collocano i CD che uno desidera ascoltare
(play) qui dentro. Questa unità è
progettata per utilizzare dei CD disponibili
nel commercio e dei CDR iscritti e finalizzati
correttamente. A causa delle variazioni
nelle specificazioni dei diversi iscrittori
(burner) di CD e dei CD stessi, certi CD
manufatti potrebbero non funzionare
correttamente.

25. Power Switch – questo è il pulsante che
permette di accendere e di spegnere
l’apparecchio. L’unità deve essere spenta
sempre con questo pulsante prima che
qualsiasi cavo di alimentazione sia tolto.
Tipicamente, si raccomanda che il CD
player sia acceso prima degli amplificatori e
spento dopo gli amplificatori per evitare che
un choc audio sia trasmesso tramite
l’equipaggiamento.

BASIC OPERATIONS

Open/Close: Press to load or eject the disc. The drawer will

automatically close to protect the tray from accidental damage
while open. NOTE: Tray will not open if the disc is in play.

In order to program the automatic close time press and hold
“PROG” followed by “OPEN/CLOSE”. The display will indicate
options of 30 seconds, 60 seconds, 120 seconds, and (no) for no
auto close. This setting will be remembered at power down.

Play/Stutter: Starts the music from either the first set cue point or

the last point of pause. By starting from the last pause point
while the unit is paused a new cue point is set. Pressing this
button while the unit is in play restarts the unit from the last cue
point, creating a “stutter” effect.

Startup speed of initial play can be adjusted by pressing “PROG”
followed by “PLAY/STUTTER” and then rotating the wheel until
the desired seconds of startup are shown. Pressing “PROG”
followed by “PLAY/STUTTER” twice will toggle startup between
0 to the desired seconds. This setting will be remembered at
power down.

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.

Pause speed (BRAKING) can be adjusted, by pressing “PROG”
followed by “PAUSE” and then rotating the wheel until the
desired seconds of startup are shown. Pressing “PROG” followed
by “PAUSE” twice will toggle startup from 0 to the desired
seconds. This setting will be remembered at power down.

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.

The sound during wheel rotation can be adjusted from a smooth
“scratch” sound to the traditional “stutter” sound. To alternate
modes hold “PROG” followed by “CUE”. The display will indicate

will go away when the style of cue is stutter. This setting will be
remembered at power down.

when the scratch sound is active. This indication

Time: switches the time modes on the display between elapsed

playing time, remaining time on the track and remaining time on
the entire CD. This setting will be remembered at power down.

Single: toggles the unit to play back just one track at a time (single)

or play continuously through all tracks and then start over
repeating the CD infinitely (continuous). This setting will be

remembered at power down.

You have an option for eliminating the dead space at the end of
tracks during continuous mode. The unit already automatically
removes dead space at the beginning of tracks. End of track dead
space elimination is useful if you are playing a CD continuously
and want to eliminate all the gaps between songs. Press
“PROG” followed by “SGL”. The display will indicate “ ”
when the function is set to eliminate space and indicates “

tracks. This setting will be remembered at power down.

Track Selection: Rotate the dial to quickly find the desired track. To

advance by +10, press the knob while rotating.

You can also pre program the desired sequence of songs Track
sequence programming can be done by pressing “PROG” while
the unit is stopped and “ ” will light. Select each
track to be programmed then press “PROG” between selections.
Press “PLAY/STUTTER” to start the track sequence program
playing. To exit and erase program hold “PROG” for more than 2
seconds while the unit is stopped, open the disc tray, or turn off
the power.

Search: Pressing the “TRACK” selector changes the

mode of the jog wheel to a search mode. Search
will remain active while the wheel is being moved
and for 8 seconds after. Moving the wheel clockwise
rapidly moves forward through the music.
Counterclockwise moves backwards through the
music. There are 2 search speeds depending upon
wheel rotation speed.

SETTING CUE POINTS

PLAY and CUE

Pressing the “PLAY” button starts the disc. Pressing the “CUE” button will
reset the disc to the last place where the disc was started. This is called the
cue point. By alternately pressing the “PLAY” button and the “CUE” button,
the disc may be returned and played from the cue point any number of times.
This function is called back cue.

PLAY, PAUSE and CUE

When pressing “PLAY” to start then pressing “PAUSE” and then “PLAY”
again, a new cue point will be set. Pressing “CUE” will return to the last pause
position and will be the new cue point.

