-TIME REMAINING on the track.

For MP3(s) the TIME (25) button switches the time display between the

2 available choices listed under LCD(12):

-MP3 ELAPSED

-MP3 REMAINING

14.LOOP IN: Pressing the LOOP IN (40) button while a track is playing will enter a loop point into the memory, and the LOOP IN's green LED will blink rapidly while memorizing the loop entry point. This is the first step in creating a SEAMLESS LOOP.

15.LOOP OUT: After a loop entry point is memorized, pressing LOOP OUT (41) in play mode will complete the loop with an exit point. This will repeat the section between the loop's entry point, programmed with the pressing of the LOOP IN (40) button, and a second exit loop point, when the LOOP OUT (41) button is pressed. Press LOOP OUT (41) again to stop the loop from repeating and continue play from the point where the loop ends.

16.RELOOP: Press the RELOOP (42) for the unit to return to the previ- ously set loop. Press the RELOOP (42) repeatedly for stuttering the loop entry point. The RELOOP (42) function automatically returns the music to the loop point and will play the loop until it is released with the LOOP OUT (41) button.

17.B-EDIT: Use the B-EDIT(43) button to edit the SEAMLESS LOOP. This feature allows you to adjust the exit point saved in your LOOP OUT

(41)setting. (See Seamless Loop).

18.PITCH: Pressing the PITCH (19) buttons enable you to select pitch levels ranging from 4%, 8%, 16%, & 100%. Press the 2 buttons labeled PITCH OFF (4% & 16%) together to turn OFF the PITCH CONTROL SLIDE (21). Press all 3 buttons to select the 100% pitch setting.

19.PITCH BEND: Pushing the PITCH BEND (20) buttons will automati- cally raise the pitch up to +4% or lower the pitch down to -4%from the existing pitch setting. Releasing the PITCH BEND (20) buttons will return the pitch to the original pitch setting. You can use the PITCH BEND (20) to match beats when mixing from one song to another.

20.PITCH CONTROL SLIDE: Moving the PITCH CONTROL SLIDE (21) up or down will lower or raise the pitch percentage up to the selected PITCH (19) setting.

21.DIRECT SELECT: Use the DIRECT SELECT (14) section to access a track directly without scrolling through to find it or to create a pro- grammed set list (see PROGRAM).

With CD(s) you may key in the specific track you would like to play, in order to instantly scan through the track list to the selected track.

With MP3 you may key in the specific track you would like to play, by keying in the track number & then press SET in order to instantly scan through the track list to the selected track.

22.DSP EFFECTS: The MPX-30 comes equipped with 8 Digital Signal Processor (DSP) Effects. FILTER, ZOOM, ECHO, PAN, REVERSE, TRANSFORM, BRAKE and SCRATCH, are all DSP effects that can be futher modified by the DRY/WET (28), START (30), and BRAKE (31) rotary control knobs. See respective functions for more information:

23.ECHO: ECHO (34) is when the original signal is delayed when being input and then fed back into the signal creating the Echo effect. The length of the echo increases or decreases when increasing or decreas- ing the parameter setting.

24.PAN: PAN (35) simply pans the sound from the left and to the right. It will speed up or slow down as you increase or decrease the parameter setting.

25.TRANSFORM: TRANSFORM (37) simply cuts the sound from the left and right stereo levels. It will speed up or slow down as you increase or decrease the parameter setting.

26.ZOOM: Mixing the signal with a slightly delayed copy of itself, where the length of the delay is constantly changed, creates ZOOMING. This resembles the sound of a plane taking off and landing. The depth of the ZOOM (33) will increase or decrease with the parameter modification.

27.BRAKE: The BRAKE (38) button simulates the sound of a record stopping/starting on a turntable. The higher or lower the parameter the longer or shorter it takes for the record to stop.

28.FILTER: The FILTER (32) goes through three passes during parame- ter adjustment:

-Low Pass filters out the other frequencies except the low frequency. With a lower parameter you will hear it more.

