20.SEARCH buttons: used to search quickly inside a track.

1. 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.
2. CUE button: Pressing the CUE button during playback 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 button blinks) the jog wheel is used to set a different start point. By pressing "PLAY/PAUSE" or "LOOP IN" button followed by "CUE", you can confirm this new cue point.

1. CUE PLAY button: playback starts immediately from the current cue point (same as pressing the RELOOP button (35)

2. TACTILE JOG-WHEEL: The jog-wheel on this player has 3 parts:

3. Tactile center part: to match the vinyl feel as close as possible and largely improve scratch performance, the central part of the jog-wheel uses a patented touch-sensitive technology. With the WHEEL MODE button (25) you can change the behavior of this central part. Check the description of the WHEEL MODE button (25) for more information.

4. Outer ring: silver colored part of the jog wheel which is not touch sensitive. Regardless of the selected wheel mode the outer ring can be always be used for pitch bending, except while using one of the digital effects.

5. Jog-indicator: this blue light runs at playback speed to indicate the exact player position, very helpful while scratching or setting a new cue point. Please refer to chapter "SETUP MENU" if you want to change the look of the jog-indicator.

6. WHEEL MODE button: toggles between 3 different modes for the tactile jog-wheel. The tactile center part and outer ring behave differently:

7. VINYL-mode: used for extremely realistic scratching of any CD or MP3 file.

8. Tactile center part: During playback, the music stops immediately when you touch the jogwheel: playback speed and direction are now fully controlled by the movements of your hand. In pause mode you can easily set a new cue point.

9. Outer ring: During playback you can use the outer ring for pitch bending to synchronize the beats of 2 tracks. In pause mode you will hear the typical very small loops that give you the possibility to set a cue point with 1frame (1/75seconds) accuracy.

10. CDJ-mode: this is the standard mode, used by most DJ CD-players. Both the tactile center part and the outer ring behave identically. While the track is playing, the jog wheel temporarily bends the pitch of the music up to +/-100% 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. In pause mode you will hear the typical very small loops that give you the possibility to set a cue point with 1frame (1/75seconds) accuracy.

11. A.CUE SCRAMTCH-mode: very similar to VINYL mode but scratching always starts from the actual cue point, the behavior of the outer ring is identical to that of vinyl mode:

12. Tactile center part: During playback, the music stops immediately and returns to the actual cue point each time you touch the jog-wheel: playback speed and direction are now fully controlled by the movements of your hand. In pause mode you can easily set a new cue point but the player first returns to the actual cue point.

13. Outer ring: During playback you can use the outer ring for pitch bending to synchronize the beats of 2 tracks. In pause mode you will hear the typical very small loops that give you the possibility to set a cue point with 1frame (1/75seconds) accuracy.

14. REVERSE PLAY button: press this button to switch reverse playback on and off. Even loops can be played in reverse order.

15. START knob: determines acceleration speed until full playback speed. Speed acceleration can be set gradually between 0,0s (instantly) and 10,0s. Behavior changes with different wheel modes:

16. CDJ-mode: set the acceleration speed after pressing the PLAY/PAUSE button (21): simulates a turntable platter starting with the needle on the record.

17. VINYL & A.CUE SCRATCH mode: set the acceleration speed after a backspin of the JOG-WHEEL (24).

18. BRAKE knob: determines deceleration speed from full playback speed to stop. Speed deceleration can be set gradually between 0,0s (instantly) and 10,0s. Behavior changes with different wheel modes:

19. CDJ-mode: set the deceleration speed after pressing the PLAY/PAUSE button (21): simulates a turntable platter slowing down with the needle on the record.
20. TEMPO RANGE button: press this button to select the different available speed ranges: +/-6% , +/-10% , +/-16% , +/-100% . The lower ranges make the SPEED-fader (30) more precise, the higher ranges are suitable for special effects. To turn the speed function off simply press the button for 1second, until the speed indicators turn off. Press the button again to re-activate speed control.
21. SPEED-fader: used to adjust the playback speed of the playing track. You can turn the speed function on/off or change the range with the TEMPO RANGE-button (29)
22. 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.

1. KEY LOCK Button: (Master tempo) activates the Pitch Lock function. This function allows you to make adjustments to a tracks speed using the SPEED-fader without altering the tonal pitch.

2. LOOP IN button: Allows you to set a new cue point without stopping playback (CUE ON THE FLY). This button also sets the beginning of a seamless loop:

3. Manual loop mode: marks the beginning of the loop, you have to press the LOOP OUT button to mark the end of the loop and start playback in loop mode.

4. Auto loop mode: marks the beginning of the automatic loop, the end point of the loop is set automatically. The length of the loop depends on the loop parameter you selected.

