Useful Terms: Audio Pointer: The current position in a track from where audio will play. When you select a track

and begin playing, the Audio Pointer will usually start from the beginning and stop at the end. Hot Cue Point: A marked position in a track, which will be permanently stored by the software.

You can set, return to, or delete Hot Cue Points with the Hot Cue Buttons. Temporary Cue Point: A marked position in a track, which will only remain while that track is still

loaded in the Deck. You can set and return to the Temporary Cue Point with the Cue button.

General Controls

1. Shift: Press and hold this button to access secondary functions (in red lettering) of other

controls on NS7II.

2. Touch Mode: Press and hold this button to activate Touch Mode, which lets you access the

touch-capacitive functions of NS7II's FX 1 Knob, FX 2 Knob, and FX 3 Knob. Press and hold Shift and then press this button to access the touch-capacitive functions of

the same knobs as above plus the EQ Knobs (Channel Treble, Channel Mid, and Channel Bass). These functions are momentary, not "latching."

3. Layer: Selects which Layer in the software is controlled by that hardware Deck. Deck A can

control Layer 1 or 3; Deck B can control Layer 2 or 4.

4. USB Indicator: This LED lights up when NS7II is successfully connected to and

communicating with your computer.

Mixer Controls

5. Input Selector: Set this switch to the desired audio source from this channel: PC (a track

playing on that layer in the software), Mic 2 or Line (a device connected to the Mic 2 Input or Line Input on NS7II's rear panel). Please note that the Line/Phono selector switches on NS7II's rear panel must also be set properly. Also, a channel's controls will only send MIDI information when its Input Selector is set to PC.

Important: Do not set more than one channel's Input Selectors to Mic2; doing so can cause unwanted feedback or distortion.

6. Gain Trim: Adjusts the pre-fader, pre-EQ audio level of the corresponding channel in the

software.

7. LED Meters: Monitors the audio levels of the corresponding channel.

8. Channel Treble: Adjusts the high (treble) frequencies. When Touch Mode is activated,

touching this knob will mute the corresponding channel's high frequencies (an "EQ kill").

9. Channel Mid: Adjusts the mid-range frequencies. When Touch Mode is activated, touching

this knob will mute the corresponding channel's mid-range frequencies (an "EQ kill").

10. Channel Bass: Adjusts the low (bass) frequencies. When Touch Mode is activated, touching

this knob will mute the corresponding channel's low frequencies (an "EQ kill").

11. Channel Fader: Adjusts the audio level on the corresponding channel in the software.

12. PFL: Press this button to send this channel's pre-fader signal to the Cue Channel for

monitoring. When engaged, the button will be lit. By pressing one PFL button at a time, you will cue that channel alone (and deactivate PFL monitoring for the other channels). To cue to multiple channels simultaneously, press the PFL buttons for those channels at the same time.

13. Crossfader: Blends audio between the channels assigned to the left and right side of the

crossfader.

14. Master Volume: Adjusts the output volume of the Program Mix.

15. Booth/Zone Volume: Adjusts the output volume of the Booth Output mix.

Playback Controls

16. Platter: Controls the Audio Pointer in the software.

17. Start Time: Controls the rate at which the platter regains its normal playback speed.

18. Stop Time: Controls the rate at which the platter slows to a complete stop ("brake time").

19. Play / Pause: This button pauses or resumes playback.

Press and hold Shift and then press this button to "stutter-play" the track from the last set Cue Point.

20. Cue: When the Deck is paused, you can set a Temporary Cue Point by moving the Platter to

place the Audio Pointer at the desired location and then pressing the Cue Button. During playback, you can press the Cue Button to return the track to this Temporary Cue

Point. (If you did not set a Temporary Cue Point, then it will return to the beginning of the track.)

If the Deck is paused, you can press and hold the Cue Button to play the track from the Temporary Cue Point. Releasing the Cue Button will return the track to the Temporary Cue Point and pause it. To continue playback without returning to the Temporary Cue Point, press and hold the Cue Button, then press and hold the Play Button, and then release both buttons.

Press and hold Shift and then press this button to return to the beginning of the track.

21. Sync: Press this button to automatically match the corresponding Deck's tempo with the

opposite Deck's tempo and phase. Press and hold Shift and press this button to deactivate Sync.

