USING OTHER SOFTWARE PROGRAMS

When using other software programs with MIXDECK QUAD, if you experience too much latency after adjusting your software latency settings, we recommend the free ASIO4ALL (Audio Stream Input/Output) driver for PC at www.asio4all.com. ASIO drivers generally perform better and with lower latency since they create a more efficient communication between audio devices and software.

COMPATIBLE iOS DEVICES

MIXDECK QUAD is compatible with the following iOS devices (not included):

• iPhone 4S

• iPhone 4

• iPad 2

• iPad

• iPod touch (4th generation)

DECK FEATURES

1. EJECT – Press this button to eject the CD. If a CD is currently

playing, this button will have no effect.

2. USB – Connect your favorite USB storage device to this

connector to allow the MIXDECK QUAD to read and play back your music files. The MIXDECK QUAD 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 MIXDECK QUAD.

Note: MIXDECK QUAD supports the HFS+, FAT and NTFS files systems. HFS+ GUID Partition Table is not supported at this time.

3. SOURCE – Press the SOURCE button and turn the

PARAMETER knob to choose which audio source you want to play; CD, USB, USB-MIDI (when using MIXDECK QUAD as a USB MIDI controller for external software). This button will not function if the MIXDECK QUAD is currently playing.

4. TRACK KNOB – Used to skip from track to track, for folder

navigation and as an "enter" button.

5. BACK – When navigating a CD or device with folders, this

button will take you back to the previous level (folder).

6. PLAY – Starts the music. The music will begin playing from

either the cue point or the last point of pause. Pressing this button while the unit is playing will restart the song from the last set cue point, which can be used to create a "stutter" effect.

7. PAUSE – Stops the music while in play. Pressing play

following this sets a new cue point. Holding down the button while scratching or stuttering the music will stop the music at the current position, allowing you to capture a loop in or cue point.

8. CUE – Returns and pauses the music at the last set cue point. The cue point is the last place in which the unit was

paused and then play was pressed. Pressing a second time allows for temporary play of this point. You can easily edit the cue point by turning the wheel. As you rotate the wheel the music will sound. By stopping the wheel and pressing play a new point is set.

9. JOG WHEEL – The jog wheel serves many functions depending on its current mode.

a) If a track is not playing, the JOG WHEEL will search slowly through a track's frames. To set a new cue point,

rotate the JOG WHEEL then begin playback when you have determined the proper position. Press CUE to return to that cue point.

b) If a track is playing, the JOG WHEEL will temporarily bend the pitch of the track. Rotating the JOG WHEEL

clockwise temporarily speeds it up while rotating it counterclockwise slows it down. This is a useful tool for beat-

matching. c) When the SEARCH button has been activated, rotating the JOG WHEEL will scan rapidly through the track. d) When the SCRATCH button has been activated, rotating the JOG WHEEL will "scratch" over the audio of the

track, like a needle on a record.

10. SCRATCH – Turns scratch mode on or off. If scratch mode is on, the button will light up and the center part of the jog

wheel will scratch like a turntable when you spin it. If scratch mode is off, the center part of the jog wheel will pitch bend when you spin it.

To change the scratch mode or style, hold down SCRATCH and turn the PARAMETER knob.

11. SEARCH – When engaged, search mode will allow you to use the center of the jog wheel to quickly scan through the

current track. If you do not touch the wheel for 8 seconds you will automatically exit search mode. Search speed can be adjusted by holding the SEARCH button and turning the PARAMETER knob.

To adjust how quickly SEARCH scans through your tracks, hold down SEARCH and turn the PARAMETER knob.

12. STOP / START TIME – Use these knobs to adjust the speed that the music starts when you press play (START TIME)

or the speed that the music stops when you press pause (STOP TIME).

13. TAP – Pressing this button in time with the beat will help the built-in BPM counter detect the proper tempo. Holding the

button for 2 seconds will cause the BPM counter to reset and recalculate.

14. RANGE/KEY LOCK/% – The pitch button controls the range of the pitch fader as well as enabling and disabling key lock

mode. Press and release the pitch button to cycle through pitch fader settings of +/- 6%, 12%, 25% and 100%. You can also disable the pitch fader by pressing the pitch button again after selecting 100%.

The other function of this button is key lock. To engage key lock mode, hold the pitch button for two seconds. This feature allows you to change the speed of the song without changing the key. The key of the song will lock to whatever position the pitch fader is at when key lock is engaged. To change the key of a song manually, hold PITCH / KEY LOCK and turn the PARAMETER knob.

15. PITCH FADER – This controls the speed of the music. Moving towards the "+" will speed the music up, while moving

towards the "-" will slow it down. The percentage of pitch adjustment is shown on the display.

16. PITCH BEND – Allows you to briefly adjust the speed of the music faster or slower for as long as the button is held.

Useful for quick speed adjustments to help match the beats of two songs that might be at the same tempo but have beats that hit at slightly different times.