EDITING CUE POINT

When the jog wheel is turned while paused, a new cue point can be located.
By pressing “PLAY” while paused that point will be set. By pressing “PLAY”
again (STUTTER) the point can be checked as desirable.

CUE/LOOP POINT STORAGE AND RECALL

To SAVE Cue and Loop points on the current CD:

• CD should still be in the drawer with cue and loop points set.

• Press “PROG” + .

• Cue points are stored and LCD shows "CUE STORE" for 1 second.

• If MIDI OUT is connected to the MIDI in of another CD player’s MIDI

To RECALL Cue points on the current CD:

To TRANSFER stored cue points from another unit:

IN, the cue point is stored on the other CD player.

• Press “PROG” + .

• If CD player is open, it will automatically close and LCD will show "CUE

FETCH" to indicate cue point loading.

• If CD is already in the player, it will stop the current function and show

"CUE FETCH" to indicate cue point loading ".

• All cue, loop in, and loop out points are restored along with the BPM

and downbeat for immediate access to beatkeeper functions.

• If the CD doesn't have cue points stored on the CD player, then the

LCD will show "NO FETCH.

• “No Disc” should be in the player you want to get the points into,

(Player A).

• The CD Player needing cue points, (Player A), should be looped via

MIDI to another CD player with the cue points already stored (Player
B).

• Press “PROG” + on Player A to retrieve cue points from Player

B.

• Player B will flash "CUE FETCH" and send all of its cue points to Player

A

• Player A will then flash "CUE STORE" and store all cue points received.

Notes:

• If over 1024 CDs have cue points written, the oldest cue points are

overwritten.

• If the same CD is found with other cue points, the old cue point data is

replaced by the new cue point data.

THE BEATKEEPER™ III

The AXIS 9 includes the latest Numark patented Beatkeeper™ technology. The
Beatkeeper™ automatically tracks beats based upon a combination of
frequencies and rhythm patterns in the music. It shows BPM in the display and
outputs 4-count (a.k.a. measure) information about the music in a marching
bar graph.

The Bar Graph: Most dance music and rock is set up in 4 beat

increments called measures. Many of the features within the
AXIS-8 use this information for incredible results. It’s important
to understand the basics of how the Beatkeeper works to
effectively take advantage of other advanced features in the unit.
The bottom LED is for the 1st beat or “Down Beat”. Typically,
most music starts on the downbeat so the unit sets the first beat
to where the music begins. Occasionally this may not be correct or
you may wish to reset it. To reset the downbeat simply tap the
“BPM” button at the new downbeat location as the music is
playing or while in pause.

BPM: This button is used for resetting the downbeat and also re-

calibrating the BPM. The Beatkeeper is considered by many to be
the most accurate automatic beat counter on the market today,
however, it occasionally may have trouble determining the correct
BPM. This can happen when the music contains complex rhythms,
or if it starts without a beat at all. If you know the BPM showing
in the display is incorrect, or if the beat LEDs are not flashing with
the beat, you have 2 options to reset the Beatkeeper.

1. Tap “BPM” on the downbeat and hold for a second. This will
tell the unit to search and display the next BPM it finds.

2. If holding the “BPM” button doesn’t work you can manually
tap “BPM” on the beat and the display will indicate the new
BPM. The BPM will be based upon the average of your last 8
taps. The Beatkeeper will then know which beats in the
music it should be using to determine the correct BPM and it
will track them through the song.

Occasionally the unit will be tracking the wrong beat but have the
correct BPM. To reset the downbeat, simply tap the “BPM”
button once on the downbeat.

-8-

ADJUSTING PITCH/ALIGNING BEATS

Pitch Button: Activates the pitch slider and adjusts the amount of

control the pitch slider has on the overall speed of music.
Pressing “PITCH” will toggle the slider on and off. Range
adjustments of 6, 12, 25, and 100% can be achieved by

holding down “PITCH” and then pressing to cycle
through the range options. This setting will be remembered
at power down.

Pitch Slider: By moving the slider toward “+” the speed of the

music speeds up. By moving toward “-” the speed slows
down. With 100% control the music can be stopped or played
at 2 times original speed. To match the speeds of two units
you can either monitor the music of both units by ear or use
the automatic BPM readout and adjust the pitch to match.

When the tempo of the music of the CD you wish to match is
slow compared to the tempo of the other music, move the
slider to the (+) end and match the BPM.

