CONTROLS AND FUNCTIONS

MAIN UNIT - FRONT:

1. Power (Power ON/OFF switch): When the power switch is pressed, the power turns on and the blue led is lit.
2. Disc tray: Use the OPEN/CLOSE buttons to open disc tray and put the CD in place.
3. OPEN/CLOSE button: press this button to open and close the disc tray. These buttons are disabled during playback. If the tray is not closed after 60sec. It will close automatically to prevent damage.

MAIN UNIT - REAR:

1. Control connector: use the supplied mini-DIN cable to connect this output to the control unit.
2. Audio outputs: Output for the audio signals from each player. Use the supplied cinch/cinch cables to connect these outputs to the CD/line inputs of your mixing unit.
3. Digital out socket: Use this connector to connect the digital signal (S/PDIF format) to the input of a digital amplifier or digital recorder (ex. Mini disc)
4. Mains input: connect the CD player to the 230V AC mains, using the supplied power-cord.

CONTROL UNIT - FRONT:

1. SEARCH WHEEL (OUTER RING): This wheel has 4 forward and 4 backward speed positions for searching through songs. The more you turn the wheel in either direction the faster you will search through the music.

2. JOG WHEEL (INNER RING): This jog wheel serves 3 functions depending on the mode you are working in.

3. The jog wheel acts as a slow frame search (1/75sec) control when the CD is not playing but either paused or set to a cue point. To set a new cue point, spin the wheel then press PLAY or LOOP IN when you have determined the proper position. Press CUE to return to the "CUE POINT".

4. If the track is playing, the jog wheel temporarily bends the pitch of the music up to +/-10% by rotating the wheel clockwise to speed it up or counterclockwise to slow it down. The amount of pitch change is determined by the speed of rotation.

5. When the loop cut/extend function is selected, every tick in counterclockwise direction cuts the loop in half. Every tick in clockwise direction doubles the loop length.

6. R.CUE/LOOP IN button: Allows you to set the cue point without stopping the playback (CUE ON THE FLY). This button also sets the beginning of a seamless loop. When you play one of the hot cues, the starting point is also copied to this button.

7. CUE button: Pressing the CUE button during play provides an immediate return to the position at which play was started. Playback starts immediately from the programmed cue point for as long as the CUE button is pressed. The CD player jumps back to the cue point as soon as the CUE button is released. Also with the unit in pause mode (Play/Pause LED blinks) the search and/or jog wheel is used to set a different start point. By pressing "PLAY/PAUSE" button then "CUE", you can confirm this new cue point. The CUE LED lights up as long as the cue button is pressed until the CD has returned to the position where playback was started.

8. OUT/EXIT button: Used to set the endpoint when looping music. The player starts to loop seamlessly until you press this button again to exit. When a loop is programmed but not active you can also restart the loop. The point where you press the button will be memorized as the new end point of the loop. In loop edit mode pressing the OUT/EXIT button stops the loop editing and saves the new loop endpoint.

9. PLAY/PAUSE button: every time you press the PLAY/PAUSE button the CD player changes from play to pause or from pause to play. The button blinks as long as the player is set to pause.

10. RELOOP/STUTTER button: This button has 3 functions:

11. RELOOP: When a loop was programmed and you have hit the OUT/EXIT button, press the reloop button to enter the loop again. To exit the loop press the OUT/EXIT button. (intro and end points of the loop are unchanged)

12. STUTTER: When a loop is playing you can press this button to restart the loop at once. You can also press this button when a track is not playing in loop. Every time the RELOOP/STUTTER button is pressed, it will restart the music from the preprogrammed cue point. The stutter effect adds extra creativity to your performance.

13. ENTER EDIT LOOP MODE: When a loop is programmed (LOOP IN and OUT/EXIT buttons are on) you can enter loop edit mode by pressing the RELOOP/STUTTER button until the display shows "Loop Edit".

14. HOT CUE buttons: 4 programmable buttons where you can store ordinary cue points and/or loops. When a normal cue point is stored, the corresponding button is green, when a loop is stored the corresponding button blinks. All stored cue points and loops can be backed up to permanent memory for future use. This feature is called "PCMS Permanent Cue Memory System". Check the next chapter for more information on how to program cue points etc.