17. BLEEP / REVERSE SWITCH – Use this if you want to play a CD backwards. "Bleep" mode will play the music in reverse

out of the buffer while the CD timer continues to advance. When you release the switch, the CD will continue to play where it would have been if you had not engaged the switch. "Reverse" mode will play music in reverse and the CD time will also count backwards.

18. LOOP IN / OUT / RELOOP – These buttons are used to define your beginning and ending loop points (LOOP IN and

LOOP OUT) or to replay or restart your loop (RELOOP). For more information about this feature please see the looping section of this manual.

19. TRIGGER BUTTONS – These buttons can be used for 3 possible functions, chosen by holding the REC button and

turning the PARAMETER knob. For more information see the "Multi Mode Trigger Buttons" section later in this manual.

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.

PITCH

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).

Search speed can be adjusted by holding SEARCH and rotating the PARAMETER knob. Options based upon 1 wheel rotation are 15 seconds, 30 seconds, and 1 minute.

PROGRAM / PARAMETER OPTIONS

Holding the PROGRAM button and turning the PARAMETER knob will bring you to the following menu options. Pressing down on the PARAMETER knob will allow you to modify the parameters for the menu option that you have selected:

Scratch Delay (On, Off): Activates a slight delay when releasing the platter in Scratch Mode. Power On Play (On, Off): When on, this option will cause the CD player to begin playing as soon as the power is turned on. Memo All Clear (No, Yes): Clears all stored cue points and loop point information. Sleep Mode (On, Off): When sleep mode is engaged the unit will go into a "sleep" state after a few minutes of inactivity. Preset Clear (Yes, No): Reset all global parameters to their default settings. Version Number: When the PARAMETER knob is pressed, the operating system version numbers will be displayed for as

long as the PROG button is held.

illuminate in a pattern as soon as the unit is powered on.

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 regular

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

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.

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 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.

to 5 seconds long, on each of the 3 TRIGGER BUTTON.

To record a sample, first make sure you are in sample mode by pressing the 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. Sample Volume (0-100): This setting controls the volume of the sample when

played back.

LOOPING

The MIXDECK QUAD 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:

LOOP 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 LOOP IN button when the song reaches the desired point where you would like a loop to begin. The LOOP 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 LOOP IN button again.

LOOP OUT: Sets the end point of the loop. The first time you press LOOP OUT while a song is playing, the LOOP 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 LOOP OUT a second time and play will continue forward when the song passes the previously set loop out point. The LOOP 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 LOOP 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 MIXDECK QUAD will loop between these two points. If you press LOOP OUT again, the MIXDECK QUAD will

exit the loop and continue playing normally.

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 to begin play from the stutter point. Each time you press RELOOP the MIXDECK QUAD will jump back to the stutter point and play from that point.

EFFECTS

Use the FX SELECT switch to choose the desired effect. Press the EFFECTS 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 six effects available:

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

ECHO: Creates a delay effect. The rate can be adjusted with the PARAMETER knob. Holding down the

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

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

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

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.

USB MASTER MODE

By connecting a USB mass storage class device such as a USB hard drive, thumb drive or portable media player to the MASTER USB connector on the top of the MIXDECK QUAD, 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 top panel of the MIXDECK QUAD.

2. Press and release the SOURCE button.

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

4. After the MIXDECK QUAD 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.

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 MIXDECK

QUAD.

• If there are no MP3 files inside a folder you are browsing on your external device, the MIXDECK QUAD will display "No

MP3 files in this folder, PLS try another one."

• To change MP3 display mode, hold the RECALL / STORE button and press the (PLAY) MODE button to toggle between

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

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.

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

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.

Note: MIXDECK QUAD supports the HFS+, FAT and NTFS files systems. HFS+ GUID Partition Table is not supported at this time.

Tips For Using USB Devices With Your MIXDECK QUAD

• When disconnecting a USB device from the MIXDECK QUAD, always make sure to use the SOURCE 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 MIXDECK QUAD is in USB MASTER Mode could possibly cause data on the

USB device to become corrupted and unreadable.

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

songs.

• We do not recommend using MP3 files over 300MB as this may affect the performance of the MIXDECK QUAD.

• For large capacity HD, the MIXDECK QUAD can read a maximum of 9 disc partitions. Each partition is limited to 999

folders, and each folder is limited to 999 songs.

USB MIDI MODE

You can also connect the MIXDECK QUAD to a computer via USB to use the MIXDECK QUAD's CD decks as controllers for software programs that are compliant with USB MIDI protocol. Check with your software manufacturer to find out if your software supports a USB MIDI controller.

To activate USB MIDI mode, connect a USB cable from the MIXDECK QUAD USB SLAVE connector to a USB port on your computer. Then press SOURCE and turn the parameter knob to select "USB-MIDI."
