18. Jog Wheel

Your CD player features an extra large Jog Wheel for a true vinyl-like operation. This is generally divided into two sections for scratch applications. The top section is touch sensitive and responds to the body's own electricity - similar to a vinyl record on the turntable. The outer rubberised ring has been designed for pitch bending - similar to the edge of a turntable's platter. If the Scratch function -27- has been deactivated, the entire Jog Wheel also works as a Search and Pitch Bend wheel. By turning clockwise and counterclockwise while in Cue and Pause mode, you can frame-search precisely (1/75 min.) for a Cue Point. While in Play mode, use the Jog Wheel, similar to a turntable, for pitch bending (during deactivated Scratch -27-). This is a quick increase (push start) or decrease (stop) of the pitch. The faster the Jog Wheel is turned, the quicker the change of pitch. The same effect can be achieved with the Pitch Bend Buttons -24-. Also, the Jog Wheel can be used with the help of the Time and Ratio Buttons -25/26- to modulate and set effects and samples. For this, read more on the individual effects -28 to 35- in the chapter entitled „Sampling“.

19. Eject Button

To insert a CD, slide the CD with the picture facing upwards carefully into the slot -1-. The CD is automatically pulled in. The Status LED above the drive flashes while loading the CD. As soon as the CD has been read and recognised, the Status LED goes off. When playing CDs with a diameter of less than 12 cm, use any conventional adapter. Press the Eject Button -19- to eject the CD.

20.Pitch Range Button

Press the Pitch Range Button -20- to select between a pitch range of +/- 4%, +/-8%, +/-16% or +/-100%.

21. Key Lock Button

When activating the Key Lock function with the button -21- the track's original tone pitch, regardless of the set pitch, is maintained. Press the button a second time to deactivate the Key Lock function.

22.Pitch Fader

Use the Pitch Fader -22- to infinitely change the pitch of the track within the selected range. The difference from the original pitch is shown on the display -11F- in percent. Adjustments in the +/-4 %, +/- 8% and +/-16% pitch ranges are effected in steps of 0,02% and in the +/- 100% pitch range in steps of 0,1%.

NOTE!

These steps can only be shown with one position after decimal point on the display -11 F-. The accurate value will temporarily appear on the display -11 J- when using the pitch fader.

23. Pitch On/Off Button

De-/Activate the Pitch Fader using the Pitch On/Off Button -23-.

24. Pitch Bend Buttons

Use the Pitch Bend buttons -24- to briefly change the pitch of the respective track by +4/8/16% (+ button), or by -4/8/16% (- button) by holding it. Release the button for the player to return to the pitch set with the Pitch Fader.

25.Parameter Time Button

Use the Parameter Time Button to modulate a chosen effect or a sample (beat frequency, pitch). >>For more information read about the individual effects -28 to 35- or go to the chapter entitled „Sampling”.

NOTE:

The last activated effect or sample is always assigned to the parameter.

26.Parameter Ratio Button

Modulate a chosen effect or a sample with the help of the Parameter Ratio Button. (intensity) >>For more information read about the individual effects -28 to 35- or go to the chapter entitled „Sampling”.

NOTE:

The last activated effect or sample is always assigned to the parameter.

27. Scratch Button (Vinyl mode)

Select the Scratch effect by pressing the Scratch Button -27-. Then scratch the track while in Play mode with the top section of the Jog Wheel -18- like a vinyl record, by moving it forward and backward and holding it. The Jog Wheel recognises the touch of your fingers. Press the Scratch Button a second time to deactivate the Scratch effect.

NOTES:

- When pressing and holding the Scratch Button for more than 2 seconds, the „Scratch-to-Cue“ mode is activated. If only the Jog Wheel is touched, the player instantly returns to the Cue Point without changing into the Pause or Playback mode. This is how to scratch a track from the desired Cue Point. Press the Scratch Button a further time to deactivate the Scratch mode.

- Personalise your preferred Jog Wheel sensitivity. Proceed as detailed in the chapter „Submenu“.

- Hold the Shift Button and press the Scratch Button until the LED blinks. This enables the Sample Scratch mode.

28.Skid Button

Select the Skid effect by first activating the Skid Button -28-. Press the Hold Button -31- to maintain the set parameters.

NOTE!

Please also refer to the chapter „USB Audio Link“ for further information.

SAMPLING

This chapter details the possibilities and settings of the mighty on-board sampler of your device.

A loop is the permanent repetition of a sequence between a chosen loop starting point and a chosen loop ending point. Select a loop starting point by pressing the Loop In Button -12-. Select the loop ending point by pressing the Loop Out Button -13-. The player goes automatically into Loop mode and the Reloop display flashes. The sequence thus chosen is seamlessly replayed until the Loop Out Button - 13- is pressed a second time. The player seamlessly goes into Play mode. To prompt the last played loop against, press the Reloop Button -14-. The player goes automatically into Loop mode.

Auto Loop Function:

Hold the Shift Button -46- and push one of the Beat Link Buttons -36- in order to set an Auto Loop. Depending on the chosen bar you can choose between 7 different bar lengths (1/8 - 4/1). The more precise the BPM recognition the better the Auto Loop will function. In order to manually analyse the BPM value use the Tap Button -38-. In order to leave the loop push the Loop-Out Button -13-.

