a) Connect your turntable's or CD player's outputs to the corresponding inputs (1 or 2) of the Reloop Spin! 2+ Interface -1-. If required connect your turntables to the GND grounding screw -3-. Depending on the connected player de-/activate the phono pre-amp -2-. Adjust the signal input volume with the Input Gain Knob -6-. This adjustmetn can vary depending on the connected medium.
b) Connect the line outputs -9- of the Spin! 2 Interface with the line inputs of your mixer. In order to loop through a conventional vinyl signal connect the Through Outputs -10- with the phono inputs of your mixer. This way it is possible to switch between the timecode and analogue vinyl signal by simply using the phono/line switches.

NOTE!

The Signal Input LEDs 1, 2 -30- light up when there is an incoming signal. The Signal Output LEDs -31- light up when there is an outgoing signal.

c) You can connect a microphone to the Microphone Input -15-. If you use a studio condenser microphone you can activate the rquired phantom power by pushing the 48 V Phantom Power Button 16-. The 48 V phantom power status LED -17- lights up when this function has been activated. With the Mic On button -20- you can turn the microphone on and off respectively.

21. Beat Match View

The Beat Match View shows you the peaks of both tracks - the two displays are arranged vis-à-vis. It is possible to quickly recognize whether bass drums and snares are running simultaneously. This way, if the two tracks have been matched regarding the pitch, it is possible to easily and quickly synchronise two tracks. The left player 1 is displayed green and the right player 2 is displayed grey.

By activating the Bar function (menu item 3.5 Spin! Workspace, subitem 3.5.3 Bar) the advanced Beat Match View will be displayed.

a) Peaks

Display of the wave peaks.

b) 4/4 Bar Counter

The four small boxes indicate the 4/4 bar. With each bar a further box will light up. With this help you can bring in the track according to the first of four beats.

c) Beat Bars

Display the single beat bars synchronically to the peak display.

NOTE!

If the Beat Bars are not correctly in line with the peak you can adjust this in the Needle View. To do so hold the displayed bar in Needle View with the mouse and drag it accordingly to the left or right.

d) 16 Bar Counter

This numeric display counts each 16 bars. If for example a 7 is displayed, 7 bars of the track have been played. As usually every 16 bars there is a change of the suspense curve (breaks, effects, etc.) you can use this help as mix staring point.

e) Zoom Adjustment

Here you can adjust the zoom factor of the Beat Match View.

22.Complete View

In the Complete View you can see the complete waveform of a track. The dramatic arch of a track can be recognized well and at the blink of an eye you can also see where the intros and breaks are. The elapsed part of a track is displayed green and the remaining part of a track is displayed grey.

The zoom range can be adjusted from 2 - 16 beats. To do so click the right mouse button in needle view and select the according value from the submenu. Furthermore you can choose whether the left, right, stereo or both channels mixed should be shown in the waveform. Select the according option with a right mouse click in Needle View.

There are two types for the Needle View display:

Waveform Scrolling

The waveform moves. A vertical line in the middle represents the needle.

- Tick Scrolling

The waveform remains still. The line (corresponds to the needle's position) moves.

NOTE!

This option is system-resource saving.

Select the corresponding option with a right mouse click in Needle View.

24. Master

Adjust the master volume for player 1 and player 2 respectively.

25. Mic Rec. Function

Due to the integrated Mic Rec. Function (Mic Spin!) you can record a sample via microphone that can later be used for scratching for example.

Follow these steps:

Sample recording

• Under Audio Input (Music Explorer) assign the input "O: Reloop Spin! 2- Interface 1" via drag & drop to one of the players
• Adjust the volume level via the mic volume knob
• Push the Rec button
• A save dialogue will appear; enter name and position where the sample should be stored
• After pushing "save" the recording will start; stop the recording by pushing the Rec. button once more

Mic Spin! function (playing and scratching a sample)

• Via drag & drop assign a desired track from the Spin! Library or the recorded sample to a player in order to manipulate it via record.

