BPM COUNTING

Automatic Mode BPM Counting

This function automatically counts the track’s speed in BPM (Beats Per Minute), displaying the results as a numerical value. The functions does not merely count the bass beat, but uses a computer to calculate the track’s original BPM required by the DJ. The display provides a visual standard in addition to the human ear, thus allowing the DJ to quickly match two tracks possessing differing speeds.

When auto mode is used to count BPM, the calculated BPM value is displayed on the LCD panel, allowing quick matching of tracks with differing speeds. (Counting range: 70.0 to 180.0 BPM)

The display flashes during BPM counting.

*Some tracks may not be counted properly, in which case manual count should be used.