When faster, move the pitch slider to the (-) end. By making
this adjustment the speeds will be matched though the beats
may not yet be aligned.

Pitch Bend: Buttons and Jog Wheel: Allows the user to

temporarily change the speed of the music to align beats.

or

When the beats of the music of the CD you wish to match are

fast compared to the tempo of the other music press the
button or rotate the jog wheel counter clockwise (to the left).

or

When PLAYER 2 is behind press the button or rotate the
jog wheel clockwise (to the right). The pitch changes

temporarily while the or buttons are being pressed or
the jog wheel is rotated.

The faster you rotate the wheel or the longer you hold the
buttons the more you change the speed. Releasing the button
or wheel results in a return to the original pitch.

-9-

LOOPING OPERATIONS

A loop is any area of a CD that you choose to repeat seamlessly. On the AXIS
8/9 two seamless loops are possible.

LOOP IN: is the point where you wish for the loop to start. The initial

“CUE” or “PLAY” point of the CD is also the default “LOOP IN” point for
both loops or “Hot Start” point. If you wish to set a new “LOOP IN”
point, just press “LOOP IN” while the CD is playing when it reaches
the desired point. The “LOOP IN” button will light indicating a new

loop is set. The “RELOOP/STUTTER” button and in the
display will also illuminate indicating a point has been set and is
accessible for “STUTTER”. By default the “LOOP IN” also becomes the

“STUTTER” or “HOT START” point.

The CD Player will always remember a new set point as the “LOOP IN”
or “HOT START” point until you actually set a new “LOOP IN” point or
put in a new CD. The new point will be accessible until you remove the
CD from the unit. If you change tracks and you previously set a “Loop
In” on another track, pressing “RELOOP/STUTTER” will jump to that
point.

LOOP OUT: is the end point for a loop. The first time you press “LOOP

OUT” while a CD is in play mode, the “LOOP OUT” LED will turn on

and flash while the song automatically returns to the “LOOP IN” point
with no breaks and continues to play. When the song reaches the
“LOOP OUT” point again it returns to the “LOOP IN” point and
continues to repeat this action. You will notice the “LOOP IN” LED will
also be flashing during loop action. 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”
LED will be lit solid indicating that the LOOP is now in memory for
“RELOOP” purposes.

-10-

Note: The “LOOP OUT” point will be erased if “LOOP IN” is pressed or
a new “CUE” point is set after the “LOOP OUT” point. This is important
because without this point, “RELOOP” will not be possible.

MOVING LOOP POINTS

The “LOOP IN” point can be moved while the music is playing just by
pressing “LOOP IN” at the new desired point. The next time “LOOP OUT”
is reached the CD will return to this new “LOOP IN” point. If “LOOP IN”
is press after the “LOOP OUT” point it will clear the “LOOP OUT” point.
The “LOOP IN” point can also be edited while paused. First hold down “CUE”
then press “LOOP IN” to move to the loop in point. Next rotate the wheel
to search for a new cue point and then press “LOOP IN” again to set the
new point. Check your point by pressing “RELOOP/STUTTER”.

The “LOOP OUT” point can also be moved while a loop is playing. Press
“LOOP OUT” to release the old “LOOP OUT” point and pressing it again at
the new desired point.

SMART LOOPING

The Beatkeeper and Looping can work together to set perfect loops every
time. In order to work correctly first properly align the Beatkeeper™ on
the beat. To activate smart looping hold down “PROG” followed by
“RELOOP/STUTTER” at the same time. After this has been done all
loop points and stuttering will play perfectly to the beat of the music.

-11-

RELOOP/STUTTER: 2 functions depending on loop setting.

“RELOOP” is only possible if “LOOP” points have been previously set.

The “RELOOP” function automatically returns the music to the “LOOP
IN” point and will play the loop until it is released with the “LOOP OUT”
button.

“STUTTER” starts instant play from previously set “Hot” points. Simply

set your stutter (Hot Start) point by follow the directions for setting
loop in because the points are the same. Remember the button

serves also for the reloop function so if a loop out has been set
the unit will also loop until released. This function lets you set 3

Hot Start points. The first is based on the “PLAY” cue point and the
second two are based upon “LOOP IN”. Since the default “LOOP IN”
points are also the initial start point your unit can be “stutter” started
from up to 3 buttons.