NOTE!

The mic input is coupled to the input 1. As soon as you connect the microphone the phono/line input 1 is deactivated. If you would like to record a mic smaple during a mixing session make sure that player 2 is currently playing. After recording disconnect the microphone in order to be able to control player 1 via records.

26.Load Track

With this function it is possible to load single files to the player.

27. Bypass Function

If the Bypass Function has been activated the input signal of the Spin! 2+ Interface will be directly routed through the software. Deactivate the bypass function for timecode use.

28.Label Monitor

The Label Monitor is a kind of virtual record that moves along according to the timecode record. Each movement that is made with the record will be carried out synchronously to the Label Monitor. The Label Monitor is a helpful marker for beat juggling.

29. Gain Knob

The Gain Knob is, similar to a mixer, the final amplification of a channel. Tracks of a different recording volume level can be adjusted to one another without increasing the master volume.

NOTE!

Under > File > Options > Rider „BPM and Tools!" > item "Auto BPM" you can activate the auto gain function. This way the gain values of the tracks will be adjusted automatically without any further need for manual adjustment.

30. Pitch Mode

You have the possibility to select two different Pitch Modes via the pitchfader -31-. You can change the mode by clicking the -30- button.

a) Speed Mode

If Speed Mode has been selected you can adjust the pitch like with a normal turntable. Within the adjusted pitch range the current value is also shown in the Info View -51-, position -7-.

b) Master Tempo Mode (MT)

If the Master Tempo mode has been activated it is possible to change the pitch via the pitch fader -31- ranging from - / + 6% without influencing the tone pitch. This means that the tone pitch remains the same when changing the pitch.

31. Pitchfader

The pitch fader represents a conventional pitchfader of a turntable or CD player. When in Timecode Vinyl mode -32- the fader moves synchronously to the adjustments made with the turntable. This depends on the adjusted pitch mode (see point 30). In deactivated Timecode Mode the pitchfader can also be moved via the mouse.

32. Vinyl Timecode Activation

Via this button you can activate the Timecode Mode, which means that an operation via timecode records and CDs becomes possible. If this button is deactivated it is only possible to control the software via the mouse.

33. Spin! Mode Button

By using this button you can choose between the playback modes Spin! Mode, Classic Spin!, Advanced Spin! and Battle Spin!.

a) Classic Spin!

The audio files will be played from beginning to end, just like a normal record (needle drop). Classic mixing and scratching are possible but without the loop, cue points and effects options.

b) Advanced Spin!

In this mode needle drop is also possible. But it is commensurate to the vinyl record's length. So if you would like to jump to the middle of a song, you have to place the needle in the middle of the record. Classic mixing and scratching are possible; loops, cue points and effects are available.

c) Battle Spin!

No needle drop is available here. This means that the track will always continue no matter where the needle is placed on the record. This mode is appropriate for scratching even if the needle should skip. Battle mixing is possible; loops, cue points and effects are available.

34. Play/Pause Button

By pushing this button you will start the previously selected track. This function is only available in PC control mode.

35. Cue Button

By using this button you will change to Cue Mode. There are two possibilities in order to set a cue point.

37. Skip Buttons

Push these buttons in order to load the previous or next track from your Spin! Library.

38. Fast Search Buttons

Via these buttons it is possible to fast search within a track. In Timecode Mode this function is deactivated.

39. Pitch-Bend Buttons

Activate the pitch vernier adjustment via the Pitch Bend Button. By pushing and holding these buttons you can temporarily increase or decrease the pitch. Release the button and the player will return to the pitch that has previously been set via the pitch fader.

40. Spin! Library

In this browser you will find all necessary information regarding the tracks of your Spin! Library. In order to directly select a track from the library click on the corresponding track and move it via drag & drop to the desired player. Alternatively you can also choose the track select function via the timecode record (see chapter 1.5, item b).

Via the hot key "V" you can activate the Spin! Library in order to navigate the library via the up/ down cursor buttons. By pushing enter you can assign the track to the active player. Via the TAB button you can select between player 1 and player 2.

