INTRODUCTION

DDS80 is a revolutionary DJ system, featuring a 3U rack-mountable dual-deck console and a 2U rackmountable USB2.0 hard drive companion with CD/DVD support. With a ground-breaking and easily accessible user interface, the plug and play design empowers the DJ to quickly find, organize and perform tracks from connected USB storage devices. Songs can be directed manually to decks or automatically played, jukebox-style.

Powerful tools such as the Crate and Profile View offer a digital slant on traditional DJ methods. The Crate can be used to prepare and arrange your set in advance, during your performance or a mixture of both. The Profile View offers a fast visual cueing aid, much like looking at the grooves on a record, but better!

In addition to rock-solid connectivity with the companion DDS Drive, the DDS Console boasts three additional USB connections for a wide variety of storage options. These include the Apple iPod®, thumb drives and external hard drives. Searching for artists, albums or tracks is made super fast with the supplied USB keyboard.

The DDS Console can play MP3, WAV and AAC* music formats stored on FAT16, FAT32, NTFS and HFS+ file systems.

We have provided this Quickstart Guide as a starting point for your explorations. If you just can’t wait to begin using the unit, please take a few moments to go through this guide to quickly learn about basic operation. However, we highly recommend reading the Reference Manual included on the DDS Drive to get the most out of your DDS80.

IMPORTANT MESSAGES

DDS works best with the latest software installed. We strongly recommend that you check for software updates right away, and continue to check regularly so you don't miss out on any of the good stuff! See “DDS Software Upgrades” section of Reference Manual for details and visit www.numark.com

Don't Force It

USB devices fit into the USB socket one way around only. If the device does not push in easily, don't force it – check that you have it the right way around!

Eject Before Pulling

When you're finished with a storage device, always properly eject it before unplugging, just like with your home computer! Unplugging without ejecting can damage your data. See “Ejecting a Library” section for details.

USB Gizmos

Mice, trackpads and other input devices will do nothing for your DDS. Most USB keyboards are supported but we recommend you use the cool Numark keyboard supplied.

buttons can access extra functions when available; shown by arrow pointers appearing in the lower corners of the screen.

9. FUNCTION BUTTONS – These four

buttons select the available menu options displayed above them. Depending on the menu that you are viewing, the functionality of these buttons will change. Use them to load tracks for playback: With a track highlighted, choose a side (or deck) to play on, then load either ’to A’ or ’to B’ using these buttons.

10. PLAY/STUTTER – Starts the music loaded

on the corresponding deck. Press this button again while the music is playing to jump back to the last set cue point, creating a ’stutter’ effect.

11. PAUSE – Pauses playback. Press and hold

the PAUSE button for one second while paused to return to the beginning of the track.

12. CUE – Returns to the last set cue point

(defaults to start) and pauses. The cue point is set at the position where PLAY/STUTTER is pressed. Audition by pressing and holding down the CUE button while paused at the cue point. Edit the cue point by spinning the JOG WHEEL to a new position while paused, then pressing PLAY.

13. JOG WHEEL – This wheel can be used for

pitchbending, scratching, cueing and searching through the music playing on the corresponding deck. The behavior of the wheel is determined by the two accompanying buttons: SCRATCH and SEARCH.

In normal operation the JOG WHEEL functions as a pitch bender while playing. Pitch bending temporarily speeds up (clockwise) or slows down (counterclockwise) the music.

14. SCRATCH – While activated, jogging the

wheel creates a ’scratch’ effect.

15. SEARCH – While activated, spinning the

JOG WHEEL seeks backwards and forwards through a track. Leaving the wheel untouched for eight seconds deactivates this mode.

16. PITCH SLIDER – Adjusts the pitch and

tempo of the track on the deck.

17. PITCH BUTTON – Pressing this button will

cycle through pitch ranges of ±0%, ±6%, ±12%, ±25% and 100%/+ 25%. The range will temporarily appear in the top left of the deck display.

18. TAP – Press this button in time with the

beat to set the Beatkeeper™. The BPM will appear in the top right of the deck display. Holding the button for one second will reset the Beatkeeper™.

20. MODE – Change deck options such as

Track Loading, Time Display, Fader Start and Jog Mode and Pitch settings.

Track Loading determines how tracks are loaded from the Crate: Automatic loads the next track, Continuous will autoplay it, Cyclic sends the played track to the end of the Crate list, Repeat will loop playback of the current track.