Note: The CD Player will always remember a new set “Hot” points until you
actually set a new “LOOP IN” point or put in a new CD. The new point will be
accessible until you remove the CD from the unit. If you change tracks and you
previously set a “Loop In” on another track, pressing “RELOOP/STUTTER” will
jump to that point.

-12-

KEY LOCK / KEY CHANGE

The AXIS 9 uses Numark exclusive technology to lock the key of the music
in place at the current pitch position or change it from the current position.
This is different than “master tempo” often found on many modern units
because the key lock to the current pitch position and not automatically set
to the “0” pitch position. By doing this we have allowed you to activate
this function while playing without changing the key.

Key Lock: Pressing “KEY” holds the key in place. The display will

indicate to show the current key is locked. If pitch
(tempo) is changed the current key will continue to play. By
putting the pitch at 100% you can actually slow the music to a
complete stop while playing the last heard tones of the music.
This works very well on vocals and can be a very cool effect. If
the unit has Key Lock active after the track has been changed
and before play is hit, the unit will lock to 0. If Key is
deactivated during pause the unit will reset to match the current
pitch position.

Key Change: Pressing “KEY” and then or will change the

key. The display will indicate the and the new key .
The key can increase to 1 octave above normal key or up to 2
octaves above normal key when the Slide effect is used. The key
can decrease up to 5 octaves below normal key. The display will
limit to 19 half steps above or below normal key. If the key is
higher, the display will show "H". If it is lower, the display will
show "L".

SPECIAL EFFECTS

EFFECT SELECTION (Single Mode): To select and activate an effect tap on

it’s button, it will light to indicate activation and effect will indicate in the
display. To put the effect into hold mode or active alternate effects press the
center button. The button will light indicating the hold has been activated and
hold will show in the display. To release any button, tap it once again.

EFFECT SELECTION (Multiple Effect Mode) (AXIS 9 ONLY): In order to
activate/deactivate this mode press PROG + HOLD. The display will indicate
“MULTI” or “NO MULTI”. Press an effect and move the wheel to the desired
parameter. Then press a second effect. The first effect will flash while the
current effect will be solid. To change effects, select the effect you want. To
release, press the “current/solid” effect a second time.

You can use a combined effect value of 4 effect values at the same time.

These values are:

SCRATCH : 0
PHAZE : 2
SONAR : 2
SLIDE : 2
ECHO/A.D. : 1
CHOP/PAN : 1
ISO/KILL : 1
REVERSE/BLEEP : 0

Scratch and Reverse are always possible. If more than the allowed values are
attempted, they will not activate.

For example:

• You can have Echo, ISO, Scratch and Sonar

• Phaze and Slide with Reverse

• You can not have Phaze, Sonar, and Echo

EFFECT PARAMETER SELECTION: Once an
effect is active, rotate the wheel (AXIS 8) or inner
touch wheel (AXIS 9) to the desired parameter
value. The parameter value for most effects will
show in the display above the effect indication.

Note: For all effects except reverse, you will need to
activate pitch bend via the pitch bend buttons. On
the AXIS 9 you can also use the outer non-touch
section of the jog wheel.

EFFECT PARAMETER PRESET: Press on the desired effect and rotate the
wheel (AXIS 8) or inner touch wheel (AXIS 9) without releasing the button.
When the desired parameter is reached in the display, release the button. If an
effect is already playing, the new parameter will be heard upon button release.
If the effect is not active, then the next time the effect is activated it will be set
to play from this parameter in “hold” mode. If you wish to preset an alternate
effect such as SLIDE, PAN, or KILL press the hold button first, then hold down
the effect button and spin the wheel as described above.

-14-

EFFECTS:

SCRATCH – This effect makes it possible for the wheel to scratch the music

while it is playing. If you move the wheel back and forth the music will stop
and play slowly as the wheel is moved similar to scratching a record. There are
several modes of operation for this effect. By pressing “PROG” followed by the
scratch button you can toggle between Scratch 1,2,3, and 4. In “Scratch 1” the
unit automatically returns to play when the wheel is released. In “Scratch 2”,
when the wheel is brought to a stop the music will stop and when you push the
wheel forward the unit will automatically play. In “Scratch 3” the unit
scratches from the current buffer until the unit is released. When released, the
unit jumps ahead to the point where the music would have been, if not
interrupted. This essentially allows a bleep of dirty lyrics through scratch. In
“Scratch 4” the unit scratches from the last set cue point until released. This
allows you to scratch from a set “sample”.

