same tempo but have beats that hit at
slightly different times.

31. USB MASTER - Connect your favorite USB

storage device to this connector to allow the
iCDX to read and play back your music files.
The iCDX only supports the mp3 format so
please make sure that your audio files are
encoded as mp3s if you would like to use
them with the iCDX, (Note: The iCDX
supports the HFS+ and FAT files systems.
NTFS is not supported.)

35. FADER START - Use this connector to plug

into your fader start compatible mixer or
remote switch.

To use this connector for fader start, use a
fader start cable to connect to a fader start
compatible mixer. Every time you move the
crossfader on the mixer to the side that the
unit is on, it will start playing. When you
move the fader away from that side, the unit
will stop. Moving the fader back will start
playback again.

Foot switches can also be attached to this
jack for creative mixing techniques and can
be found at most music shops. Connector
plugs are often 1/4", so you may need to
use a 1/8" adapter.

There are two types of footswitches that will
work with this unit. The first is a typical
on/off pushbutton switch and is generally
used for switching channels on a guitar
amplifier. The second type is a momentary
footswitch commonly used as a keyboard
sustain pedal.

36. RELAY - Relay play allows two compatible

CD players to alternate play from one unit to
the other and back as the tracks end. To

Parameter Knob Features

Several menus and options can be accessed by holding down one of the buttons listed below and turning
the parameter knob.

Scratch

Holding the SCRATCH button and turning the
parameter knob will allow you to choose the
desired scratch mode:

Vinyl: This mode allows you to use the
platter to scratch just like you would with
a vinyl record. When you press on the
inner part of the jog wheel, the music
will stop where it is until the wheel is
released.

Forward: When you use the jog wheel
to scratch, only the forward motions are
heard. This simulates using a crossfader
to cut out the backspins.

Bleep: Allows you to "insert" a scratch
while the music continues to advance.
One you are done scratching, the music
will continue to play where it would have
been if you hadn't scratched.

Bleep Forward: Essentially a
combination of Bleep and Forward
scratch modes. Allows you to "insert" a
scratch but only plays the forward
motion of the platter.

Cue: Scratches from the current cue
point. Each time you touch the inner
platter, the song will begin from the
current cue point. This allows you to set
a cue point for a certain segment of a
song and scratch repeatedly over the
same segment.

Cue Forward: Cue forward is a
combination of Cue mode and Forward
mode. It scratches from the current cue
point but does not play sound during
counter clockwise motion of the wheel.

Pitch itch

Holding the PITCH button and turning the
parameter knob allows you to change change
the key of the current song from “L” (lower
key) to “H” (higher key) in 40 semitone
increments (with 0 being no key change).

Mode ode

Multi-mode Trigger Buttons

By pressing the circular MODE button, you can choose the desired mode for the three trigger buttons
shown above. There are three modes available:

LOOP-2: In this mode the three trigger buttons act as another set of loop buttons that

HOT CUE: This mode will allow you to set up to three "hot cue points". These are similar to

SAMPLE: The third mode is sample mode. Sample mode allows you to record an audio

behave in the same way as the buttons above them. This gives you the ability to
set two completely separate sets of loop points. For more information on
looping, see the following chapter.

regular cue points, except that when the trigger buttons are pressed, the unit will
instantly jump to the defined point and begin playing.

To define a hot cue point, make sure you are in hot cue mode by pressing the
circular MODE button until “Mode:Hot CUE” is displayed on the lower portion of
the screen. Press REC to arm recording, then press the desired trigger button.
Whatever point you are at on the CD at the moment you press the trigger button
is the point that will be recorded to the trigger button. To instantly start playing
from your hot cue point just press the same trigger button again.

sample up to 5 seconds long, on each of the 3 trigger buttons.

To record a sample, first make sure you are in sample mode by pressing the
round MODE button until the display shows “Mode:SAMPLES”. Next, press and
release REC to arm recording. Then, when you press one of the three trigger
buttons, the unit will begin recording until you either press that trigger button
again to stop recording or you run out of sample space.

To play back your sample, just press the appropriate trigger button. Buttons
with samples assigned to them will be lit while unused buttons will be dark.