22. Bleep / Reverse: Reverses audio playback of the track on the corresponding deck.

When the switch is in the Reverse position, the playback of the track will be reversed. Returning the switch to its center (deactivated) position will resume normal playback from wherever the Audio Pointer stops.

When the switch is in the Bleep position, the playback of the track will be reversed. Returning the switch to its center (deactivated) position will resume normal playback from where it would have been if you had never engaged the Bleep function (i.e., as if the track had been playing forward the whole time).

Cue Controls

23. Hot Cue Buttons (1-5): Assigns a Hot Cue Point or returns the track to that Hot Cue Point.

When a Hot Cue Button is unlit, you can assign a Hot Cue Point by pressing it at the desired point in your track. Once it is assigned, the Hot Cue Button will light. To return to that Hot Cue Point, simply press it.

Press and hold Shift and then press a Hot Cue Button to delete its assigned Hot Cue Point. Tip: If the Deck is paused, holding a lit Hot Cue Button will start playback from that Hot Cue

Point. Releasing it will return the track to that Hot Cue Point and pause playback.

Pad Mode Controls

24. Pads: These pads have different functions

on each Deck depending on the current Pad Mode. These pads are the same pads used with Akai Professional MPCs, so they are velocity-sensitive (in certain modes only), durable, and easy to play.

In this section, when referring to specific pads, it will refer to the numbers as shown in the diagram on the right.

25. Parameter < / > : Use these buttons for various functions in each Pad Mode (described

below).

29. Sampler: This Pad Mode button switches the pads between two modes: Sample Player

Mode and Sample Velocity Trigger Mode). When the button is unlit, the first press will always select Sample Player Mode.

• Sample Player Mode: Pads 1-6 each

trigger a sample, which you can assign

Sample 1

Sample 2

Sample 3

Sample 4

in the software (the volume level is also set in the software). Unlit pads have no sample assigned to them. Violet pads have a sample assigned but are not triggered. Magenta pads have a sample

Sample 5

Sample 6

no function

assigned and are currently playing.

• Sample Velocity Trigger Mode: The pads behave identically to the pads in Sample

Player Mode, except they are velocity-sensitive, so triggered samples will play back at a volume level proportional to how heavily you pressed the pads. This mode can give your performance more of a "human feel."

30. Slicer: This Pad Mode button switches the pads between two modes: Slicer Mode and Slicer

Loop Mode. When the button is unlit, the first press will always select Slicer Mode. Important: Your track must have a set Beat Grid for Slicer Mode or Slicer Loop Mode to

work.

• Slicer Mode: The eight pads represent

eight sequential beats—"Slices"—in the

Slice 1

Slice 2 Slice 3

Slice 4

Beat Grid. The currently playing Slice is represented by the currently lit pad; the light will "move through the pads" as it progresses through each eight-Slice

Slice 5

Slice 6 Slice 7

Slice 8

phrase. Press a pad to play that Slice— hold it down if you want to keep looping it. When you release the pad, the track will resume normal playback from where it would have been if you had never pressed it (i.e., as if the track had been playing forward the whole time).

Press the Parameter < or Parameter > button to decrease or increase the Slice quantization. Press and hold Shift and then press the Parameter < or Parameter > button to decrease or increase the Slice Domain size.

• Slicer Loop Mode: The pads behave identically to the pads in Slicer Mode, except the

eight-Slice phrase will loop rather than moving forward continuously through the track.

Track Controls

31. Strip Search™: The length of this strip represents the length of the entire track. Place your

finger on a point along this sensor to jump to that point in the track. (If you want to scroll through a track, we recommend using your computer rather than running your finger along the strip.)

32. Slip / Clear: When using the software's Beat Grid, press and hold this button and move the

Platter to "slip" (i.e., shift or slide) the entire Beat Grid to the left or right. Press and hold Shift and then press this button to delete the entire Beat Grid. Important: Your track must have a set Beat Grid for the Slip / Clear button to work.

33. Adjust / Set: Press and hold this button and move the Platter to "warp" the entire Beat Grid.

Press and hold Shift and then press this button to set a Beat Marker at the Audio Pointer's current location.

Important: Your track must have a set Beat Grid for the Adjust feature to work. Also, using the Adjust feature will change the track's BPM.

