By pressing at the same time Player 1 and Palyer 2 button
you can enables the DJ function that allows an alternative way of playing the songs.
The 2 players are shown as 2 record players. The one selected is highlighted in red.
Each player has a pair of level indicators and the keys described below:
- CUE: Is a sort of bookmark. Once it has been set at any point of a song, when it is pressed again the song starts from that point. It is compatible with Wave files and Midifile but not with Mp3 files. When an Mp3 file is played the key is disabled.
- PFL: Playback in headphones. The PFL is selected automatically taking the corresponding slider to 0.
- []> : Pause.
The directory for selection of files and folders is displayed at the centre of the screen. The functions for the player selected are displayed at the bottom:
- BACK SPIN: Ends reproduction by increasing speed and tone, giving an effect similar to gradually increasing the revs of the record player.
- SYNC: Synchronises the two players. If you are playing a midifile on turntable A and you prepare another Midifile on turntable B, when you press SYNC the second Midifile will start in “downbeat”. If you also add the Time Lock, the second player keeps the BPM speed of the first. When the second file is an audio file, it will start from the beginning of the next measure of the Midifile. If however the first file is an audio file, the instrument cannot read the rhythm of the measure and the TAP window (see below) will open with a virtual pad to start the second song which you can do by tapping the virtual pad 4 times. In this way, by beating 4 taps in time with the first file, the second file will be synchronised with the first.
- TAP: Opens a pad at the centre to synchronise the time with the “tapping” of your fingers
The Tap-Tempo function may be used only with files (Audio and Midi) whose original BPM is known; in the case of midifiles this is always known but in the case of audio files (Wave or Mp3) you must indicate the BPM because the instrument does not read it. The BPM of an Audio file must be indicated in the filename: if, for example, you have a song called "name.mp3" at 120 BPM you should rename it "name@120.mp3". In this way the instrument will have the reference BPM and takes it to the Tap Tempo function.
- FX PAD: This works only with audio files and opens a small box with the following effects: Pitch, Cutoff and Filter Resonance, and finally the tempo. These effects may be regulated with the corresponding sliders on the instrument panel.
These effects may be regulated with the corresponding sliders on the instrument panel.
- RESET: Restores the default conditions of the file, cancelling the modifications made on this page.
- BRAKE: Ends reproduction by suddenly decreasing the speed and tone of the song.
