CDN-88 Dual CD Player
A note from Numark
Congratulations, you are now the owner of one of the most technically advanced pieces of DJ equipment
ever developed. The CDN-88 is the result of many years of development and several NUMARK exclusive patents.
The developers and engineers behind the CDN-88 all have a significant amount of DJ experience and understand
your needs. As we like to say, “this unit was designed by DJs for DJs”, like the rest of NUMARK’s products.
That’s why some of the features in this unit may work slightly differently than others on the market. To get the
most out of your CDN-88, we highly recommend reading this short manual thoroughly.
We have taken great pride in developing features that will enhance your creativity when using CDs.
• Live Scratching: it really sounds like a vinyl record. Though we fully believe that nothing can replace
the skills or excitement of the turntablist, we also know this feature is tremendous fun to use on CD
and will change the way approach those little shiny discs.
• Triple Anti-Shock memory: Improves our patented Anti-Shock™ technology, not only in programming,
but also with the use of 2X speed CD mechanisms for faster loads and mechanical vibration protection.
Add to that 48 seconds of buffer memory, and the unit really is shock proof.
• The Beatkeeper™ III: Improves our patented Beatkeeper™ technology for even faster and more
accurate readouts through the buffer memory. The primary use of this technology is an essential tool
of many effects in the unit itself. Our goal is to enhance the DJ’s skills. Remember you are not just a
DJ but a musician as well. Also, when you use the Beatkeeper and Interlock, you have full control over
the unit. Maybe you want to keep two songs matched and pitch the entire mix up or down. Or perhaps
use an ISO/KILL - mix the drums on one song with the vocals of another.
• 200% pitch control: Why not? This gives you + or – 100% control over your music. Exploit your
creativity!
• Key Lock: Similar yet different from “master tempo”. With “master tempo” the pitch only locks at the
0% point. So often a DJ is in the middle of a pitched mix and determines they need to make rapid and
drastic changes in speed to bring in a record or change the mood. With KEY LOCK you can lock on right
in at your current position, no returning to 0%. On top of that we took it one step further. Because we
developed our own technology for this feature our KEY LOCK can go + or – 100%. Why not?
• End of Track Dead Space Elimination: So often a DJ will play a CD continuously for the cocktail or
dinner hour. This feature eliminates the inconsistent space often found between tracks and keeps the
music going.
•
Effects: We took the liberty of adding some effects never before seen in a CD Player. Because we do
the effects from a real time buffer, the effects are far more impressive then if provided from an
external effects processor. Beat synchronized echo and chop are amazing. The echo can actually be
set to play before the music. Standard filter effects such as Phaze, Verb, Slide, ISO, and KILL are
also included. We also added BLEEP to get rid of those dirty lyrics on the fly and true reverse with no
time limits.
We hope you have as much fun performing with the CDN-88 as we did developing it.