34. Slip Mode / Motor Off: Press this button to enable or disable Slip Mode. In Slip Mode, you

can jump to Hot Cue Points, trigger Loop Rolls, or use the Platters, while the track's timeline continues. In other words, when you stop the action, the track will resume normal playback from where it would have been if you had never done anything (i.e., as if the track had been playing forward the whole time).

Press and hold Shift and press this button to activate or deactivate the corresponding Platter's motor. This will not affect the track's playback.

Pitch Controls

35. Tap: Tap this button at the same tempo as the track to help the software detect a more

accurate BPM reading.

36. Range / Master Tempo: Press this to adjust the range of the Pitch Fader to ±8%, ±16%, and

±50%. Press and hold Shift and then press this button to "lock" the track's pitch to its original key.

The track's tempo will remain at the speed designated by the Pitch Fader.

37. Takeover LEDs: When you select the other Deck with the Deck Select switch, the position of

the NS7II's Pitch Fader may not match the Pitch setting for that Deck in the software. Slowly move the Pitch Fader in the direction indicated by the Takeover LED arrow until it turns off. At this point, the Pitch Fader matches the Pitch setting in the software and can control it again.

38. Pitch Fader: Controls the track's playback speed. An LED next to the fader will light up when

set at 0%.

39. Pitch Bend ( + / – ): Press or hold down either of these buttons to temporarily adjust the

track's playback speed. When released, the track playback will return to the speed designated by the Pitch Fader.

40. BPM Meter: This meter is an aid for matching the tempo of both decks. When the white

center LED is lit, the BPMs are matched. Otherwise, the meter will tend towards the faster deck. The further from center, the greater the difference between the two BPMs.

The meter is also an aid while adjusting Loop In or Loop Out points. If you are making fine adjustments to your Loop In or Loop Out points using the Platters, the lit LED will "wrap around" the meter. It will rest on the white center LED whenever the loop's length has been doubled or halved exactly.

Note: The BPM Meter will aid in loop adjustments only if (1) a BPM reading has been entered for that track and (2) the two Decks' tempos have been synchronized.

Navigation Controls

41. Scroll Knob: Use this knob to scroll through lists of tracks, Crates, etc. in the software. You

can also press it to move between the panels shown in the software.

and mix monitoring.

2. Headphone Volume: Adjusts the volume level of the headphone output.

3. Split Cue: When this switch is in the On position, the headphone audio will be "split" such

that all channels sent to Cue are mixed to mono and applied to the left headphone channel and the Program mix is mixed to mono and applied to the right channel. When the switch is in the Off position, Cue and Program audio will be "blended" together.

4. Cue Blend: Turn to mix between Cue and Program in the Headphone channel. When all the

way to the left, only channels routed to Cue will be heard. When all the way to the right, only the Program mix will be heard.

5. Crossfader Assign: Routes the audio playing on the corresponding channel to either side of

the crossfader (A or B), or bypasses the crossfader and sends the audio directly to the Program Mix (center, Off).

6. Crossfader Slope: Adjusts the slope of the crossfader curve. Turn the knob to the left for a

smooth fade (mixing) or to the right for a sharp cut (scratching). The center position is a typical setting for club performances.

7. Mic 1 Input (1/4"): Connect a 1/4" microphone to this input. This input's audio signal is

routed directly to the Program Mix and Cue Mix.

8. Line/Phono Switch: Flip this switch to the appropriate position, depending on the device

connected to the Line/Phono Inputs. If you are using phono-level turntables, set this switch to Phono to provide the additional amplification needed for phono-level signals. If using a linelevel device, such as a CD player or sampler, set this switch to Line.

9. Line Inputs (RCA): Connect line-level devices, such as CD players, samplers or audio

interfaces, to these inputs.

10. Grounding Terminal: If using phono-level turntables with a grounding wire, connect the

grounding wire to these terminals. If you experience a low "hum" or "buzz", this could mean that your turntables are not grounded.

Note: Some turntables have a grounding wire built into the RCA connection and, therefore, nothing needs to be connected to the grounding terminal.

11. Mic 2 Input (1/4"): Connect a 1/4" microphone to this input. Microphone controls are located

on the top panel on any channel whose Input Selector is set to Mic2.

