Descriptions and Functions
1.VIDEO SELECT toggle - Holding this switch in the CROSSFADER position for a second, toggles video selection options between either CROSSFADER activation and MANUAL. When in CROSSFADER mode, the LED above CROSSFAD- ER VIDEO TOGGLE will illuminate blue. This indi- cates that video ouput signal is recieved from the two assigned sources in the crossfader ASSIGN selections. You can alternate between any two of the three source inputs by pushing the crossfad- er either to the far left or far right. As you shift the crossfader in either direction, you will see the respective VIDEO 1, 2, or 3 LEDs above the SOURCE toggles illuminate.
In MANUAL mode, the CROSSFADER VIDEO TOG- GLE LED is not illuminated, indicating that you can manually shift between the VIDEO LEDs by simply pushing the VIDEO SELECT toggle in the MANUAL postion repeatedly to cycle through VIDEO 1 (red LED), 2 (green LED) and 3 (yellow LED).
2.STEREO CHANNEL SOURCE toggle - This switch will toggle between AV, PHONO/LINE and CD sources connected to that channel. As stated above, if you have both a CD+G player and a turn- table connected to the same channel, only that device to which this SOURCE TOGGLE is selected would be audible. Applicable graphics/video sig- nals are output accordingly.
3.SIGNAL light - This light illuminates blue when a signal is recieved to STEREO CHANNEL 1, 2 or
4.GAIN - This knob controls the input level from that channel’s selected source. To increase the GAIN, turn clockwise.
Note: Adjusting this knob is not synonymous to adjusting the channel fader. The gain knob adjusts the input level from the source, while the channel fader adjusts the output level from the source. For best audio results, adjust GAIN until just be- fore distortion is noticeable.
5.VOCAL PARTNER/MULTIPLEX FUNCTION & VOCAL ELMINATOR
VOCAL PARTNER/MULTIPLEX - This feature can alternately remove and activate “guide” or “lead” vocals with compatible Multiplex media.
On this type of media, music and lead vocals are panned hard left and right.
With the first press of this button, the red MULTIPLEX LED is lit, indicating that lead vocals have been re- moved, a feature also known as VOCAL CANCEL. The channel with music only is duplicated so it is heard in both left and right channels. Some backing vocals will remain if there is overlap in the way they are recorded. Pressed two more times, this button will illuminate the yellow LED to indicate VOCAL PARTNER and guide vo- cals will be activated.
VOCAL ELIMINATOR - Press the button until the center, green LED illuminates. With standard record- ings, you will be able to partially remove lead vocals to turn any recording into a Karaoke performance or for remixing possibilities. To return to regular disc playback, press this button until all three LEDs are unlit.
6.DIGITAL KEY CONTROL - Key Control allows you to modify the original key of a track without changing its tempo to match the natural range of your voice. You can raise or lower your source music a total of 11 steps, or half note increments from its “natural” key. To step DOWN or “flat (b)” the key, press the left button. To step UP or “sharp (#)” the key, press the right but- ton. To revert back to the original/natural key press the middle NORMAL button.
Note: Key changes are only cueable when Master cueing.
7.CHANNEL FADER - Each fader raises and lowers the volume of the corresponding STEREO 1, 2 or 3 channel as it is moved up or down.
8.CUE - This monitors the input signal from the mix board to the headphones. Press CUE to hear that chan- nel through the headphones. Note: If you cue more than one channel, those channels will be audible as well.
9.KEY - This assigns DIGITAL KEY CONTROL to the channel. If the button is pressed, DIGITAL KEY CON- TROL will be applied to that channel.
