13.Jog Wheel:

Cue Function: As explained under “CUE”, when the music is paused and you rotate the wheel, music will sound. By pressing play a new cue point is set.

Search Function: As explained under “SEARCH KNOB”, when search is pressed and you rotate the wheel, the music will rapidly scan the music to find a cue point.

Pitch Bend Function: allows the user to temporarily change the speed of the music to align beats. When the beats of the music of the CD you wish to match are fast compared to the tempo of the other music, rotate the jog wheel counter clockwise (to the left). When the CD is behind, rotate the jog wheel clockwise (to the right). The pitch changes temporarily while the jog wheel is rotated. The faster you rotate the wheel the more pitch is changed. Releasing the wheel results in a return to the original pitch.

Effect Function: When an effect button is pressed, this wheel can alter the sound of the effect.

14.Pitch Range: actives the pitch slider and adjusts the amount of control the pitch slider has on the overall speed of music. Tapping the pitch will toggle slider between 8% and 16% pitch ranges. Holding the pitch for 3 seconds will deactivate the pitch control.

15.Pitch Bend Buttons: Allows the user to temporarily change the speed of the music to align beats. When the beats of the music of the CD you wish to match are fast compared to the tempo of the other music press the (-). When the CD is behind press the (+). The pitch changes temporarily while the (+) or (-) button is being pressed. The longer you hold the buttons the more pitch is changed. Releasing the buttons results in a return to the original pitch.

16.Pitch Range LEDs: indicate current pitch range. When both LEDs are off, the pitch slider is not active

17.Pitch Slider: By moving the slider in the (+) direction the speed of the music permanently speeds up. By moving the slider in the (-) direction the speed of the music permanently slows down. To match the speeds of two CDs you can adjust the pitch. When the tempo of the music of the CD you wish to match is slow compared to the tempo of the other music, move the slider to the (+) side and match the speed. When faster, move the pitch slider to the (-) side. By making this adjustment, the speeds will be matched, though the beats may not yet be aligned.

18.BPM: Switches the numeric display between pitch and BPM.

19.TAP: Tapping this button with the beat of the music indicates the current Beats Per Minute (BPM) in the display. The unit will average your taps to determine the BPM so multiple taps are recommended.

20.Relay – Pressing this button will cause the sides of the unit to alternate play as one stops and the other starts. If the players are set to single play mode then relay will alternate after each track. If the players are set to continuous it will relay after the entire CD is played.

21.Scratch- This effect makes it possible for the wheel to scratch the music while it is playing. If you move the wheel back and forth the music will stop and play slowly as the wheel is moved similar to scratching a record. When the wheel stops moving the music will continue onward. You can also push the wheel forward and the unit will automatically play as it slows. This effect can be left on to allow scratch style cueing of your music.

22.Reverse- This actually plays the music backwards. When the effect is activated the music will play backwards until it is released.

23.Filter- This filter lets you play different frequencies of the music. Rotation of the wheel moves the frequency played through the audio spectrum. If you turn off the effect then on again it remembers the last set parameter.

24.CD Drawer: Place your CDs you wish to play in here. This unit is designed to play commercially available CD and properly burned and finalized CDR formats. Due to variances on the specification of certain CD burners and CDs some home made CDs may not play properly.

25.Power Switch: Turn on and turn off the machine with this button. The unit should always be shut down with this button first before any external power is removed.