Please refer to the chapter "HOW TO USE" for more information.

1. OUT/EXIT button: Used to set the endpoint when looping music manually. The player starts seamless loop playback 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.

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

3. 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)

4. 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 actual cue point. The stutter effect adds extra creativity to your performance.

5. 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 "OUT EDIT". While in loop edit mode you toggle between "OUT EDIT" and "IN EDIT".

6. AUTO LOOP button: with the autoloop function activated you can make automatic loops, based on the information of the automatic BPM-counter: choose the desired loop length with the LOOP SYNC Buttons (44) and press the LOOP IN button (33) at the right moment. The loop will start playing automatically! For more information on this function, please refer to the chapter "HOW TO USE".

7. 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 turns red. 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 chapter "HOW TO USE" for more information on how to program cue points etc.

8. RECORD CUE: press this button prior to one of the 4 HOT CUE buttons (37) to save a new cue point or loop. See the chapter "HOW TO USE" to learn how you save cue points and loops.

9. SAVE TRACK: the hot cue system uses 2 kinds of memory: temporary "track memory" and "permanent" memory. New hot cues are only saved to the temporary "track memory". If you want to keep the hot cues for future use you must save the information to permanent memory, using the SAVE TRACK-button (39).

10. DELETE CUE: this button has several functions:

11. DELETE 1 HOT CUE: press the DELETE CUE button, followed by the HOT CUE button that you want to delete from track memory. The deleted button will turn black.

12. DELETE 4 HOT CUES: press the DELETE CUE button for about 2 seconds to erase all 4 hot cues from track memory.
13. DELETE TRACK: press the DELETE CUE button and RECORD CUE button (38) together to delete the hot cues for the entire track from permanent memory. Because there will be no way back, the display first asks you if you're sure: using the PITCH BEND buttons (31) you can choose YES or NO.

CONNECTIONS

SIMPLE SETUP - 1 DECK

• Connect the supplied cinch (RCA) cable between the audio output (4) of the player and the line level input of your audio mixer.
• If available, connect the supplied fader start cable between the fader start output (3) of the player and the fader start input on your mixer.
• Connect the supplied power cord between the mains input (1) on the player and the mains socket.
  You can now play CDs and connect USB-storage, loaded with MP3 and WAV files.

SETUP - 2 OR 3 DECKS

For each deck follow the instruction for "simple setup - 1 deck".

• Connect a USB hard disk to the USB2-connection (8) of player1.

Note 1: the hard disk must be formatted in FAT32! A hard disk formatted in NTFS (mostly drives with big capacity) will NOT be recognized: such hard disk should be re-formatted in FAT32! (this can be done under Windows, we can't offer any support for this!)

Note 2: the USB-slots on this player can each deliver 1A power to the connected hard disk. However we suggest using a hard disk with separate power supply for better reliability.

• Use the supplied USB-cable to connect the USB-link connection (9) of player1 to the USB2-connection (8) of player2. (if you have a 3^rd player, connect players 2 and 3 in the same way)
• Use the SOURCE SELECT button (11) to select USB2 on the decks: the players will connect to hard disk.
  You can now play CDs and MP3 / WAV files from the connected hard disk.

IMPORTANT: for good, stable performance only use a good quality USB-cable with a maximum length of 1meter!

SETUP-MIDICONTROLLER

For each deck follow the instruction for "simple setup - 1 deck".

• Use the supplied USB-cable to connect the USB-link connection (9) of player1 to one of the USB-connections on your computer.
• Use the supplied USB-cable to connect the USB-link connection (9) of player2 to one of the USB-connections on your computer.
• In the setup menu: set option A (MIDI setup) to USB = MIDI. (see chapter SETUP MENU for support)
• Use the MIDI PLAYER A/B button (51) to select player1 as MIDI-controller A and player2 as MIDI-controller B.
• Configure your DJ software so it can be used with the DMC1000: this configuration depends completely on the PC-program you will use. This part of the installation and the use of the PC software is not supported by Synq! However we advise you to check our website to see if we have a midi-map file for the PC software of your choice available for download.

You can now control MIDI-software, play CDs and connect USB-storage, loaded with MP3 and WAV files.

Control Change messages are sent with status 0xBn, where n is the channel, for the specified CC controller. Thus the controller MIDI ID is indicated with the channel along with the CC number. The value from 0x00 to 0x7F, directly related to the location of the controller.

CC-RELATIVE (ENC)

Control Change messages are status 0xBn, where n is the channel, for the specified CC controller. Thus the controller MIDI ID is indicated with the channel along with the CC number. The value 0x40 is the reference value of the controller. This is an offset to 0x40 "one's complement" notation.