Jog Mode describes the operation of the deck’s jog wheel when cueing music: Vinyl causes the music to stop, CD causes the music to loop the next 0.2 seconds continuously when the jog wheel stops moving.

Twisting the PUSH SELECT knob will change settings; pressing it will move to the next option. Press MODE again to exit.

21. LOOP IN – Sets the start point of the loop.

If you wish to change the loop in point, press the LOOP IN button again.

adapter (DC 12V 2A) and connect it to a power source. Please only use the supplied power adapter – using an alternate power adapter may result in damage to the DDS.

2. DC Restraint – You may use this restraint

to secure the power adapter cord to the unit. This will prevent the cord from being accidentally unplugged.

3. USB Inputs – Please attach your mass

storage media to these two available USB ports* – a hub can be used to expand to more USB inputs, but you should never plug a hub into a hub. We recommend you use only powered hubs for maximum reliability. You may also connect the included USB keyboard to one of these ports for quick navigation and searching.

Note: DDS can play MP3, WAV and AAC music formats stored on FAT16, FAT32, NTFS (read-only) and HFS+ file systems.

4. Line Out (B) – This RCA connection will

output the audio signal from deck B on the DDS. Please use the supplied stereo RCA cable to connect to a line-level input of your DJ mixer.

5. Line Out (A) – This RCA connection will

output the audio signal from deck A on the DDS. Please use the supplied stereo RCA cable to connect to a line-level input of your DJ mixer.

6. Fader Start Connectors – Use these

connectors to plug into your fader-start compatible mixer. Fader Start allows you to remotely start playback on either deck from a fader-start compatible mixer. With this feature, every time you move the crossfader on your mixer toward either side, the track loaded on that deck will begin playing. To use the DDS with a fader-start compatible mixer, connect the supplied fader-start cables from the two connectors on the DDS to the fader-start connectors on your mixer. See “Deck Mode Settings” section of Reference Manual for more information.

INTRODUCCIÓN

DDS80 es un revolucionario sistema para DJ, que ofrece una consola de doble bandeja para montar en rack 3U y un disco duro USB2.0 para motar en un rack 2U con soporte para CD/DVD. Con una interfaz de usuario de avanzada y fácil acceso, el diseño “plug and play” permite al DJ encontrar, organizar e interpretar rápidamente pistas de los dispositivos de almacenamiento USB conectados. Los temas se pueden dirigir manualmente a las bandejas o reproducir automáticamente, al estilo de una rocola.

Herramientas poderosas, tales como la vista Crate (Caja de discos) y Profile (Perfil), ofrecen un sesgo digital a los métodos tradicionales de los DJ. Crate se puede usar para preparar y disponer su conjunto de temas anticipadamente, durante su función o una mezcla de ambas opciones. La vista Profile ofrece una ayuda visual rápida de cue, muy similar a la observación de los surcos de un disco, ¡pero mucho mejor!

Además de la conectividad sólida como la roca con la unidad de disco DDS (DDS Drive) asociada, el DDS también ofrece tres conexiones USB adicionales para brindar una amplia variedad de opciones de almacenamiento. Entre ellas, se incluyen el iPod® de Apple, unidades de almacenamiento miniatura y discos duros externos. Es posible buscar artistas, álbumes o temas muy rápidamente con el teclado USB provisto.

Vea los detalles en la sección “Actualizaciones de software de DDS” del Manual de referencia y visite

www.numark.com para obtener las actualizaciones de software más recientes.

No lo fuerce

Los dispositivos USB entran en el zócalo USB sólo de una manera. Si no es posible introducir el dispositivo fácilmente, no lo fuerce —¡compruebe que lo esté insertando de la manera correcta!

Expúlselo antes de desenchufarlo

Cuando termine de usar un dispositivo de almacenamiento, expúlselo siempre correctamente antes de desenchufarlo, como hace con la computadora de su casa. Si lo desenchufa sin expulsarlo, pueden dañarse los datos. Consulte los detalles en la sección “Cómo expulsar una biblioteca”.

Artefactos USB

Los ratones, almohadillas táctiles y otros dispositivos de entrada no hacen nada por su DDS. Se soportan la mayoría de los teclados USB pero recomendamos que use el excelente teclado Numark provisto.