9. Left/Right Inverse

When using certain needles or when having calibrating problems it could be that the left and right side have been mixed up. For the software sector this can be re-adjusted via this option.

10. Phase Inversion

Some cartridges such as the Shure M44-7 need a phase inversion. Activate it here.

11. Timecode Start Delay

Here you can determine the starting point of your timecode record. As usually the first third of the record is likely to be worn out first it is possible to offset the starting point to a desired position. To do so place the needle on the desired starting point and push "Save Position". The value is displayed in milliseconds.

12. Noise Level/Noise Filter

These two values are only intended for optimisation and for solving problems. Due to easy setup these values have already been configured.

- Noise Filter:

When experiencing grounding problems or something similar you can increase the noise filter to 150 for example in order to improve the input signal. The louder the noise the higher the frequency should be raised.

ATTENTION!

The timecode's precision could decrease if the noise filter is set too high.

- Noise Level:

Here you can adjust the noise level in decibel. For a better sensitivity the value should be increased. Default setting is 40 dB.

13. Calibration Display

Here the timecode signal is displayed optically. Ideally the signal should look like a sinus curve. If the signal is distorted (square wave) you should check your needles or adjust the settings as described above.

14. Circle Diagram

6. FAQ

6.1 Do I need a special stylus in order to use Spin! 2?

No. Spin! 2 will work with every needle. Still, some things should be considered to guarantee a smooth performance:

Your needle should neither be worn out nor be dirty/dusty. If you use a headshell-mounted system please be sure that it is aligned properly. Also its output voltage should be as high as possible to ensure a „clean“ timecode stream. This is why we bundled the Ortofon Digitrack System with Spin! 2: due to its „Concorde“-design you dont have to make any adjustments and its very high output (8mV) makes sure that the timecode stream is always nice and clean.

Generally speaking every turntable is Spin! 2 compatible. The better the turntable (e.g. Reloop RP-6000 MK6) the better the results (scratch characteristics, speed droop).

6.2 Can I buy the timecode vinyl records separately?

Yes, of course. Timecode vinyl records wear out quicker than normal vinyl because you don't change them after every song. Besides the normal wear and tear your records get while being used, oil or grease will degrade the quality of your timecode vinyl. Because of that your dealer has spare records. They come in black, white and atomic green.

6.3 Why won't my computer recognize the Spin! Interface?

There may be several reasons. We would recommend to unplug all your USB devices to eliminate conflicts with USB soundcards for example.

Also we advise you not to use a hub to connect Spin! 2 to your computer. If possible, always make a direct connection.

6.4 Why is there no timecode signal from one turntable? One turntable can play MP3 files, only the second one does not work as Spin! says that it cannot find a timecode signal?

Go to „Options/Timecode" and check if any waveforms are displayed. If there is only one waveform displayed then there is a faulty connection between your needle and the interface. In order for Spin! 2 to work it needs to read TWO waveforms. Just to clarify: that means TWO waveforms PER PLAYER, shown in red and white. First, swap your needles. If the problem migrates along with your needle to the second turntable then your needle is either dirty/ broken or the contacts are dirty. Use a q-tip and some cleaning alcohol to clean both the contacts on the cartridge and in the tonearm. Please do NOT spray contact spray or anything else into the tonearm! You can check whether you get a stereo signal out of your turntable by playing a normal record and using the panorama knob on your mixer. If both needles work on one of the turntables but not on the second turntable then you probably have a bad RCA cord. Please replace it. If the audio cords are permanently attached to your turntable then contact your specialized dealer / technician and ask for help.

6.5 Why do I only hear a high-pitched tone?

You're listening to the timecode stream because you activated „Vinyl Bypass“, located right above the Label Monitor. In your case, you're playing the timecode vinyl. Deactivate „Vinyl Bypass“ and the control vinyl will play your digital music.