There are also three playback options you can choose for each of the three
sample trigger buttons. To choose a mode, hold the REC button, then while
continuing to hold REC, hold the desired trigger button and turn the parameter
knob to select the option you want to change. To modify the selected option,
press down and release the parameter knob then turn the knob to the desired
setting. Press down on the parameter knob to lock in that option choice

The three playback options are:

Sample Insert (On, Off): Determines whether the sample will override the

currently playing audio source or if it will be mixed together with the
currently playing audio source. With ‘On’ selected, the sample will
override the playing audio, while with ‘Off’ selected, the sample will be
mixed in with the playing audio.

Sample Reverse (On, Off): When on, this option will play the sample in

reverse.

Mix Value (0-100): This setting controls the volume of the sample when

played back.

Looping

The iCDX has a seamless looping feature, which means that if you define a loop, there is no delay when
the music loops back to the beginning. This looping feature allows you to be very creative with your
mixes, allowing you to extend desired sections of a song for as long as you want, or create remixes on the
fly!

There are three buttons used for looping:

IN: This is the point where you would like a loop to start. By default, a “loop in” point is automatically set
at the beginning of the song. To define a new "loop in" point, press the IN button when the song reaches
the desired point where you would like a loop to begin. The IN button will light, indicating a new "loop in"
point has been set. The RELOOP/STUTTER button will also illuminate indicating that you can now press it
to immediately go back to the "loop in" point and begin playing. If you wish to change the "loop in" point,
just press the IN button again.

OUT: Sets the end point of the loop. The first time you press OUT while a song is playing, the OUT button
will blink, and the song will begin playing in a seamless loop, starting from the “loop in” point and ending
at the “loop out” point. To release, or end the loop, press OUT a second time and play will continue
forward when the song passes the previously set loop out point. The OUT button will then be continuously
lit, indicating that the loop is now in memory for re-looping purposes.

RELOOP / STUTTER: Repeats play or “stutters” (if repeatedly tapped) from the loop in point. If a loop
has previously been set, it plays and repeats that loop, until the loop is released by pressing the OUT
button.

SHIFT: Adjusts the loop length by half length or double length increments. Move the shift switch to the
right to increase loop length or to the left to shorten the loop.

Hint: The assignable 1-2-3 trigger buttons can be used as a second set of loop buttons. Read the
preceding chapter for more information on these multi-mode trigger buttons.

Press LOOP IN to set the beginning of the
loop, then press LOOP OUT to set the end
point of the loop. Once you press LOOP
out, the iCDX will loop between these two
points. If you press LOOP OUT again, the
iCDX will exit the loop and continue playing
normally.

8

If you press LOOP IN
but then decide you
want to set a different
"loop in" point, just
press LOOP IN again.
Then press LOOP OUT
to start looping
between the IN and
OUT points.

The "loop in" point can also be
used as a way to "stutter" play
beginning from a certain point in
a song. Just press LOOP IN to
set the "stutter point", then press
RELOOP/STUTTER to begin play
from the stutter point. Each time
you press RELOOP/STUTTER the
iCDX will jump back to the stutter
point and play from that point.

Effects

Use the F/X SELECT switch to choose the desired effect. Press the F/X button to toggle the effect on
and off. You can use the WET/DRY fader to adjust the effect presence in the mix. Most effects can by
synched to a ratio of the BPM counter by holding down the parameter knob while turning it, or
controlled manually by turning the parameter knob without holding it down.

There are five effects available:

FILTER: An isolation (band pass) filter that lets you play only a specific frequency of the music.

ECHO: Creates a reverb effect. The rate can be adjusted with the parameter knob. Holding

CHOP: Simulates turning a mute button on and off in time with the music. The speed of the

PHASER: Sweeping phase shifter effect. It is similar to the flange effect, except that the flange

FLANGER: Sweeping effect with a more pronounced harmonic sound than the phaser, reminiscent

Wet/Dry Fader

In addition to the parameter knob there is also a WET/DRY fader that allows you to adjust the balance
between effected and unaffected audio. As you move the fader from DRY to WET you will more and
more of the effected sound.

Rotation of the parameter knob moves the filter frequency. If you press down on the
parameter knob while turning it performs a coarse adjustment to the frequency. If
you just turn the parameter knob without holding it down it will perform a fine
adjustment of the filter frequency.

down the parameter knob while turning will allow you to synch the effect to a ratio of
the BPM counter.

effect is controlled by turning the parameter knob and can also be synched to a ratio
of the BPM counter by pressing down on the parameter knob while turning it.