15. PITCH BEND buttons: The speed rises while the "+" button" is pressed and returns to the original pitch when the button is released. The speed drops when the " - button" is pressed and returns to the original pitch when the button is released. These buttons can be used to synchronize the beats of 2 tracks. They are also used to confirm (or not) the questions that are sometimes shown on the display.
16. SPEED slider: Press the SPEED button, so it is lit. The speed can be changed up to +/-100% by moving the fader. The speed will not change if the SPEED button is off. You can change the pitch range with the %-button.
17. TIME Button: The TIME button switches between elapsed playing time, remaining time in a selection and total remaining time of the disc. (standard = remaining /track) The "total remaining time of the disc" is not available on MP3 CDs.
18. OPEN/CLOSE Button: Press to load or eject the disc. Each press will open or close the disc tray on the transport.

NOTE: The tray will not open when the disc is playing, first press the PLAY/PAUSE button.

1. SGL/CTN: You can choose between "single track mode" and "continuous play".

2. Continuous play: the complete CD will be played without interruption. (mostly used in pubs)

3. Single track: player stops at the end of each track and waits at the beginning of the next track. (mostly used by deejays)

Push the SGL/CNT button for more than 1 second to switch between normal and "auto cue" mode. In "auto cue" mode the player waits at the first music note of each track. This means that badly indexed CDs will not interfere with the instant start capabilities of this CD player. This is a very useful feature for deejays!

1. VFD DISPLAY: Shows all important information needed during playback. Refer to the next chapter for more information.

2. TRACK/FOLDER SELECTOR: This multifunctional rotary switch is used together with the FOLDER button to select the desired tracks and folders:

3. TRACK MODE: Switch the FOLDER button off (button not lit) to enter track mode: even if your CD contains sub folders (directories) the CDX-2 will pretend as if these folders don't exist.

4. Select tracks: Turn the rotary switch to select the desired tracks. Push the rotary switch while turning to skip 10 tracks at once.

5. Show information with MP3 files: If the MP3 tracks contain ID3tags, push the rotary switch 1x to show the title name. Push the rotary switch 2x successively to show the artist name.

6. Show information with audio CDs: If the audio CD contains CD-TEXT, push the rotary switch 1x to show the album title.

7. FOLDER MODE: Switch the FOLDER button on (button is lit) to enter folder mode: if the CD contains sub folders you will be able to select these sub folders.

8. Select folders: Push the rotary switch while turning to select the desired subfolder.

9. Select tracks: Once you have selected the desired folder, just turn the rotary switch (without pushing) to select the desired tracks. When you arrive at the end of the selected folder, your search starts again from the first track in the selected folder.

10. Show information with MP3 files: If the MP3 tracks contain ID3tags, push the rotary switch 1x to show the folder name. Push the rotary switch 2x successively to show the title name. Push the rotary switch 3x successively to show the artist name.

11. FOLDER Button: This button is used to toggle between FOLDER and TRACK mode.

12. AUTO LOOP Button: This button is used for 2 different functions:

13. Loop is NOT playing: When no loop is playing you can easily create an automatic 4-Beat loop by pressing this button. See next chapter for more information.

14. Loop is playing: When a loop is playing you can enter loop cut/extend mode by pressing this button. See next chapter for more information.

15. TAP button: The CDX-2 has a full automatic BPM-counter. In some rare cases the automatic beat counter doesn't count as it should do (beats are out of the normal range or there's simply no beat to detect). In these cases you can help the beat counter by manually tapping this button to the rhythm of the beat. You can switch back to the automatic beat counter by pressing the TAP button until the "AUTOBPM" in the right upper corner of the display turns on.

16. PITCH RANGE % Button: Every time you press this button, you will change the scale of the speed slider. On normal audio CDs you can select +/-4%, +/-8%, +/-16% and +/-100%. The +/-100% option is not available on MP3 CDs.

17. PITCH LOCK Button: (Master tempo) activates the Pitch Lock function. This function allows you to make adjustments to a tracks speed using the pitch control without altering its tonal pitch. This button turns blue when the Pitch Lock is on.
18. SPEED button: This button is used to turn the speed function on and off.
19. RELAY button: When you switch the Relay function on, alternately a track will be played from both CDs until the relay function is disengaged. You can always put a new CD in the player that is waiting in standby mode. In this way you can create an endless program. Perfect for use in pubs etc.
20. MEMO Button: is used to store cue points and loops to the Hot Cue buttons. Press this button before one of the HOT CUE buttons to memorize a cue point or loop. Press this button together with the SAVE TRACK button to enter "delete mode". Check the next chapter for more information on how to use this button.
21. SAVE TRACK button: Used to save the contents of the 4 HOT CUE buttons to permanent cue memory. Press this button together with the MEMO button to enter "delete mode".

