CONTROLS AND FUNCTIONS (MAIN UNIT)

1. POWER ON/OFF switch: switches the CD-player on and off.
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.

1. CONTROL connector: connect this connector to the control unit, using the supplied mini-DIN9 cables. Make sure to not interchange the cables from decks 1 and 2!
2. AUDIO outputs: Output for the audio signals from the CD-player. Use the supplied cinch/cinch cable to connect this output to a CD/line input 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

1. JOG WHEEL: This jog wheel serves 3 functions depending on the mode you are working in.

2. 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".

3. If the track is playing and the fast search function (4) is not active, the jog wheel temporarily bends the pitch of the music up to +/-32% 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.

4. If the fast search function (4) is active, you will be able to search at a higher speed through the current track.

5. 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.

6. 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) If the button is pressed for more than 1second, the player toggles between single and continuous play:

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

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

9. FAST SEARCH button: press this button to toggle the function of the JOG WHEEL(1) between fast search mode ("SEARCH" shown in the display) and normal mode. The fast search function is automatically turned off when the JOG WHEEL is not used for more than 10seconds.

10. PLAY MODE: normally the JOG WHEEL is used as pitch bend tool to synchronize the beats of the playing track to another track. When the fast search mode is turned on, you can use the JOG WHEEL to search very quickly forward/backward inside the current track.

11. PAUSE MODE: normally the JOG WHEEL is used to search very precisely (1frame precision) for the exact cue point. When the fast search mode is turned on, you can use the JOG WHEEL to search very quickly forward/backward inside the current track.

12. 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.

13. LOOP OUT 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 button stops the loop editing and saves the new loop endpoint.
14. RELOOP/STUTTER button: This button has 2 functions:

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

16. 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.

17. 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.

18. 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.

19. TRACK SEARCH buttons: These buttons are used to select the track to be played. Forward skip & back skip. Press the +/-10 button together with the TRACK buttons to skip 10 tracks at once.

20. FOLDER/TRACK button: This button is used to toggle between FOLDER and TRACK mode.

21. FOLDER SEARCH buttons: In FOLDER mode these buttons are used to browse and select the desired folder. Not used in TRACK mode.

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

23. TAP button: The MPT-200 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.

24. ID3-Tag button: standard the display shows the track title, however you can also browse the other ID3-tag information:

25. Press the track button 1x: Artist name is shown on the display

26. Press the track button 2x: Current folder name is shown on the display (only in FOLDER mode)

27. Press the track button 3x: Bit rate is shown on the display

28. 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.

29. PITCH button: This button is used to turn the speed function on and off. You can also select 3 different pitch ranges (+/-4%, 8%, 16%): every time you press the "PITCH BEND -" button shortly while you keep the PITCH button pressed, you will change the pitch range. (the pitch range LED has a different color for the 3 pitch ranges)
30. PITCH slider: Press the PITCH button, so the pitch range LED is lit. The speed can be adapted up to +/- 16% by moving the fader. The speed will not change when the pitch range LED, on the left of the PITCH button, is off.
31. 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.
32. 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.

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.
2. CONTROL connector: connect this connector to the main unit, using the supplied mini-DIN9 cables. Make sure to not interchange the cables from decks 1 and 2!

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

3. FOLDER: Shows the current folder number. (only shown when the player is in FOLDER mode)

4. TRACK: Shows current track number.

5. MINUTE: Shows "minutes" time information of current track.

6. SECOND: Shows "seconds" time information of current track.

7. FRAME: Shows "frame" time information of current track. (1 frame = 1/75^th sec.)

8. TIME BAR: shows either remaining or elapsed time. Starts flashing at the end of each track to alert the user to take action.

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 BPM/TAP button for 1second to switch to automatic mode)

10. PITCH DISPLAY: Shows the actual percentage of speed change, selected with the SPEED slider. The small padlock is shown when the pitch lock function (Master Tempo) is active.

11. LOOP: shows when a loop is programmed. (repeating a particular area)

12. LOOP Flashing: Loop is programmed and currently playing.

13. IN + OUT shown: Loop is programmed but not playing.

14. AUTO CUE: appears when the "auto cue" function is active. (in single mode "auto cue" is always on)

15. ELAPSED, REMAIN: indicates that the time shown on the display is the elapsed or remaining time for the playing track.

Note: for MP3 files it's not possible to show the total remaining time for all tracks on the CDROM.

1. 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". All kinds of other interactive information is also shown.
2. CD/MP3: informs you if the CD/CDROM is a normal audio CD or if it contains MP3-files.
3. SINGLE: appears when the unit is set to play just one track at a time. When it is not shown, the player plays continuously through all tracks.

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.

- 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 "SLEEPING". 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 (on the left or right player) to enable the relay function. 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 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 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.

- PLAYING MP3 FILES:

The CD player automatically detects if a CD contains MP3 files. The MPT200 is able to read several different MP3 formats but due to display limitations it can't show the ID3-tags (song title/performer/...). 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.

FOLDER / TRACK SELECTORS:

To keep things manageable you can sort your MP3 files in different sub folders (directories). These folders can be named after the names of the performers, after the music genres (techno, slows, salsa ...), the BPM count (100BPM, 110BPM, 120BPM ...) or any other idea you have to sort your music...

Some examples:

With the FOLDER / TRACK selectors you can easily browse through the different folders and tracks. Press the FOLDER/TRACK button (11) to toggle between FOLDER mode and TRACK mode:

• FOLDER MODE: use the FOLDER SEARCH buttons (12) to select the desired folder. With the TRACK selectors (10) you can select the desired MP3 track in this folder. Note that you can only select tracks inside the selected folder. To go to another folder just use the FOLDER SEARCH buttons.
• TRACK MODE: you will be able to browse all the tracks on your CD/CDROM as if no sub folders were present.

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

Apart from normal audio CD's the MPT200 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 MPT200 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.

- CREATE A LOOP:

While a track is playing, press the LOOP IN button to program the starting point of the loop. Now press the OUT 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 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 LOOP IN button to set the starting point of the new loop. Now enter the endpoint by pressing the OUT 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 button, just press RELOOP to restart the loop.
• When a loop is programmed and you left it by pressing the OUT button, 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 to restart the loop immediately. You can repeat this several times to create a "Stutter" effect.
