7. 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.
8. 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.
9. JOG WHEEL –The jog wheel serves many functions depending on its current mode.
a) If a track is not playing, the JOG WHEEL will search slowly through a track's frames. To set a new cue point,
rotate the JOG WHEEL then begin playback when you have determined the proper position. Press CUE to return
to that cue point.
b) If a track is playing, the JOG WHEEL will temporarily bend the pitch of the track. Rotating the JOG WHEEL
clockwise temporarily speeds it up while rotating it counterclockwise slows it down. This is a useful tool for beat-
matching.
c) When the SEARCH button has been activated, rotating the JOG WHEEL will scan rapidly through the track.
d) When the SCRATCH button has been activated, rotating the JOG WHEEL will "scratch" over the audio of the
track, like a needle on a record.
10. SCRATCH – Turns scratch mode on or off. If scratch mode is on, the button will light up and the center part of the jog
wheel will scratch like a turntable when you spin it. If scratch mode is off, the center part of the jog wheel will pitch bend
when you spin it.
To change the scratch mode or style, hold down SCRATCH and turn the PARAMETER knob.
11. SEARCH – When engaged, search mode will allow you to use the center of the jog wheel to quickly scan through the
current track. If you do not touch the wheel for 10 seconds you will automatically exit search mode. Search speed can
be adjusted by holding the SEARCH button and turning the PARAMETER knob.
To adjust how quickly SEARCH scans through your tracks, hold down SEARCH and turn the PARAMETER knob.
12. STOP / START TIME – Use these knobs to adjust the speed that the music starts when you press play (START TIME)
or the speed that the music stops when you press pause (STOP TIME).
13. TAP – Pressing this button in time with the beat will help the built-in BPM counter detect the proper tempo. Holding the
button for 2 seconds will cause the BPM counter to reset and recalculate.
14. PITCH / KEYLOCK – The pitch button controls the range of the pitch fader as well as enabling and disabling key lock
mode.
Press and release the pitch button to cycle through pitch fader settings of +/- 6%, 12%, 25% and 100%. You can also
disable the pitch fader by pressing the pitch button again after selecting 100%.
The other function of this button is key lock. To engage key lock mode, hold the pitch button for two seconds. This
feature allows you to change the speed of the song without changing the key. The key of the song will lock to whatever
position the pitch fader is at when key lock is engaged.
To change the key of a song manually, hold PITCH / KEYLOCK and turn the PARAMETER knob.
15. PITCH FADER – This controls the speed of the music. Moving towards the "+" will speed the music up, while moving
towards the "-" will slow it down. The percentage of pitch adjustment is shown on the display.
16. PITCH BEND – Allows you to briefly adjust the speed of the music faster or slower for as long as the button is held.
Useful for quick speed adjustments to help match the beats of two songs that might be at the same tempo but have
beats that hit at slightly different times.
17. BLEEP / REVERSE SWITCH – Use this if you want to play a CD backwards. "Bleep" mode will play the music in
reverse out of the buffer while the CD timer continues to advance. When you release the switch, the CD will continue to
play where it would have been if you had not engaged the switch. "Reverse" mode will play music in reverse and the CD
time will also count backwards.
18. LOOP IN / OUT / RELOOP – These buttons are used to define your beginning and ending loop points (LOOP IN and
LOOP OUT) or to replay or restart your loop (RELOOP). For more information about this feature please see the looping
section of this manual.
19. TRIGGER BUTTONS – These buttons can be used for 3 possible functions, chosen by holding the REC button and
turning the PARAMETER knob. For more information see the "Multi Mode Trigger Buttons" section later in this manual.

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: 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.
HOT CUE: 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.
SAMPLE: 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.

10
LOOPING
The MIXDECK 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 MIXDECK will
loop between these two points. If you press LOOP
OUT again, the MIXDECK 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 MIXDECK will
jump back to the stutter point and play
from that point.

11
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: 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.
ECHO: 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.
CHOP: 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.
PAN: Alternates playing the right then left speaker channel based on either the tempo of the BPM 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.
PHASER: Sweeping phase shifter effect. It is similar to the flange effect, except that the flange effect has a more
pronounced harmonic sound, reminiscent of a jet engine passing overhead. A phase shifter is
enharmonic, and has a more "swooshing" sound. 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.
FLANGER: 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.
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.
USB MASTER MODE
By connecting a USB mass storage class device such as a USB hard drive,
thumb drive or portable media player to the MASTER USB connector on the top of
the MIXDECK, you can access, play, and scratch your music files in the same
way you might play a normal audio CD.
To access your USB device:
1. First make sure it is connected to the USB MASTER connector on the top panel of the MIXDECK.
2. Press and release the SOURCE button.
3. Turn the PARAMETER knob until the display indicates "USB-MASTER", then press down on the PARAMETER
knob.
4. After the MIXDECK has first analyzed the partition structure (max 9 partitions), then analyzed the folder structure
(max 999 folders) of the USB device, you can then navigate through your USB device by following the instructions
below.
USB Mass Storage Device
To access files on a USB mass storage class device, use the TRACK knob to choose which folder you want to open, then
press down on the knob to enter that folder. You can then use the TRACK knob to either navigate to another folder level or
choose an audio file in the current folder that you want to play.
Hint: To organize a large music collection you might consider creating a separate folder for each artist.
Please note:
•Because not all MP3 devices are USB mass storage class, not every player will be compatible with the MIXDECK.

Tips For Using USB Devices With Your MIXDECK
•When disconnecting a USB device from the MIXDECK, always make sure to use the SOURCE button to switch to
CD/MP3 Mode before disconnecting. Make sure that the letters "HD" are not blinking on the display when disconnecting
a USB device.
•Disconnecting a USB device while the MIXDECK is in USB MASTER Mode could possibly cause data on the USB
device to become corrupted and unreadable.
•Note: There is a limit of 999 songs per folder or playlist. Use multiple folders or playlists to separate large numbers of
songs.
•We do not recommend using MP3 files over 300MB as this may affect the performace of the MIXDECK.
•For large capacity HD, the MIXDECK can read a maximum of 9 disc partitions. Each partition is limited to 999 folders,
and each folder is limited to 999 songs.
USB MIDI MODE
You can also connect the MIXDECK to a computer via USB to use the
MIXDECK's CD decks as controllers for software programs that are
compliant with USB MIDI protocol. Check with your software
manufacturer to find out if your software supports a USB MIDI controller.
Note: The mixer and iPod controls do not have any MIDI function.
To activate USB MIDI mode, connect a USB cable from the MIXDECK USB SLAVE connector to a USB port on your computer.
Then press SOURCE and turn the parameter knob to select "USB-MIDI."
