SETTING A CUE POINT – BANK BUTTONS)  
14.  
Labeled 1 through 4, these banks store cue points, samples, or loops. Pressing one of the BANK buttons will store a cue point at the exact  
time it was pressed. The button will flash red, and then turn solid green, letting you know that a cue point has been stored. Press the button  
again, and playback will seamlessly restart from the stored cue point and the button will turn red. You can repeatedly press the BANK button  
to create a stuttering effect. If the unit is in pause or cue mode, pressing the button will start playback from the stored cue point, but will only  
keep playing while the button is depressed. To clear or delete cue points from memory, simply press the CLEAR button (#23). While it is  
flashing red, press the BANK button(s) you wish to clear and those buttons will also flash red. Press CLEAR once more to complete the  
process, and the BANK lights will now turn off, letting you know that there is no information stored in them. After cue points are stored to one  
of the BANKS, pressing the SAMPLER button (#20) will engage SAMPLER mode (please refer to item #20 in the Controls & Functions sec-  
tion).  
15.  
MEMORY BACKUP  
This will automatically retain the setting you have made for continuous or single play mode, even if you unplug the unit.

17.  
FADER START  
By connecting the CD player to a mixing board that has the fader start feature, the crossfader will engage playback or cue mode depending  
on its’ location. If the CD player is connected to the left side of the crossfader, playback will start once the fader is moved from the left most  
position towards the right. The CD player will re-cue itself when the crossfader is brought back to the left most position. Two CD players can  
be hooked up in this fashioin to work on both sides of the crossfader.  
RELAY PLAY USING TWO PLAYERS  
When both CD players are connected to each other via their FADER START / RELAY jacks, the players can work in unison by playing tracks  
one after another from both units.  
• Set both players to single play mode (the SINGLE indicator will be illuminated in the LCD displays).  
• Begin playback on the first player.  
• When the first track ends, playback will automatically start on the second player and the first player will automatically enter standby mode.  
• When the track on the second player ends, the first player will play the next track. The players will continue to  
perform continuous relay play until stopped or until the last track is played.  
• By setting a cue point on the standby player, you can perform relay to any desired cue point on the selected  
track.  
NOTE: Relay play may not work properly if the audio outputs on both players are not connected to the same  
audio input, amplifier, or if the mixing board is not set up properly.  
19.  
20.  
STUTTER EFFECTS  
Similar to the sound of a CD skipping, this effect can be created and controlled in a variety of ways.  
• Rapidly pressing the CUE button.  
• By storing a cue point to one of the four BANK buttons and pressing them rapidly.  
• By creating a seamless loop, and rapidly pressing the RELOOP button.  
• By creating a seamless loop with a very short duration.  
• By pressing PAUSE while audio is playing in CD Jog mode.  
REVERSE PLAY  
This allows you to play a track, loop, or sample backwards. This function is activated by pressing the REVERSE button (#31) and will react  
differently to different modes of operation.  
• Reverse track / disc play  
In this mode, the unit will playback in reverse until the reverse function is turned off. If the reverse function is  
left on, the unit will continue to play the remainder of the disc in reverse mode until it reaches the beginning of  
the disc. If the unit is paused in this mode, it will continue to play in reverse when playback begins again.  
Reverse loop play  
If the loop is less than 5 seconds long, then playback will continue in reverse until the reverse or loop function  
is turned off. Otherwise, the loop will play in reverse once and then turn off. If the reverse function is turned  
off at this point, the loop will continue to playback normally (forward). If the OUT button is pressed during  
reverse loop playback mode, playback will continue in reverse until the reverse function is turned off.  
USING FX  
21.  
The six DSP FX can be used to creatively modify and manipulate the way music sounds. They can be used individually, or in unison  
(stacked). However, only three FX can be used simultaneously, as Filter and Phase, Echo and Flanger, and Pan and Transform are linked,  
meaning that only one of the linked pair can be used at a time. For example, it’s possible to use Filter, Echo, and Pan, simultaneously, but it  
is not possible to use Filter and Phase at the same time. FX are engaged and disengaged by pressing their corresponding button (section  
#10 in the Controls & Functions section). Ultimately, it is up to you to experiment with these various FX, their parameters, and combinations  
to hear what they are truly capable of and to get familiar with their finer points.  
• Time based FX  
FX will respond according to the selected TIME DIVISION INDICATOR (#7). For example, if 1/1 is shown and the Filter FX is selected, the  
Filter will modulate one complete cycle over the course of one measure, or four beats. If 4/1 is shown, the Filter will modulate one complete  
cycle over the course of four measures, or sixteen beats. When in BEAT SYNC MODE, the modulation will occur according to the time  
frame dictated by the BPM of the track being played.  
• Using the TIME knob  
This knob is used to dial in specific values for the time in which FX modulate, other than the strict values in the TIME DIVISION INDICATOR  
(#7). This allows for a more free-form application of the various FX and how they change over time. For example, if you want your track to  
pan back and forth in a manner which doesn’t necessarily conform to the beat, turning the TIME knob will display the new value in the LCD  
screen, and will also light the two TIME DIVISION INDICATORS that the new value falls between. Time divisions such as 1.5/4 and 3/4 and  
3/1 can be achieved in this way, as well as being able to smoothly adjust the time parameter, instead of jumping between values with the  
MINUS (#5) or PLUS (#9) buttons.  
• Using the RATIO knob  
This knob is used to dial in specific values for the depth in which FX modulate. For example, when using the Filter FX, this knob is used to  
adjust the width of the affected frequency range. Turning the knob clockwise causes the Filter to affect a greater frequency range, while turn-  
ing it counter-clockwise affects a narrower frequency range.  
• Hold mode  
When engaged (illuminated) any FX as well as their parameters will be “frozen” so that whatever modulation is occurring at that time will be  
held until the HOLD button is pressed again. Since any changes made with the TIME or RATIO knob instantly return to their original value  
when the Hold mode is not engaged, use this mode to maintain these settings.  
22.  
SLEEP MODE  
The CD player automatically shuts off the transport and laser and displays “SLEEP MODE” in the LCD screen after being left in pause or cue  
mode for 15 minutes. This will lengthen the life of your motor drive, laser, and LCD screen. To wake up your unit from sleep mode, simply  
press CUE, or PLAY/PAUSE.