1. FADER START Sockets: If you are using a mixer with fader start function, connect the player with the fader start of the mixer. Please note that these sockets must never be connected with any voltage.

Attention: This remote control is only compatible with certain (Synq® or Pioneer® compatible) mixers.

1. CONTROL CONNECTOR: Connect the main unit here, using the supplied mini-DIN cable.

VFD DISPLAY:

1. PLAY: appears while the unit is playing a CD.
2. PAUSE: appears while the player is in pause or cue mode.

3. CUE: appears when the master cue point is programmed.

4. ELAPSED, TOTAL REMAIN: indicates that the time shown on the display is the track elapsed, remaining or total remaining time.

5. ALPHANUMERIC DISPLAY: Shows the names of folders and MP3 tracks. For MP3 tracks recorded in CBR also the bit rate is shown. For VBR recorded MP3 tracks the display only shows "VBR". For Audio CD's CD-TEXT information will be shown when it's available on the CD, otherwise the display shows "no CD-TEXT". All kinds of other interactive information is also shown.

6. TIME BAR: has 2 functions:

7. During normal playback: shows either time remaining or elapsed depending on the setting of the TIME button. Starts flashing at the end of each track to alert the user to take action.

8. During loop playback: shows the time remaining until the end of the loop. This visual aid helps you to see where and when the seamless loop starts again.

9. BPM DISPLAY: the automatic beat counter shows the number of Beats Per Minute on the display. In manual mode the display shows "BPM". In automatic mode the display shows "AUTOBPM". (press the TAP button for 2 seconds to switch to automatic mode)

HOW TO USE ...

Most of the common functions are explained in the previous chapter "controls and functions" In this chapter we talk about the functions that need a little more explanation.

SOME GENERAL FUNCTIONS:

- SLEEP MODE:

The CD player automatically shuts off the transport and laser after about 15 minutes (when in pause or cue mode). This extends the life of your motor drive and laser. During sleep mode the display shows the word "SLEEP". To wake up the player, just press the cue or play button, the display turns to normal and is ready to receive instructions.

RELAY FUNCTION:

First open the 2 faders of the CD inputs on your mixer. Press the RELAY button to enable the relay function, the relay LED turns on. Put a disc in both players and start playback on one of the units. Alternately a track will be played from both units until the relay function is disengaged. You can always put a new CD in the player that is waiting in pause. In this way you can create an endless program, perfect for use in pubs etc. NOTE: by switching on the relay function you automatically put both players in single mode.

- PITCH BENDING:

This function is used to put the beats of two tracks in perfect "synq" (⑨). This can be done in two ways:

• PITCH BEND buttons: The speed increases or decreases respectively as long as the PITCH BEND+ or PITCH BEND- button is pressed.
• JOG WHEEL: During play mode the JOG WHEEL will temporarily bend the pitch of the music by turning the JOG WHEEL clockwise to speed up or counterclockwise to slowdown. The rotation speed the JOG WHEEL determines the percent of pitch bend.

- CD-TEXT:

Not only MP3 files can show the track name on the display. Some normal audio CDs use CD-TEXT to show the track names. Also some CDR burning software (ex. Nero) can add CD-TEXT to a normal audio CD. When the CDX-2 detects these CD-TEXT data, the display will show them automatically. When no CD-TEXT is available the display shows "no CD-TEXT".

- PLAYING MP3 FILES:

The CD player automatically detects if a CD contains MP3 files. The CDX-2 is able to read several different MP3 formats. The display shows some of the ID3-tags (song title / performer / folder name / bitrate). The CD may contain up to 999 MP3- files, spread over maximum 255 folders.

The MP3-files may have the following file extensions: .mp3 ~ .MP3 ~ .mP3 ~ .Mp3 Check the technical specifications to see which MP3-files are allowed.

- PLAYING/RECORDING CD-R and CD-RW:

Apart from normal audio CD's the CDX-2 can play both CD-R (CD recordable) and CD-RW (CD rewriteable). Please note that you should always use the "disc at once" and "track at once" disc writing options! Although the CDX-2 is capable of reading CD-R and CD-RW recorded at higher speeds, we suggest not using recording speeds more than x12 to increase readability. Always buy good quality brands for CD-R and CD-RW!