SCRATCH HOLD – This effect works like the above except the music will not
release when the wheel is pushed forward or let go. It is basically the same as
scratching on a powered off turntable. Scratch is similar to working with a
playing turntable, while the Scratch hold is similar to scratching a turntable with
the power off.

PHAZE – Creates an effect on the music similar to the sound of an airplane
taking off. As the wheel is moved the effect is created. If the wheel stops
moving the effect will return to the beginning on it’s own. If the effect is in
“Hold” the effect will stay at the current sound until the effect is released by the
button or hold removed.

SONAR – Creates a metallic hollow effect to create a slightly different sound.
The wheel works a similar way as Phaze.

SLIDE – Smoothly changes the key of the music. In the
key display you will see the key change as the wheel is
moved.

-15-

ECHO – this effect adds echo to the music also based upon the Beatkeeper™.

The start parameter is no echo “0”. If you move the wheel to the right the
numbers will go 1-64, 1-32, 1-16, 1-8, 1-4, 1-2, and 1-1 indicating the amount
of echo added to the unit. If you move the wheel to the left you will create
negative or preceding echo. This essentially plays the music before you get to
it. At 1-1 the music will echo 1 full measure or
4 beats of music. If you turn off the effect then
back on again it remembers the last set
parameter.

(Note: a preceding echo requires the unit to play
from buffer memory. If the buffer becomes
unavailable the effect will stop until buffer is
regained.)

A.D. (Artificial-Dissemination) – Reduces the bit rate of the music creating
increasing distortion with intensity.

CHOP – This effect works best when the Beatkeeper™ is properly aligned.
Chop breaks up the music by turning the volume on and off based upon the
BPM of the Beatkeeper™. First activation of the effect plays 1/8th note or half
of every beat. In the BPM display will indicate an 1-8 which means one
measure (4 beats) of music has been broken into 8 parts. Rotation of the
wheel to the left decreases the parts to 1-4, 1-2, and 1-1. At 1-1 the music
plays for 4 beats then is silent. Rotating to the right breaks up the music into
1-16, 1-32, 1-64, then smaller increments making for another interesting
effect. When the effect is first activated the
music will play the section then turn off for a
section. This is important because you can
reverse the sections that are off and on by
activating the effect in the other section. If you
deactivate the effect then turn it on again it
remembers the last set parameter.

PAN - This effect also works best when the Beatkeeper™ is properly aligned.
Auto-pan alternates playing right and left audio based upon the BPM of the
Beatkeeper™. First activation of the effect plays alternates on 1/8th notes or
half of every beat. In the BPM display will indicate an 1-8 which means one
measure (4 beats) of music has been broken
into 8 parts. Rotation of the wheel to the left
decreases the parts to 1-4, 1-2, and 1-1.
Rotating to the right makes faster changes of
1-16, 1-32, 1-64, then smaller increments
making for another interesting effect. If you
deactivate the effect then turn it on again it
remembers the last set parameter.

-16-

Isolate - This isolation filter lets you play only a specific frequency of the

music. Rotation of the wheel moves the frequency played through the audio
spectrum. If you turn off the
effect then on again it
remembers the last set
parameter.

KILL- This elimination filter lets you play all but a specified frequency. Rotation
of the wheel moves the frequency not played through the audio spectrum. If
you turn off the effect then
on again it remembers the
last set parameter.

Reverse- Plays the music backwards. When the effect is activated the music
will play backwards until it is released. There is no limit to the amount of time
you can reverse.

Bleep- The effect activates as soon as the button is pressed. It is a temporary
(forward) reverse function for “bleeping” dirty lyrics or creating interesting
effects. By pressing the button the music plays backwards from buffer until
released or until the buffer runs out. When the button is release, or the buffer
runs out, the audio plays forward form the point where the music would have
been if the button was never
pressed. For example, is the
effect is activated for 5
seconds at 10 seconds into a
song, forward play will
resume at 15 seconds. The
buffer time for this operation
is variable depending upon
the number of loops set and
anti-shock buffer available.

-17-

PROGRAM FUNCTIONS PLEASE READ!!!!

This button provides several programmable functions depending upon the
combination of buttons used.

The following functions will work by pressing “PROG” followed by appropriate
function while still holding the program button:

Track Sequence Programming - Depress “PROG” while the unit is

stopped and “ ” will light. Select each track to be
programmed then press “PROG” between selections. Press
“PLAY/STUTTER” to start the track sequence program playing.
To exit and erase program hold “PROG” for more than 2 seconds
while the unit is stopped, open the disc tray, or turn off the
power.