NOTE:

• The player saves this loop for the current track only. When changing to a different track, no loop is stored.
• The currently saved loop starting point (set with the Loop In Button -12-) is also the current Cue Point. When saving a new Cue Point, after saving a Loop and exiting the Loop mode, this overwrites the current starting point. The re-loop display goes off and no loop is saved anymore.
• You have four sample banks available, each of 5 seconds. To record a sample, set a loop as described above using the Loop In and Loop Out Buttons. Then press the Memory Button -16- and then one of the four Memory Buttons -15- The loop thus set is now saved in the chosen sample bank and the Memory Button goes off. To play a sample, first press the Sampler Button -17-. Then press the desired one of the four memory buttons. The Sampler plays the sample from the chosen bank in an endless loop (Endless mode). Press the Sample Button once again to play the sample only once (One Shot mode). To end playing the sample, press the Sample Button again. The light goes off.

NOTE:

• When in Sampler mode, playing a sample is activated independently from CD play. In Play mode the current track can also be heard as the sample. In Cue and Pause mode, only the sample can be heard.
• Edit the saved loops with the help of the Parameter Time and Ratio Buttons while in Sampler mode. Use the Parameter Time Buttons to change the pitch of the loop (from -100% to +100%). Use the Parameter Ratio Button to vary the volume of the sample (from 0 - 255 max.). The player saves the samples set in this manner until they are overwritten by new ones or the device is switched off. Even when changing the track or the CD, the saved samples are stored. The button of an assigned Sample bank is always lit blue if the assigned (= sample's own) CD has been inserted. If a different CD is inserted (= non-sample) the respective button lights up in red. The button of the last assigned sample bank also flashes in the respective colour. A sample bank is overwritten when new samples are recorded. The four sample banks are also Hot Cue Point memories. When pressing the button of a sample bank without previously having activated the Memory button or the Sample button, the Player returns while in Play mode as well as in Pause mode to the beginning of the respective sample. This function is only available for CDs of samples or with sample banks that are illuminated in blue.

NOTES:

• If you wish to lastingly save the set Cue Points / Samples, press the Memory Button -16- for two seconds. The display reads „Saving“. This means that the Cue Points / Samples of the CD's own sample will be maintained even after switching the device off. It is possible to lastingly store for up to 500 CDs four cue points or samples. To prompt the saved Cue Points / Samples of a CD again, press the Memory Button -16- BEFORE inserting the CD. The display reads „Recall“. Now insert the CD and the previously stored Cue Points/Samples are automatically loaded. The respective storage banks flash blue and are ready for play.
• To completely delete the Cue Point / Sample Bank memory, first switch off the device with the ON/OFF switch -44-. Then turn the Search Wheel -5- counter-clockwise until the point of resistance and hold it in this position. Switch the device on with the ON/OFF switch. Release the Search Wheel again as soon as the display reads „Clear all“.

USB MODE

Choose the USB Mode via the Source Select Button -48- (the Source Select Button glows red). Now connect your USB medium to the USB Port -47- (e.g. USB stick or external USB hard disk). The player will load the first track from the alphabetically first folder. By turning the Track Wheel -4- it is possible navigate quickly through the single folders. When the last track of a folder has been played the player will automatically jump to the first track of the following folder. The current track and folder numbers will be shown in the display -A-.

NOTE!

Please also refer to the chapter „Submenu“ for selectable display options. Via the Folder Search Buttons -6- it is possible to navigate directly through the generated folders. All further player functions are equal to the normal CD/MP3 mode.

WORTH KNOWING!

Please also refer to the chapter „USB Audio Link“ in order to connect two RMP-3 players and to access one USB MIDI source.

MIDI MODE

By holding the Source Select Button -48- for a longer period of time you will change to MIDI Mode. The Source Select Button glows purple, „DeckA CH1“ appears on the display. The remark „DeckA CH1“ means that all elements are sending on MIDI channel 1. By pushing the Reverse/Deck Switch Button you can switch from channel 1 (Deck A) to channel 4 (Deck D). This way an easy handling of up to 4 virtual players becomes possible. Further information can be found in the chapter „Submenu“ and in the TRAKTOR PRO mapping.

CONNECTING SEVERAL RMP-3 PLAYERS

If you would like to connect several RMP-3 players (e.g. in order to control DJ software) the following possibilities are suggestive:

- Two RMP-3 in use with TRAKTOR PRO

The RMP-3 mapping implemented in TRAKTOR PRO is layed out for channel 1 - 4 (Channel 1 = Deck A, Channel 2 = Deck B, Channel 3 = Deck C, channel 4 = Deck D). When using two players you should adjust player 1 via the Reverse/Deck Switch Button to „DeckA CH1“ for Deck A. For Deck B the player should be switched to DeckB CH2.

This way the left player 1 controls Deck A and the right player 2 controls Deck B. It is suggestive to assign a hardware ID to each player which can be adjusted in the submenu under B > MIDI Set > Name. Please also refer to the TRAKTOR assignment draft in this manual.

- Connecting Several RMP-3 Players

When using several RMP-3 players in order to control a software it is possible to

a) under B > MIDI Set > Name to assign a hardware ID to single players

b) under D > MIDI Channel to assign a channel preset to the single players (altogether 4 presets, 4 channels each).