If the disc is multi session, it will only play the first session:

• if the first session is CD-DA you can only play CD-DA tracks.
• if the first session is MP3 you can only play MP3 files.

ABOUT LOOPS:

- CREATE AN AUTO LOOP:

Make sure the automatic beat counter is active and its readout is stable. Press the AUTOLOOP button at the right moment. The CDX-2 automatically calculates the endpoint of the loop and starts playing the 4Beat loop instantly.

NOTE: This function only works well when the music contains continuous and steady beats.

- CREATE A LOOP:

While a track is playing, press R.CUE/LOOP IN button to program the starting point of the loop. Now press the OUT/EXIT button to program the endpoint of the loop. The seamless loop starts playing at once. (With some practice you will be able to create perfect loops!) While the loop is playing, you can press the OUT/EXIT button again to exit the loop and continue the rest of the track.

It is possible to program a new loop, even when the current loop is still playing. While the loop is playing, simply press the R.CUE/LOOP IN button to set the starting point of the new loop. Now enter the endpoint by pressing the OUT/EXIT button. Your new loop is programmed and playing.

- RESTART A LOOP:

This can be done in 3 ways:

• When a loop is programmed and you left it by pressing the OUT/EXIT button, just press RELOOP to restart the loop.
• When a loop is programmed and you left it by pressing the OUT/EXIT button, just press OUT/EXIT again to restart the loop. The point where you pressed OUT/EXIT is now programmed as the new endpoint of the loop.
• When the loop is still playing, press the RELOOP button to restart the loop immediately. You can repeat this several times to create a "Stutter" effect.

- EDIT A LOOP:

When a loop is programmed, press the RELOOP/STUTTER button for about 2 seconds to enter "loop edit" mode. While the loop is seamlessly playing, the alphanumeric display shows the time information of the loop endpoint. Use the jog wheel to set the new loop endpoint. To make things very easy you can hear your modifications to the loop endpoint continuously. When the loop is perfect, press the LOOP OUT button to save the new loop endpoint.

- CUT/EXTEND LOOP FUNCTION:

When a loop is playing you can press the AUTO LOOP button to start the "cut/extend function", the display shows "1/1 Loop" (original loop).

• CUT FUNCTION: turn the jog dial one click in counterclockwise direction to cut the loop in half (display shows "1/2 Loop"). With every extra click in counterclockwise direction the loop is cut in half until you reach "1/256 Loop". You will notice a "*" character on the left side of the display appearing and disappearing. This is a visual aid that tells you when it is safe to cut the loop in half without a "false" skip in the loop: when it is safe to cut the loop, the "..." appears. When the "..." is not visible, you will risk a false skip in the loop while cutting.
• EXTEND FUNCTION: turn the jog dial one click in clockwise direction to double the loop length by 2 (display shows "2/1 Loop"). With every extra click in clockwise direction the loop is doubled until you reach "32/1 Loop". You will notice a "*" character on the left side of the display appearing and disappearing. This is a visual aid that tells you when it is safe to turn the extend function off or to cut the loop in half without a "false" skip in the loop: when it is safe to stop the extend function or to cut the loop, the "..." appears. When the "..." is not visible, you will risk a false skip in the loop while cutting.

ABOUT MEMORY:

DIFFERENT MEMORIES:

Before we talk about using the memory, we have to know the difference between "track memory" and "permanent memory":

• Track Memory: This is the memory where the CDX-2 stores a set of up to four cue points and/or loops for one track. You can set up a "track memory" for every single track on a CD.

Example: your CD contains 16 tracks for every track you can store up to 4 cue points and/or loops. This makes a total of 14 × 4 = 64 cue points and/or loops on one CD!

• Permanent Memory: This is the large memory where all the cue points and loops are permanently stored. In fact it's an indexed collection of "track memories". When you recall previously stored cue points of a certain track, you make a transfer from "permanent memory" to "track memory".

USING THE "TRACK MEMORY":

STORING A MASTER CUE POINT:

There are 2 ways to set a master cue point:

• Press the R.CUE/LOOP IN button during normal playback to set the new cue point ("CUE on the fly").
• Put the player in pause and use the jog/shuttle wheel to search for the exact location for the cue point. Once this location is found, press R.CUE/LOOP IN button to set the new cue point. (or press PLAY/PAUSE button)

Once the cue point is programmed, just press the CUE button to recall it.

