Devices & File Analysis
Mixstream Pro can play music files from USB drives, SD cards, or connected streaming and cloud services. Make
sure you are using only the supported file systems (for USB drives or SD cards) and file formats (for music files) listed
below.
Supported file systems:
exFAT (recommended), FAT32
Supported file formats:
Although Mixstream Pro can play tracks that have not been analyzed yet, pre-analyzing them allows its features to
work most effectively. You can analyze tracks in one of two ways:
• On Mixstream Pro, load the track: When you load a track to play, Mixstream Pro will automatically analyze
it (if it has not already been analyzed). This may take a moment to complete, depending on the length of the
track. You can start playing the track from the beginning immediately, though you will need to wait a
moment for the analysis to finish.
• Use Engine DJ software: The included Engine DJ software can pre-analyze your music library to use with
Mixstream Pro. You can also use it to organize your library and manage your Mixstream Pro hardware
preferences (see Operation to learn more about this).
Visit enginedj.com/downloads and find the Software section to download the Engine DJ software.

Eject Anyway to eject it.

User Profile
Tap the Save To My Drive button to save your settings to a connected drive. User profiles can be loaded when a
media device with an Engine DJ profile is connected to Mixstream Pro.
Playback
• Track Start Position: This setting determines where the beginning of a track is after it loads. Select the actual
start of the file (Track Start) or the automatically detected beginning of an audio signal (Cue Position).
• Default Speed Range: This setting determines the range of the pitch fader. Select ±4%, 8%, 10%, 20% or
50%.
• Sync Mode: This setting determines the degree of synchronization applied when you press the Sync button on
Mixstream Pro:
o Bar: The tempo will be synced, and the track will be automatically bar-matched with the track on the primary
deck (the downbeats of each bar will be aligned).
o Beat: The tempo will be synced, and the track will be automatically beat-matched with the track on the
primary deck.
o Tempo: Only the tempo will be synced (the BPM will match that of the primary deck).
• Sync Button Action: This setting determines how the Sync button will act when pressed.
o Toggle: This mode allows you to toggle sync on and off without having to hold Shift.
o Shift Disable: This mode requires Shift to be held in order to turn off sync.
• Pitch Control Type: This setting determines the primary function of the Pitch Bend buttons. Select Pitch Bend
to keep the primary function as momentarily reducing or increasing the pitch, or select Range to set the primary
function to adjusting the range of the pitch fader. The function not used as the primary will still be available by
holding Shift and using the Pitch Bend buttons.
Cues/Loops
• Cue/
Loop Quantization: This setting determines the degree of quantization for time-based features. Select 1/8
beat, 1/4 beat, 1/2 beat, 1 beat or 4 beats.
• Paused Hot Cue Behavior: This setting determines how pads will play their hot cue points. When set to
Momentary, playback will start from a hot cue point when you press and hold its pad—release the pad to return
to the hot cue point. When set to Trigger, playback will start from a hot cue point (and continue) when you press
and release its pad.
• Smart Loops: This setting determines whether or not a manual loop will be automatically expanded or reduced
to a conventional length (e.g., 2 beats, 4 beats, 8 beats, etc.) when you set it. Select On or Off. This setting
works independently of the quantization setting.
• Move Cue To Loop In: This setting determines whether the song's initial Cue Point will automatically be moved
to the start of a loop (On), or remain at its current point (Off).
21
Display
• Track Title: This setting determines whether track titles are shown as the track's Filename or its embedded
Metadata (tags).
• Time Format: This setting determines whether or not pitch adjustment affects how the track time is displayed.
When set to Static, the track’s time corresponds to locations in the track as usual; adjusting the pitch does not
affect it. When set to Dynamic, the track’s time will automatically adjust to account for changes in pitch. For
instance, if you set the pitch fader to -8%, the track time will increase so it is 8% longer.
• Track End Warning: This setting determines how long before the end of a track Mixstream Pro will warn you
that it is nearing the end by flashing the track overview on the touchscreen.
Safety
• Lock Playing Deck: This setting determines whether or not you will be able to load a track to the deck as it is
playing. Select On or Off. When this setting is on, the deck must be paused in order to load a track to it.
• Needle Lock: This setting determines whether or not you can tap the track overview on the touchscreen to jump
to that location in the track during playback. Select On or Off. You can use the track overview while playback is
stopped regardless of this setting.
• Pad Lock: This setting determines whether the pads and pad mode buttons are always enabled (Off) or disabled
(On). When disabled, the pads and pad mode buttons will not be lit.
Library
• Key Notation: This setting determines how the track key is notated on the touchscreen. You can view the key as
all Sharps, all Flats, Open Key or Camelot.
• Key Filter: This setting determines whether the Key filter shows tracks with the same key only (Match) or tracks
with compatible keys (Compatible).
• BPM Range: This setting determines the lowest- and highest-possible BPM values that will be used when tracks
are analyzed: 58
–115, 68–135, 78–155, 88–175 or 98–195 BPM.
• BPM Filter Tolerance: This setting determines the “tolerance” of the BPM filter so you can include tracks with
tempos that are within a small range of the selected tempo. Select ±0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, or 15.
• Collection Browse Behavior: This setting determines browsing behavior when using the Library. When set to
Select, tapping a playlist or folder will select it, and a double-tap is required to open it. When set to Open, tapping
a playlist or folder will open it.