Effect Options - pressing program with an effect button will offer

alternative options to that effect. In the case of the “SCRATCH”
effect the display will toggle between Scratch 1,2,3, and 4. Not all
effects offer options. More information on these options is
available in the effects section of this manual.

End of track dead space elimination – this will give and option for

eliminating the dead space at the end of tracks. The unit already
automatically removes dead space at the beginning of tracks. End
of track dead space elimination is useful if you are playing a CD
continuously and want to eliminate all the gaps between songs.
The display will indicate “ ” when the function is set to
eliminate space and indicates “ “ when the unit is left to
leave the natural space between tracks. This setting will be
remembered at power down.

Cueing Style Selection – this will alternate the jog wheel cue

function from a smooth “scratch” sound to the tradition “stutter”
sound modes during cue operations. The display will indicate “

” when the “scratch” style is active. This indication

will go away when the style of cue is stutter. This setting will be

remembered at power down.

Brake Speed – this allows you to adjust the speed of “PAUSE”, or

braking. Press “PAUSE” then rotate the wheel until the desired
seconds of startup are shown. Pressing “PAUSE” twice will toggle
startup from “ ” to the desired seconds.

Startup Speed – this allows you to adjust the startup speed of initial

play. Press “PLAY/STUTTER” then rotate the wheel until the
desired seconds of startup are shown. The “STUTTER” function
will not be affected. Pressing “PLAY/STUTTER” twice will toggle
startup between “ ” and the desired seconds.

Relay time – this gives options for the amount of time used for

relaying between tracks on two connected units. Options will
appear to relay immediately after the track (0), with time added
of 1, 2, or 3 seconds (1,2,3), or a reduction of 1,2, or 3 seconds (­1,-2,-3). By reducing time the attached CD player will start
playing before the end of a track, creating an automatic segue.

This feature will also work in track sequence program mode;
however, if the units are also in SINGLE mode the same number
of tracks programmed should be the same. Play will stop at the
end of the last track. This setting will be remembered at power
down.

Remote Start – The sets the mode for the “remote” jack on the rear

of the unit. Details can be found in the relay and remote start
sections of this manual.

Automatic door close protection – this option automatically closes

the door at the specified time. The display will indicate 30
seconds, 60 seconds, 120 seconds, and (no) for no auto close.

This setting will be remembered at power down.

Digital Output – This actives digital output for CDG disks and allows

digital audio information to be extracted from the unit. CDG
graphic CDs are often used for Karaoke.

Smart Looping – When active the display will indicate “ ”

and all looping and stuttering will follow the beat of the music
based upon the Beatkeeper information.

Sleep Mode – The unit will automatically enter sleep mode after 15

minutes of inactivity. In this mode the unit will still start instantly
from buffer, however, the laser will turn off to extend it’s life. If
this feature is undesirable, then it can be turned off. This setting

will be remembered at power down.

RELAY PLAY

This mode will be operational only when 2 units are connected via
a relay cable.

1. Insert CDs into both of the units.

2. We recommend putting both sides in SINGLE play mode while learning this
function.

3. Press the “RELAY” button on one unit to activate.

4. Press play on the first unit. When that unit has finished play it will send a
signal to the second unit to start play. You will see the second unit start
play and the first unit pause and cue to the beginning of the next track.
When unit 2 has completed play unit 1 will start.

Note: The play signal is sent at the end of specified play. If the unit is in
SINGLE mode the play signal will start the second unit at the end of the track.
If the unit is in CONTINUOUS mode the play signal will be sent at the end of the
full CD. Two CDs will play continuously, alternating from unit to unit.

FADER START

Fader Start is achievable by attaching your CD player to a
similarly equipped DJ mixer and setting the rear panel
selection switch to “mixer” mode.

1. Connect cables between the CD player and your DJ mixer.

2. Press the button or switch on your mixer into fader start mode to activate
the fader start capability.

3. Set the CD player to fader start by hold down “PROG” followed by tapping
“TIME” until the display says .

4. Typically if you move the crossfader toward the active channel, the
attached CD player will activate. When it is moved away the unit will cue
or pause depending upon CD player setting.

To select start/stop mode hold the time button for 2 seconds.

• If the display shows then the CD will pause when the
crossfader is moved away.

