PARAMETER KNOB FEATURES

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 JOG WHEEL to scratch just like you would with a vinyl record. When you press
on 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.

Cue: Scratches from the current cue point. Each time you touch the JOG WHEEL, 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 counterclockwise motion of the wheel.

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 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

To turn Relay Mode on and off, hold the rectangular MODE button and turn the PARAMETER knob to select the appropriate
relay setting. Relay Mode will allow you to alternate play between 2 compatible units connected via a 1/8" mono relay/remote
cable.

SEARCH

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

using a remote start cable.
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.
Power On Demo (On, Off): When this option is on, the unit will go into a "demo mode" where the platter LEDs will

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:

HOT CUE:

SAMPLE:

In this mode the three TRIGGER BUTTONS act as another set of loop buttons that
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.

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

The third mode is sample mode. Sample mode allows you to record an audio sample up
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 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.
Sample Volume (0-100): This setting controls the volume of the sample when

played back.

LOOPING

The NDX800 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 NDX800 will
loop between these two points. If you press LOOP
OUT again, the NDX800 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 NDX800 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:

ECHO:

CHOP:

PHASER:

FLANGER:

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.

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

Creates a reverb effect. The rate can be adjusted with the PARAMETER knob. Holding down
the PARAMETER knob while turning will allow you to synch the effect to a ratio of the BPM
counter.

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

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

PAN:

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.

Sweeping phase shifter effect. It is similar to the flange effect, except that the flange effect has a
more pronounced harmonic sound. A phase shifter is enharmonic, and has a more "swooshing"
sound. The speed of the 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 knob while turning it.

Sweeping effect with a more pronounced harmonic sound than the phaser, reminiscent of a jet
engine passing overhead. 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.