PAN: Alternates playing the right then left speaker channel based on either the tempo of the

BPM counter or the speed selected manually. To set the rate, turn the parameter
knob. You can synch the speed to a ratio of the BPM counter by pressing down on the
parameter knob while turning it.

effect has a more pronounced harmonic sound, reminiscent of a jet engine passing
overhead. A phase shifter is enharmonic, and has a more “swooshing” sound. The
speed of the effect is controlled turning by the parameter knob and can also be
synched to a ratio of the BPM counter by pressing down on the knob while turning it.

USB Master Mode

By connecting a USB mass storage class device such as a USB hard drive, keychain drive or portable
media player to the MASTER USB connector on the back of the iCDX, you can access, play, and scratch
your music files in the same way you might play a normal audio CD.

To access your USB device:

1. First make sure it is connected to the USB MASTER connector on the back panel of the
iCDX.

2. Press and release the SRC button.

3. Turn the parameter knob until the display indicates "USB-MASTER", then press down on
the parameter knob.

4. After the iCDX has first analyzed the partition structure (max 9 partitions), then analyzed
the folder structure (max 999 folders) of the USB device, you can then navigate through
your USB device by following the instructions below.

Note: Make sure that your USB device is formatted using either the HFS+ or the FAT file system. The
iCDX will not recognize devices that are formatted NTFS. NTFS is a non-open source Microsoft
proprietary file system that cannot be read by third party companies. When using Microsoft Windows
to format a USB device larger than 32GB, you may need to use a third-party program to format using
the FAT file system.

USB Mass Storage Device

To access files on a USB mass storage class device, use the track knob to choose which folder you want
to open, then press down on the knob to enter that folder. You can then use the track knob to either
navigate to another folder level or choose an audio file in the current folder that you want to play.

Hint: To organize a large music collection you might consider creating a separate folder for each artist.

Please note:

 Because not all MP3 devices are USB mass storage class, not every player will be

compatible with the iCDX.

 If there are no MP3 files inside a folder you are browsing on your external device, the iCDX

will display “No MP3 files in this folder, PLS try another one.”

 To change MP3 display mode, hold the TIME button and press the MODE button to toggle

between file name, ID3 song title, ID3 album title and ID3 artist name.

Apple iPod

To access songs on an iPod, your songs must first be stored in playlists (unless you are using the iPod
shuffle*). Playlists can be created using iTunes and some third party programs designed to access the
iPod. Each playlist will appear as a separate folder on the iCDX. Once the iPod is connected, use the
track knob to choose which playlist you want to use, and then press down on the track knob to enter
that playlist. Once in a playlist, use the track knob to choose which song you want to play. To choose
a different playlist, press the BACK button to back out to the main list of playlists. For more
information on creating playlists on your iPod, please check the HELP section of your Apple iTunes
software.

* If you are using the iPod Shuffle, the songs are directly accessible, and playlists are not possible or
required.

Tips For Using USB Devices With Your iCDX

• When disconnecting a USB device from the iCDX, always make sure to use the SOURCE (SRC)
button to switch to CD/MP3 mode before disconnecting. Make sure that the letters "HD" are not
blinking on the display when disconnecting a USB device.

• Disconnecting a USB device while the iCDX is in USB MASTER mode could possibly cause data on the
USB device to become corrupted and unreadable.

• After disconnecting an Apple iPod, you must wait until the iPod has returned to its main menu before
you reconnect it to the iCDX or it may not be recognized by the iCDX.

• Note: There is a limit of 999 songs per folder or playlist. Use multiple folders or playlists to
separate large numbers of songs.

• When using an iPod, your music files MUST be in playlists to be accessible via the iCDX. This rule
does not apply to USB Hard drives, keychain drives, etc.

• We do not recommend using MP3 files over 300MB as this may affect the performace of the iCDX.

• When using DVD MP3 discs, the iCDX supports the ISO9660 format, UDF format is not supported.

• For large capacity HD, the iCDX can read a maximum of 9 disc partitions. Each partition is limited to

999 folders, and each folder is limited to 999 songs.

10

USB H.I.D. Mode

You can also connect the iCDX to a computer via USB to use the iCDX as a controller for software
programs that are compliant with the USB Human Interface Device protocol such as Numark Cue DJ
software. Check with your software manufacturer to find out if your software supports a USB HID
controller.

To activate HID mode, connect a USB cable from the iCDX USB SLAVE connector to a USB port on your
computer. Then press SRC and turn the parameter knob to select USB_HID.