• If the display shows then the CD will CUE when the
crossfader is moved away.

REMOTE SWITCH START

Remote switch start is achievable by attaching your CD player to a switch like a
foot switch found in most music shops. Foot switch connector plugs are often
¼” and an adapter to 1/8” will be needed for connection.

1. Connect the remote switch to your CD player.

2. Select the type of foot switch you will use. There are two types of
footswitches that will work with this connector. The first is a typical, ON­OFF pushbutton switch and are generally used for switching channels on
guitar amps. Set the CD player to a ON-OFF switch by hold down “PROG”
followed by tapping “TIME” until the display says . The second
switch is a momentary footswitch and is usually used for keyboard sustain
pedals. Set the CD player to a ON-ON switch by hold down “PROG”
followed by tapping “TIME” until the display says . If you are
unsure of the style of switch you have, try each position until it works as
desired.

3. Typically if you press the switch once, the attached CD player will activate.
When it is pressed again the unit will cue or pause depending upon CD
player setting.

Note: You can also use a momentary switch in the ON-OFF switch position. In
this case the unit will only play while the switch is depressed. When the button
is release it will either cue or pause depending upon mode.

MIDI IN-OUT

MIDI – stands for musical instrument digital interface. Basically this means

you can hook up 2 MIDI compatible devices and they will talk to each other. In
this case you might connect 2 AXIS 8/9s and have them synchronize beats, add
a MIDI keyboard and have it control the CD players or hook up a drum machine
and play a rhythm pattern in time with the music.

MIDI CLOCK and INTERLOCK MODE: For interlock you will need 2 units

hooked up via 2 MIDI cables input to output. Pressing PROG + BPM
will put the unit in INTERLOCK mode when (2) units are connected via
MIDI. This mode will automatically match the BPM on (2) AXIS 8/9
units and lock them together on the beat. Before using this function it

is important to be sure the Beatkeeper is tracking the correct BPM and
is actually synchronized with the beat. In order to match effectively

one unit will indicate master and the other, slave. The master is
always the first unit to be playing. The slave follows the master.

As soon as the master is stopped for any reason the opposite side
becomes the new master control. Before using this function it is
advisable to activate the key lock since pitch shifts are automatic and
can be audible. When interlock is pressed you will see the BPM
display of the slave automatically change to match the master and the
pitch indication in the display change the amount needed to match
speeds. During interlock all pitch functions of the slave will deactivate
and follow everything you do with the master. All actions of the slave
such as LOOP points, and PLAY will now also be beat aligned with the
master.

• If both units are playing the slave will adjust to match to the

nearest beat of the master.

• If is pressed the slave will now start with the next beat of

the master.

• If “RELAY” is pressed during INTERLOCK, the slave will

automatically start the next time the master matches the beat of
the slave.

SLAVE TO MIDI CLOCK: When the AXIS 8/9 is hooked up to receive

another clock device through it’s MIDI input, such as a drum machine,
beat synchronization can be achieved similarly to the above. In this
case the AXIS 8/9 will receive and synchronize to the global clock and
always remain as the slave device.

GLOBAL MIDI CLOCK TRANSMIT: when the MIDI output of the AXIS 8/9

is attached to another clock receiving device, such as a drum machine,
the device will receive global clock information from the AXIS 8/9.
Play and Pause commands will be sent as well.

-21-

INCREASE/DECREASE: When the slave becomes the

master or is released from interlock and still playing,
the pitch playing will often be different than the
original position of the pitch slider. The pitch slider will
not function until it is brought to the new position.
Move the pitch slider in the direction shown in the
display. For example if the display says “INCREASE

4.5%” move the slider in the positive direction 4.5%
(increase). If it says “DECREASE -3%” then move
the slider in the negative direction 3% (decrease). As
you get closer to the correct position the indication will
reduce until you are at the pitch currently playing.
After this has been achieved all pitch functions will
return to the player and pitch can be adjusted as
normally. If the unit is stopped for any reason the
pitch will automatically reset to the current position of
the slider. Note: Interlock may automatically

deactivate when effects are engaged that can not
be beat aligned such as live scratch.

MIDI CONTROL COMMANDS

You can control the CD player via an external MIDI
controller such as a computer or Keyboard. The device
needs to transmit commands on Channel 6. The chart to
the right references which notes will trigger control of
various CD functions. You can also add a foot pedal for
even greater control.