A message with data 0x43 indicates a positive change of 3.

A messages with data 0x31 indicates a negative change of 9.

SWITCH ON/OFF (SW,CENTER, CW, CCW)

These messages are used for switches.

Control Change messages are sent with status 0x9n, SWITCH On and Off value are 0x7F and 0x00, where n is the channel.

LED ON/OFF (LED)

These messages are used for LED.

Control Change messages are sent with status 0x9n, LED On and Off value are 0x7F and 0x00, where n is the channel.

INSTALLING THE Q-DBASE SOFTWARE

The DMC1000 works perfectly without the Q-DBASE database files but if you want to search your tracks easily and lightning fast than you should install the Q-DBASE software on your computer! Please note that the program currently only works under Windows (XP, Vista, Win7). To be sure that you always have the latest version, you can download the software from our website. Installing the program is very easy: just double-click the file and follow the instructions on your screen.

USING THE Q-DBASE SOFTWARE

Each time you add or remove tracks from your USB hard disk, you must run the Q-DBASE software again to update the database files!

After the installation you will see a new program directory called "SYNQ". In this directory you will find 2 files:

Uninstall (to uninstall the software)
- Q-DBASE (to start the software)

• Connect your USB-hard drive to your PC and check which drive letter was assigned to it.
• Click on the Q-DBASE icon to start the software: the main screen is shown.
• In the upper left corner choose your USB-drive.
• Press the BUILD-button on the right side.

The software starts scanning the USB-drive for compatible audio files and extracts the ID3-tags to build the Q-DBASE files, needed to speed up the search function on player. Once the progression bar on the bottom is full, the database building process is finished and a short summary is shown.

• The program wrote the Q-DBASE files (file extensions: .DBH + .dat + .DBX) to the USB-drive so now you can remove it from your PC and connect it to the DMC-1000.

To achieve the best results, please always use the latest version of the database software. You can find the software version at the bottom left of the "About" screen.

! IMPORTANTMESSAGEFORVISTAUSERS!

Many Vista users will not be able to run the Q-DBASE software. This problem is caused by the UAC (User Account Control) limitation, a security option limiting the user privileges in Vista. To overcome this problem, right-click the Q-DBASE program icon and choose "Run as administrator" in the popup menu. Windows will respond with the window shown on the right: just click "Allow".

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:

SEARCH A TRACK WITH THE Q-DBASE SYSTEM:

Important: before you can use the Q-DBASE system, you should scan your USB-drive so it contains the necessary files.

You can choose the search key at any moment by pressing the TRACK-knob (19) while you turn it. You can search for Art(artist), Alb(album) or Gen(genre).

• Press the DATABASE-button (16) to start the lookup function the first character of the list you want to search is blinking in the display.
• Turn the FOLDER knob (18) to change the first character.
• Turn the JOG WHEEL (24) to browse the list that corresponds to your demand at high speed. If you want to search more precisely track by track, you can also turn the TRACK knob (19).
• Once you have found the right track: press the ENTER-button (17).

SEARCH A TRACK WITHOUT THE Q-DBASE SYSTEM:

Press and turn the TRACK-knob (19) to select Std(standard lookup system). If the USB-drive has no Q-DBASE files, the player automatically selects the standard lookup system. You have Two options:

Option 1:

Simply use the FOLDER and TRACK knobs to browse the different directories.

Option 2:

• Press the DATABASE-button (16) to start the lookup function both the FOLDER and TRACK displays start blinking.
• Turn the FOLDER knob (18) to browse the folders (press and turn to browse by 10 steps).
• Turn the JOG WHEEL (24) to browse the selected folder at high speed. If you want to search more precisely track by track, you can also turn the TRACK knob (19).
• Once you have found the right track: press the ENTER-button (17).

- SLEEP MODE:

When source select is set to CD, the CD player automatically shuts off the transport and laser after about 5~120 minutes (selectable in the setup menu), while in pause or cue mode. This extends the life of your motor drive and laser. During sleep mode the display shows the word "z Z 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 connect the FADER START inputs (3) on both players using the supplied fader-start cable. Use the SGL/CNT-button (14) to select "single" mode on both units. Open the 2 faders of the CD inputs on your mixer. 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.

PITCH BENDING:

This function is used to synchronize the beats of two tracks. 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- buttons are pressed.
• JOG WHEEL: During CDJ-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.

User Account Control

An unidentified program wants access to your computer

- 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 DMC1000 detects these CD-TEXT data, the display will show them automatically.

