—[]: Set here for a curve that rises gradually.

—[]: Set here for a curve that rises steeply. (When the crossfader moves away from either the left or right edge, the sound is imme- diately output from the opposite side.)

5 Set the crossfader.

Switch the channel whose sound is output from the speakers.

—Left edge: The [CH 1] sound is output.

—Center position: The sound of [CH 1] and [CH 2] is mixed and output.

—Right edge: The [CH 2] sound is output.

!This operation is not necessary when the [CROSS F. CURVE (THRU,

,)] selector switch is set to [THRU].

6 Turn the [MASTER LEVEL] control clockwise.

Sound is output from the speakers. The [LEVEL] indicator lights.

Adjust the [MASTER LEVEL] control so that the orange indicator lights where the track’s volume is highest (at the climax, etc.).

Be careful that the red indicator does not light, or the sound could be distorted.

Mixing using the faders

Prepare the unit in advance so that the sound of [CH 1] is being output from the speakers. For instructions on preparation, see Outputting sound on page 22.

For instructions on monitoring the sound, see Monitoring sound with headphones on page 19.

Mixing using the channel faders

1Set [CROSS F. CURVE THRU, ,] (the crossfader curve selection switch) to [THRU].

2Switch the [DECK 2, PHONO2/LINE2] selector switch in the [CH 2] section.

3Turn the [TRIM] control in the [CH 2] section clockwise.

4Press the [ (CH2)] button.

The sound of [CH 2] is monitored from the headphones.

5 Turn the [HEADPHONES MIXING] control.

This adjusts the balance of the monitor volume between the sound output from the [MASTER OUT 1] and [MASTER OUT 2] terminals (the sound of [CH 1]) and the sound of [CH 2].

6 Operate [DECK 2].

While checking the sound over the headphones, adjust the tempo of [CH 2] track to match the tempo of [CH 1] track.

7While moving the [CH 2] channel fader to the back, move the [CH 1] channel fader to the front.

While checking the sound output from the speakers, operate the channel faders to substitute the sound of [CH 1] with the sound of [CH 2]. Mixing is completed once only the [CH 2] sound is being output from the speakers.

Mixing is completed once only the [CH 2] sound is being output from the speakers.

Using the QUANTIZE function

This function can be used to play auto beat loops, apply beat effects, etc., in tempo with the currently playing track based on the track’s GRID information as analyzed with rekordbox.

!Music files must be analyzed ahead of time with rekordbox in order to use the QUANTIZE function. For instructions on analyzing music files with rekordbox, see the rekordbox Operating Instructions.

Press the [TIME (AUTO CUE, QUANTIZE)] button while pressing the [SHIFT] button.

The QUANTIZE function turns on.

When the QUANTIZE function is turned on, the points are automatically set to the nearest beat position when auto beat loops, beat effects, cues or hot cues are set.

Furthermore, the auto beat loop, beat effect, hot cue and other functions can be used without breaking the beat.

!When the [TIME (AUTO CUE, QUANTIZE)] button is pressed again while pressing the [SHIFT] button, the QUANTIZE function turns off.

Using the SYNC function

This function can be used to automatically synchronize the tempo (BPM) and beat positions on the left and right decks based on the tracks’ GRID information as analyzed with rekordbox.

!Music files must be analyzed ahead of time with rekordbox in order to use the SYNC function. For instructions on analyzing music files with rekordbox, see the rekordbox Operating Instructions.

!The following describes the procedure for synchronizing the [DECK 2] track to the [DECK 1] track.

1Play a track that has been analyzed with rekordbox on [DECK 1].

The deck on which a track that has been analyzed with rekordbox is played first is set as the MASTER for the SYNC function.

!The master can also be specified by pressing the [MASTER] button.

2Play a track that has been analyzed with rekordbox on [DECK 2].

3Press the [SYNC] button for [DECK 2].

[DECK 2] is synchronized to the tempo (BPM) and beat positions of the track playing on [DECK 1].

!When the [SYNC] button is pressed again, the SYNC function turns off.

!Use the procedure below to restore the currently playing track’s tempo (BPM) to its original tempo after turning the SYNC function off.

—First move the [TEMPO] slider to the position to which the tempo (BPM) was synchronized (the [TEMPO] indicator turns off), then move it back to the center position.

—Reload the same track.

!Depending on the track’s beat information, the sound may not be synchronized after the [SYNC] button is pressed. If this happens, the sound can be re-synchronized by pressing the [SYNC] button to turn the sync mode off then back on.

Operation

Mixing using the crossfader

1Set [CROSS F. CURVE THRU, ,] (the crossfader curve selector switch) to [] or [].

2Operate [CH 2].

Perform steps 2 to 6 at Mixing using the channel faders above.

3 Move the crossfader gradually to the right.

While checking the sound output from the speakers, operate the cross- fader to substitute the sound of [CH 1] with the sound of [CH 2].