- STORING A SIMPLE CUE POINT TO THE "HOT CUE" BUTTONS:

First press the MEMO button to make the unit enter hot cue memory mode (MEMO button is on).

• Press one of the four HOT Cue buttons at the right moment during normal playback: the HOT Cue button you just pressed turns on to indicate that the desired cue point is stored. ("Cue on the fly").
• Put the player in pause and use the jog/shuttle wheel to search for the exact location for the cue point. Once this location is found, press one of the four HOT CUE buttons to set the new cue point: the HOT CUE button you just pressed turns on to indicate that the desired cue point is stored.

Once the cue point is programmed, just press the HOT CUE button to start playback from the stored cue point.

- STORING A LOOP TO THE "HOT CUE" BUTTONS:

This is very similar to storing a simple cue point. The only difference is that you have to put the CDX-2 in loop mode first. When the loop is playing, you press the MEMO button to make the CD-player enter hot cue memory mode (MEMO button is on). After this press one of the four HOT CUE buttons: the HOT CUE button you just pressed starts blinking to indicate that the loop, playing at that moment, is stored. You can store up to 4 loops per track!

- DELETE THE "HOT CUE" BUTTONS:

You can easily delete the contents of a HOT CUE button by simply storing a new cue point or loop to it. You can also erase all four HOT CUE buttons together by pushing the MEMO button for more than 2 seconds. You will notice that all 4 HOT CUE buttons turn dark to indicate that the HOT CUE buttons are empty.

USING THE "PERMANENT MEMORY":

For security reasons the cue points and loops stored in the HOT CUE buttons are not automatically stored to the permanent memory. This means that if you recall a set of cue points and loops from permanent memory to the HOT CUE buttons (which is track memory), you can change, edit and delete them as much as you want. The permanent memory will not be affected until you make a backup of the HOT CUE buttons to permanent memory.

STORING TO "PERMANENT MEMORY":

Press the SAVE TRACK button. The display shows "Now saving" to indicate that the cue points and loops in the HOT CUE buttons for that track are stored to permanent memory.

- DELETE A TRACK IN "PERMANENT MEMORY":

Select the track that you want to delete. First press the MEMO button and then the SAVE TRACK button. The display asks "Del Track?" if you press the YES button (PITCH BEND+ button), the track information will be deleted in the permanent memory.

NOTE: If, previous to deleting, you loaded the cue points and loops of the track, you can still recover the accidentally deleted track information: simply press the SAVE TRACK button.

- DELETE ALL TRACK INFORMATION OF A CD IN “PERMANENT MEMORY”:

Put the CD you want to delete in the player. First press the MEMO button and then the SAVE TRACK button twice. The display asks "Del CD?" if you press the YES button (PITCH BEND+ button), all track information for that CD will be deleted in the permanent memory.

ATTENTION: To be used with care! All the track information for that CD is permanently lost!

- DELETE THE COMPLETE "PERMANENT MEMORY":

Press the MEMO button on 1 of the players while turning on the CDX-2. The display asks "Del All?" if you press the YES button (PITCH BEND+ button), the entire permanent memory will be erased.

ATTENTION: To be used with care! The complete internal memory is permanently lost!

- RECALLING “HOT CUE POINTS/LOOPS” FROM PERMANENT MEMORY:

Permanent cue points are stored on track level, not on CD level. This makes it possible to store more than just 4 cue points on a CD but 4 cue points and loops for every track on the CD. Because it takes some seconds to load the permanent cue points, they are not automatically restored. Sometimes you simply don't need them so why would you wait for them? Below we explain how everything works:

• No cue points stored: When you select a track on a CD that has no cue points or loops stored in permanent memory, nothing happens: you can start playback right away.

• Cue points stored: When you select a track on a CD where cue points or loops are stored in permanent memory, the CDX-2 shows "Load Cues?" and wants to know if you want to load the cue points. This is what you can do:

• You press the YES button: Press yes (pitch bend + button) to load the pre-stored cue points and loops. The display shows "Loading Cue Points" while the Hot cue buttons are filled up.

• You press the NO button: the cue points are not loaded and the display becomes normal. You can start playback right away.
• You press the PLAYBACK button: This is the same as pressing NO but you save time.
• You do nothing: after some seconds the display becomes automatically normal and of course the cue points are not loaded.