6.6 Why is the music playing in reverse?

Your turntable is playing normally yet your music is playing backwards? Your turntable may be hooked up incorrectly. Your cables are mixed up- the left and right channels of your turntable are reversed. Simply swap them and everything should be back to normal. If for some reason you can't swap the cables then go to „File-> Options-> Timecode" and check the box next to „Left/Right Inverse". Basically this has the same effect as swapping your cables would have, however, it is always a better to have your equipment connected correctly.

6.7 Can I play my records at 45 RPM instead of 33 RPM?

Yes. Go to „File -> Options -> Timecode" and check the box next to „45 RPM". Now re-calibrate Spin! 2 (make sure that the turntable's pitch fader is set to „0").

6.8 Why are both tracks being played on the same channel?

Both players are routed to the same OUT PORT. In the Info Screen, click on the number after "Out Port" to change the routing. Typically you will want to route the left channel to Port 1 and the right one to Port 2.

6.9 Why is there no signal?

There are several possibilities, please check the following:

• Is your mixer/amp turned on? Are gain, line and master controls turned up?
• Did you choose the correct input on your mixer (phono instead of line)?
• Is vinyl control activated? (Button „Vinyl" below the Label monitor has to be green)
• Is Spin! 2 correctly configured?
• Have all the cords been plugged correctly?
• Does Spin! 2 recognize the timecode?
• Is a microphone plugged in? Unplug the mic, it blocks Input 1.
• Is the correct Out Port set? Left Player: Out Port 1, right player: Out Port 2.

6.9.1 Can I use the Interface as a sound card?

You can use the Spin! 2 interface as a mobile USB sound card with two stereo inputs and two stereo outputs. Also it features a microphone input with adjustable gain. If you use the mic input it will work instead of stereo input 1.

6.9.2 What do I have to observe if I use a Shure M44-7?

This cartridge will need a phase inversion. Go to „File -> Options -> Timecode" and tick the box next to „Phase Inverse".

6.9.3 Why is the music skipping a beat now and then?

The cause may be a hard disc that is too slow. One solution is to set the setting "Load Tracks to RAM" to "rapid" under "options>system". Furthermore it is recommended to defragment the hard disc where the tracks are stored in order to optimize the reading abilities.

6.9.4 Why does the speed / the pitch of my tracks fluctuate?

There are several reasons for this:

Spin! 2 is not calibrated
- the needle is dirty/dusty
- there is too much weight on the needle
the needle is worn out
- the timecode vinyl is worn out (scratches, cue burn) or dirty

6.9.5 Is there an auto mix/party mix function?

Yes. Add some tracks to the Spin! 2 list (NOT the Spin! 2 library) and select „play Spin! 2 list" by right-clicking into the list. The tracks will be played alternately between both players.

6.9.6 How can I optimize the performance of Spin! 2?

A computer with decent performance and stability is important in order to have Spin! 2 running reliably. Here are some tricks:

• Open the settings for your system performance in your control panel under „System>Advanced". Here select the setting „adjust for ideal setting".
• Deactivate any LAN / WLAN and network devices.
• Deactivate virus scanners and power management software.
• In Windows, go to „System Properties ->Advanced ->Performance Options" and tick „Background services" in your Windows settings
• Defragment your hard disc
• Don't have other programs running in parallel with Spin! 2.
• In Spin! 2, go to „File -> Options" and tick „Sound before graphic priority"

6.9.7 What can I do if I hear humming or buzzing when using a laptop?

Try to disconnect the mains adapter from your laptop. If the humming is no longer audible this is a grounding problem. You can try to solve the problem via the following procedures:

• Try to use a mains adapter without grounding.
• Try to connect all your devices to only one circuit.
• Try to place the mains and RCA cords separately.
• Check if your turntable is grounded correctly.
  Try to connect an anti-buzzing filter.

6.9.8 Why is the signal distorted, why is there too much bass, why are the high frequencies missing?

Please check if Spin! 2.2 Interface's outputs are connected to the line inputs of your mixer (not to phono input).
