4 Controller Overview
PLAYBACK CONTROLS
10. Cue : If no Cue Point is assigned, or if the deck is paused, press Cue to set a Current Cue Point. While the
media is playing, press it again to skip back to the Current Cue Point and pause playback. You can hold down Cue
to start playback from the Current Cue Point. Release it to skip back to the Current Cue Point and pause playback.
You can hold down Cue and Play/Pause simultaneously to start playback from the Current Cue Point. Release both
buttons to allow playback to continue.
Shift function Cue/Set: defines a cue point on the fly.
11. Play/Pause: starts or pauses playback of a media file.
Shift function Cue Play: jumps the media back to the Current Cue Point without stopping playback.
12. Jog Wheel : the jog wheel can be used for a number of functions. When the media is first loaded you can use
the jog wheel to cue up the media. When a media is playing and Vinyl mode is active you can use the top panel of
the jog wheel to scratch and the jog wheel margin to temporarily change the pitch of the media. When a media
is playing and Vinyl mode is not active you can use the jog wheel to temporarily change the pitch of the media.
Note: this will automatically revert back to the default pitch when you let go of the jog wheel.
Shift function Jog Seek: skips through the media at high speed.
PITCH CONTROLS
13. Pitch bend : hold these buttons down to temporarily alter the speed the playing media. When released, the
media playback will return to the speed designated by the pitch slider.
Shift function Fine: hold these buttons down to temporarily and finely alter the speed the playing media.
14. Pitch slider: changes the speed of the currently playing media.
15. Speed/Tempo/Hybrid select: selects Speed or Tempo or Hybrid.
If Speed mode has been selected you can adjust the pitch like with a normal turntable.
If the Tempo mode has been activated it is possible to change the pitch via the pitch fader without influencing the
tone pitch. This means that the song’s tonal key remains the same while changing its speed.
The hybrid mode is a combination of the speed and the tempo warping modes, hence its name. It is equivalent to
the tempo mode in the (-33%; +33%) speed range and to the speed mode below -66% and above +66%. In the
remaining speed ranges (-66%; -33%) and (33%; 66%), the pitch is gradually increased or decreased to smooth
the pitch transitions.This mode gives the best of the speed and tempo modes: a more natural sound at extreme
speed values, and a wide constant-pitch range around 0% speed.
Shift function Pitch range : sets the range of the pitch slider. Push this button to change it between 4%, 6%, 8%,
16%, 32% and 100%.
16. Vinyl : while a track is playing with this option turned on, you can use the jog wheel to scratch your media; if
this button is off, the jog wheel will allow you to change the speed.
17. Sync: synchronizes the BPM and the beat with the adjacent player.
Shift function Match: only synchronizes the BPM with the adjacent player.

1. Power adapter input : connect the power adapter here (optional, can be bought separately if USB power is
too low).
2. Power switch (adaptor / Off / USB) : set the switch to Adaptor when using the exclusive adaptor, set to USB
when using power provided from the computer via USB.
3. USB connection: used to connect U-MIX CONTROL PRO to your computer.
4. Output 1/2-3/4 : use these standard RCA outputs to connect to an external mixer or your sound system
(amplifier, powered speakers, or home stereo). If you have a speakers set with a cable mini jack male, use an
adapter male RCA to female mini-jack (3.5mm).
5. Touch sensor level : adjusts the level of touch sensitivity for the jog wheel; adjust it if CROSS DJ is not
detecting your touches correctly.
6. C.F. Curve : adjust the shape of the crossfader curve from a quick cut for scratching or to a longer fade for
mixing.
7. Line/Phono switch: this switch allows you to set the pre-amplification level for each stereo input to the line
(CD/MP3 player, iPod ® for example) or phono (turntable) level. A turntable outputs a considerably weaker audio
signal than a CD or MP3 player, and therefore requires extra pre-amplification in order to achieve a comparable
volume.
8. Input 1/2-3/4 : use these standard RCA inputs to connect your decks or MP3 players. The phono level inputs
and line level inputs share the same connectors. Use the input source selectors to select the input sources.
9. Ground lug : when using a turntable, connect the ground lead from your turntable to the ground lug to help
preventing hum.
10. Kensington® safety slot : accommodates a plug associated with a padlock, then connected to a cable to
be fixed around a fixed object, or difficult to move.

1. Microphone thru input : connect a 1/4” microphone to this input. Mic signal is sent directly to the outputs
(there is no software control on this input).
2. Microphone level : controls the hardware input level of the microphone (there is no software control on this
input level).
3. Microphone switch (off / on / talk over) : OFF: No microphone sound is output. ON: Microphone sound is
output normally. TALK OVER: Microphone sound is output; when sound is input to a connected microphone, the
TALK OVER function operates and all sound other than that from the microphone is attenuated by 14 dB: that
allows you to be heard when you’re speaking. When not using the TALK OVER function, it is recommended to set
the switch to the OFF or ON position.
4. Headphones mix : controls the balance in the headphones via software between the master output and the
headphone cue.
5. Headphones level : controls the hardware output level of the headphone (does not correspond to the monitor
volume software knob).
6. Headphones output : connect your 1/4” or 1/8” headphones to this output for cueing and mix monitoring.
This output is coupled with the RCA output 3/4.