-High Pass filters out the other frequencies except the high frequency. With a higher parameter you will hear it more.

-Band Pass filters out the other frequencies except the mid-range fre- quency. With the parameter setting in the middle you will hear it more.

29.REVERSE: The REVERSE (36) button simply plays the track in

REVERSE.

30.SCRATCH: SCRATCH (39) will simulate scratching with a record on a turntable. Use the JOG WHEEL (23) with this feature to create precise cuts and scratches.

31.MEMO: The MEMO (15) button allows you to begin storing your CUE POINT(S) (16) and SAMPLE(S) (18).

32.SAMPLER: Use the SAMPLE (18) button(s) to play a section of a track, stored in sample memory, over the track playing to provide an extra layer to your mix. You may store 4 samples in the SAMPLE (18) button(s). Once a sample is stored the respective LED will remain lit indicating that the sample is ready to be used at the press of the but- ton(s).

33.CUE POINTS: There are 5 CUE POINT(S) (16) that may be created on the fly. You may create an entry point in a track from which you will begin play instantly. By pressing the CUE POINT(S) (16) you may jump to different sections of a song or a CD without any breaks. This feature helps you eliminate pauses involved in track search and/or play various points of a song to shorten or enhance a mix.

34.CUE: The CUE (7) button is used to store the exact moment at which a track will begin playing. Use the CUE (7) button to aid in program mix- ing.

35.HOT START: The HOT START (17) button is used for instant play at the master CUE (7) point. Once a CUE (7) point has been stored and set to play, press HOT START (17) for instant play. SEE CUE instruc- tion for more info.

36.BPM: Use the BPM (27) button to count the beats per minute on a track. This feature will allow you to beat match faster and easier. Press the BPM (27) button once to activate the BPM (27); the LCD (12) will show the BPM icon and tempo info. Press the button again to deactivate the BPM (27), the LCD (12) will hide the BPM icon and not show the tempo info.

37.DRY/WET: Use the DRY/WET (28) rotary control to adjust the volume of the effects entered into the program output via the DSP effects but- tons. Turn the rotary control clockwise for WET effects. The WET effect occurs when the music is drowned out with effects. Turn the rotary con- trol counterclockwise for DRY effects, a lower volume for effects. The DRY effect occurs when the music will be heard clearly over the effect.

38.DIMMER: Use the DIMMER (29) rotary control to adjust the brightness of the LCD (12). Turn the rotary control clockwise to brighten the LCD (12). Turn the rotary control counterclockwise to dim the LCD (12).

39.START: Use the START (30) rotary control in conjunction with the BRAKE (38) button and PLAY/PAUSE (8) button to adjust the delay time in starting a track.

40.BRAKE: Use the BRAKE (31) rotary control in conjunction with the BRAKE (38) button and PLAY/PAUSE (8) button to adjust the delay time in stopping a track.

OPERATIONS:

1.Place a MP3/CD in the DISC IN SLOT (10) and push it in so the unit accepts the MP3/CD. The disc will enter into the unit and begin to read.

2.Adjust the FOLDER/TRACK SKIP(13) rotary control or press the track number in the DIRECT SELECT (14) section to select the track you want to play for regular CD(s). For MP3 CD(s), key in the DIRECT SELECT (14) could be used to find the track or push the FOLDER/TRACK SKIP (13) rotary control or to find the folder and turn the control to find the track inside the folder.

3.Press the PLAY/PAUSE (8) button and the unit will instantly play.

ORDER OF READING FOR MP3 FILES:

All MP3 files must have the extension *.mp3 or .mpeg2. (See w.wna and r.jpg files in the diagram).MPX-30supports ISO 9660 standard, which means it will read files in subdirectories down to 8th level. CBR & VBR formats are supported. The MPX-30reads the Root folder files first, then main folder files second, then sub folder files, all other files will not be read.