12. Motor Torque: Flip this switch to adjust the torque of the Platters. At the high setting, the

Platters will have the heavier, stronger feel of "modern" turntables. At the lower setting, they are lighter and more graceful – the feel of a "classic" turntable.

13. Cooling Fan: Keep the area in front of this vent clear from obstructions. The fan behind the

vent cools the NS7II, preventing overheating.

Términos útiles: Puntero de audio: Posición actual de la pista desde donde se reproduce el audio. Cuando usted

selecciona una pista y comienza a reproducir, el puntero de audio arranca habitualmente al comienzo y se detiene al final.

Punto de cue rápido: Posición marcada en una pista, que el software almacena permanentemente. Es posible establecer, volver o eliminar puntos de cue rápido con los controles de cue rápido.

Punto de cue temporal:Posición marcada en la pista que permanece sólo mientras la pista está cargada en la bandeja. Es posible establecer y volver al punto de cue temporal con el botón Cue.

Controles generales

1. Función secundaria: Mantenga pulsado este botón para acceder a las funciones

secundarias (en letra roja) de los demás controles del NS7II.

2. Modo táctil: Mantenga pulsado este botón para acceder a las funciones capacitivas táctiles

de las perillas FX 1, FX 2 y FX 3 del NS7II. Mantenga pulsado Shift (botón de función secundaria) y pulse este botón para acceder a las

funciones capacitivas táctiles de las mismas perillas de arriba más las perillas del ecualizador (agudos de canal, medios de canal y bajos de canal). Estas funciones son momentáneas, no de "enganche".

3. Bandeja virtual: Se usa para seleccionar qué bandeja virtual del software es controlada por

esa bandeja del hardware. La bandeja A puede controlar las bandejas virtuales 1 ó 3. La bandeja B puede controlar las bandejas virtuales 2 ó 4.

4. Indicador USB: Este LED se enciende cuando el NS7II se conecta exitosamente y se

comunica con su computadora.

Controles del mezclador

5. Selector de entrada: Coloque este interruptor según la fuente de audio deseada desde este

canal: PC (un pista que se reproduce en esa capa en el software), Mic 2 o Line (Línea) (un dispositivo conectado a la entrada Mic 2 (Micrófono 2) o Line (Línea) del panel trasero del NS7II). Tenga en cuenta que los interruptores selectores Line/Phono del panel trasero también se deben colocar correctamente. Asimismo, los controles de un canal solo envían información MIDI cuando su selector de entrada se coloca en PC.

Importante: No coloque más de un selector de entrada de canal en Mic2, puesto que puede causar una realimentación o distorsión indeseable.

6. Ajuste de ganancia: Ajusta el nivel de audio previo al fader y al ecualizador del canal

correspondiente en el software.

7. Medidores con LED: Monitorean el nivel de audio de la salida de programa en el canal

correspondiente.

8. Treble (de canal): Ajusta las altas frecuencias (agudos) del audio que se reproduce en el

canal correspondiente.

9. Medios (de canal): Ajusta las frecuencias medias del audio que se reproduce en el canal

correspondiente.

10. Graves (de canal): Ajusta las bajas frecuencias (graves) del audio que se reproduce en el

canal correspondiente.

11. Fader canal: Ajusta el nivel de audio del canal correspondiente en el software.

12. PFL: Pulse este botón para enviar esta señal de nivel pre-fader al canal de cue para

monitoreo. Cuando está pulsado, el botón se enciende. Al pulsar un botón PFL a la vez, hace cue en ese canal solamente (y desactiva el monitoreo de PFL de los demás canales). Para hacer cue en varios canales simultáneamente, pulse los botones PFL de esos canales al mismo tiempo.

13. Crossfader: Combina el audio entre los canales asignados a los lados izquierdo y derecho

del crossfader.

14. Volumen maestro: Ajusta el volumen de salida de la mezcla de programa.

15. Volumen cabina (booth): Ajusta el volumen de salida de la mezcla de salida para cabina

(Booth Output).

Controles de la reproducción

16. Plato: Controla el puntero de audio en el software.

17. Tiempo de arranque: Controla el tiempo en el cual el plato retoma su velocidad de

reproducción normal.

18. Tiempo de parada: Controla el tiempo en que el plato aminora su velocidad hasta detenerse

por completo ("tiempo de frenado").