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

Apart from normal audio CD's the DMC1000 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 DMC1000 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 (36) to activate the auto loop function:
• Check if the EFFECT/LOOP SELECT button (45) is set to loop (red light)
• Use the buttons on both sides of the EFFECT/LOOP SYNC bar (44) to choose the length of the loop you want to make. (for example: a 1/1LOOP, which is a standard 4beat loop)
• Press the LOOP IN-button (33) at the right moment.

The DMC1000 automatically calculates the endpoint of the loop and starts playing the loop instantly.

You can use the buttons on both sides of the EFFECT/LOOP SYNC bar (44) to instantly cut/extend the playing loop.

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

- CREATE A LOOP MANUALLY:

Make sure that the AUTOLOOP-button (36) is switched off.

While a track is playing, press LOOP IN button (33) to program the starting point of the loop. Now press the OUT button (34) 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 button (34) 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 LOOP IN button (33) to set the starting point of the new loop. Now enter the endpoint by pressing the OUT button (34). 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 button (34), just press RELOOP (35) to restart the loop.
• When a loop is programmed and you left it by pressing the OUT button (34), just press OUT again to restart the loop. The point where you pressed OUT is now programmed as the new endpoint of the loop.
• When the loop is still playing, press the RELOOP button (35) to restart the loop immediately. You can repeat this several times to create a "Stutter" effect.

- EDIT A LOOP:

First check if the EFFECT/LOOP SELECT button (45) is set to effect (green light)

When a loop is programmed, press the RELOOP button (35) 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. If you also want to edit the loop intro point, press the RELOOP-button (35) to toggle between the loop start and endpoint. When the loop is perfect, press the LOOP OUT button (34) to save the new loop endpoint.

- CUT/EXTEND LOOP FUNCTION:

First check if the EFFECT/LOOP SELECT button (45) is set to loop (red light)

While a loop is playing you can you can use the buttons on both sides of the EFFECT/LOOP SYNC bar (44) to instantly cut/extend the playing loop:

• CUT FUNCTION: press the button on the left side of the EFFECT/LOOP SYNC bar (44) to cut the loop in half. Every time you press this button the loop is cut in half until you reach "1/64 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: press the button on the right side of the EFFECT/LOOP SYNC bar (44) to double the loop length by 2. With every extra click 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 EFFECTS:

In the description of the effects you can already find a lot of information, don't forget to also check that part!

- USE THE EFFECTS IN BEAT SYNCHRONIZED MODE:

Press the FX-SYNC button (48) so it's lit and check if the EFFECT/LOOP SELECT button (45) is set to effect (green light).

While music is playing you can press any of the 3 effects: the effect works in beat synchronized mode. Use the buttons on both sides of the EFFECT/LOOP SYNC bar (44) to choose different beat presets. Use the RATIO-button (46) to adapt the impact of the effect.

- USE THE EFFECTS IN MANUAL MODE:

Press the FX-SYNC button (48) so it's dark.

While music is playing you can press any of the 3 effects: use the JOG WHEEL (24) to change the effect in real-time. Use the HOLD button (44) to choose if the effect parameters need to be preserved or not. You can also check the description of the HOLD-button 44) for more information. Use the RATIO-button (46) to adapt the impact of the effect.

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 DMC1000 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 or USB-drive. 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 16 × 4 = 64 cue points and/or loops on one CD! Also on a USB-hard disk you can store 4 cue points and loops for as many tracks as you like.

• 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 LOOP IN (33) 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 LOOP IN button (33) to set the new cue point. (or press PLAY/PAUSE button)

Once the cue point is programmed, just press the CUE button (22) to recall it.

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

First press the RECORD CUE button (38) to make the unit enter hot cue memory mode (RECORD CUE button is on):

• Press one of the four HOT CUE buttons (37) at the right moment during normal playback: the HOT CUE button you just pressed changes to green color 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 changes to green color 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 DMC1000 in loop mode first. When the loop is playing, you press the RECORD CUE button (38) to make the player enter hot cue memory mode (RECORD CUE button is on). After this press one of the four HOT CUE buttons (37): the HOT CUE button you just pressed changes to red color 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 pressing the DELETE CUE button (40), followed by the HOT CUE button you want to delete. Or simply store a new cue point or loop to this HOT CUE button. You can also erase all four HOT CUE buttons together by pushing the DELETE CUE button (40) 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 (39). 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. Press the "DELETE CUE" and "RECORD CUE" buttons together. The display asks "Del Track?" if you press the YES button (PITCH BEND+ button), the track information will be deleted in the permanent memory.

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

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 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 where cue points or loops are stored in permanent memory, the DMC1000 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 RECALL 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 do nothing: after some seconds the display becomes automatically normal and of course the cue points are not loaded.