19. Reproducir/Pausa: Con este botón se pone en pausa o reanuda la reproducción.

Mantenga pulsado Shift y pulse este botón para que la pista "tartamudee" desde el último punto de cue.

20. Cue: Cuando la bandeja se pone en pausa, puede establecer un punto de cue temporal

moviendo el plato para colocar el puntero de audio en el lugar deseado y pulsando luego el botón Cue.

Durante la reproducción, puede pulsar el botón Cue para que la pista vuelva a este punto de cue temporal. (Si no estableció un punto de cue temporal, volverá al principio de la pista.)

Si la bandeja está en pausa, puede mantener pulsado el botón Cue para reproducir la pista desde el punto de cue temporal. Al soltar el botón Cue, la pista vuelve al punto de cue temporal y se pone en pausa. Para continuar la reproducción sin volver al punto de cue temporal, mantenga pulsado el botón Cue, luego mantenga pulsado el botón de reproducir y luego suelte ambos botones.

Mantenga pulsado Shift y pulse este botón para volver al comienzo de la pista.

21. Sincronismo: Pulse este botón para hacer coincidir automáticamente el tempo de la

bandeja correspondiente con el tempo y la fase de la bandeja opuesta. Mantenga pulsado Shift y pulse este botón para desactivar el sincronismo.

22. Bleep / Reversa: Invierte la reproducción de audio de la pista en la bandeja

correspondiente. Cuando el interruptor está en la posición Reverse, se invierte la reproducción de la pista. Al

regresar el conmutador a la posición central (desactivado) se reanuda la reproducción normal desde el punto en que se detuvo el puntero de audio.

Cuando el interruptor se mantiene en la posición Bleep, se invierte la reproducción de la pista. Al volver el conmutador a la posición central (desactivado), se reanuda la reproducción normal desde donde lo haría si nunca se hubiera activado la función Bleep (es decir, si la pista se hubiera estado reproduciendo hacia adelante todo el tiempo).

Controles de cue

23. Botones de cue rápido (1-5): Asignan un punto de cue rápido o regresan la pista a ese

punto de cue rápido. Cuando un botón cue rápido está apagado, puede asignar un punto de cue rápido pulsándolo en el punto deseado de su pista. Una vez asignado, el botón cue rápido se enciende. Para volver a ese punto de cue rápido, simplemente púlselo.

Pulse y mantenga pulsado el botón Shift y pulse el botón hot cue apropiado para eliminar el punto de cue rápido asignado.

Consejo: Si la bandeja está en pausa, al mantener pulsado un botón cue rápido encendido, la reproducción comienza desde ese punto de cue rápido. Al soltarlo, la pista regresa a ese punto de cue rápido y se pone la reproducción en pausa.

Controles de modo de pad

24. Pads: Estos pads tienen distintas funciones

en cada bandeja en función del modo de pad activado. Son los mismos usados en los MPC Akai Professional, de modo que son sensibles a la velocidad (solo en algunos modelos), durables y fáciles de tocar.

En esta sección, cuando hagamos referencia a pads específicos, utilizaremos los números que se muestran en el diagrama de la derecha.

25. Parámetro < / >: Use estos botones para diversas funciones en cada modo de pad

(explicado abajo).

26. Cues: Este botón de modo de pad cambia los pads entre dos modos: Modo de Hot Cue

(Cue rápido) (rojo) y loop automático con cue rápido (naranja). Cuando el botón está apagado, la primera pulsación selecciona siempre el modo de cue rápido.

• Modo de cue rápido: Cada pad asigna

un punto de cue rápido o hace que la pista vuelva a ese punto de cue rápido.

27. Auto / Regreso: Este botón de modo de pad cambia los pads entre dos modos: Loop

automático (azul oscuro) y loop con regreso (celeste). Cuando el botón está apagado, la primera pulsación selecciona siempre el modo de loop automático.

Nota: Estas disposiciones de pads coinciden con el esquema de división de tiempo de loop automático por defecto. Si desplaza el rango de divisiones de tiempo mostrado en el software, la disposición del pad cambia para coincidir con él.

• Modo de loop automático: Cada pad dispara o libera un loop automático de una longitud diferente. Mantenga
