(a) FADER “Q” START CONTROL: This feature is used in conjunction with American Audio® mixers that also feature “Fader

Q Start” control. Connect your DIGI-PRO’s as described in the set-up section of this manual. After set-up is completed, insert

CD's in to both drives. By moving the mixer’s crossfader from left to right you can start and pause your DIGI-PRO playback functions. For Example, if your mixer’s crossfader is all the way to the left (player one is playing, player two is in cue or pause mode), and you move the fader at least 20% to the right, player two will begin to play and player one will return to cue mode.

When the crossfader is to the right, and you move it 20% to the left, player one (will begin to play and player two will return to its’ cue point. You can create great effects similar to scratching with this feature. After storing cue points on each side of the CD player, different songs or samples may quickly be recalled by moving the mixer crossfader back and forth. New cue points can be easily selected on the DIGI-PRO player (see setting cue points page 13). “Q” Start control is easy to use and mastering this feature will help you create amazing effects with your music. Note for mixers with a Hamster Feature: For proper “Q” Start operation be sure your mixers “Hamster” setting are set to 1/2 (Normal Setting).

(b) BOP EFFECT: The Bop Effect button serves two features. First, it is a stutter effect, creating a sound similar to a sampler.

Second, it will return to the last Cue point in memory instantly. This will allow you to create great effects. To create the

BOP Effect, see BOP Effect on page 22.

(c) FLIP-FLOP: This feature is used in conjunction with American Audio® mixers that also feature Fader “Q” Start. For

FLIP-FLOP results you must use two DIGI-PRO players. Connect your DIGI-PRO’s as described in the set-up section of this manual. This feature will start the next player once one player has ended. For example, if player one is playing a disc and it ends, player two will instantly begin to play. You may set FLIP-FLOP to play track to track or disc to disc. For more information on this feature, see FLIP-FLOP™ on page 23.

(d) 60 SECOND TRANSPORT PROTECTION: The CD transport tray will automatically close if left open for more than 60 seconds. If a CD is left in the tray it will immediately cue.

(e) SLEEP MODE: The DIGI-PRO’s laser and pick-up assembly will power down after 15 minutes of inactivity (when in pause or cue mode). This will lengthen the life of your motor drive and laser. To initialize the player, just press the cue or play buttons.

(f) MEMORY BACKUP: The DIGI-PRO has a five year memory back-up, that will save your setting in case the power supply is accidentally disconnected. DIGI-PRO will automatically remember your last setting (repeat, SGL, CTN) even if you disconnect your main power.. The DIGI-PRO will store your cue points in memory if you accidentally open transport tray or shut off the power. Note: Memory cues are erased automatically when a new CD is played, or by holding memory button down for 5 seconds.

(g) JOG WHEEL PITCH BEND: During normal playback, the inner jog wheel acts as a momentary pitch bend. Turing the wheel in a clockwise direction will increase the speed and turning the wheel in a counter-clockwise direction will decrease the speed.

(h) SCRATCH BOX COMPATIBLE: This feature is used in conjunction with the American Audio® Scratch Box.™ mixers that also feature “Fader Q Start” control. When the DIGI-PRO is used in conjunction with the Scratch Box a turntable may be used to control the CD functions. See Scratch Box on page 25.

11. PITCH ADJUSTMENTS:

This function will increase or decrease a tracks playback speed or "PITCH," this is not a momentary change as in "PITCH BENDING" (see page 19). The maximum pitch bend percentage allowed is +/-16%. The PITCH

SLIDER (21) is used to decrease or increase the playback pitch. If the slider is move up (towards the top of the unit) the pitch will decrease, if the slider is moved down (towards the bottom of the unit) the pitch will increase. The PITCH SLIDER (23) adjustment can be changed to range from +/-8%, +/-12%, or +/-16%

(See changing "PITCH SLIDER PERCENTAGE RANGE" figure 19/page 20). The pitch adjustments will effect playback, reverse playback, and loops.

Activating the Pitch Slider (23): To activate the PITCH SLIDER

(23) , turn the pitch function on. Press the PITCH BUTTON (7) to turn on the pitch function, when the pitch function is activated a LED will begin to glow (or flash depending on what pitch percentage value is selected, see changing pitch values on page 18). If the pitch function is not activated neither the PITCH SLIDER (23) nor the PITCH BEND

BUTTONS (15 & 16) will not function.

Figure 12

Using the Pitch Slider (21): To use the PITCH SLIDER (23) slide the slider up and down. Down will increase the pitch and up will decrease the pitch. When the slider is in the center position, a green

LED just left of the slider will glow. When this slider LED is glowing there is zero pitch being applied to a track.

Figure 13

Adjusting the Pitch Slider's Range (21): You may change the PITCH

SLIDER'S (23) operating range. To change the operating range be sure the pitch function is turned on, see figure 17. The pitch percentage can be changed between +/-8%, +/-12%, and +/-16%. +/-8% will allow the least amount of pitch manipulation and +/-16% will allow the most amount of pitch manipulation. To adjust to the different values tap the

P.SELECT BUTTON (8) . The LED beside the PITCH BUTTON (7) will indicate which pitch percentage mode the unit is operating in.

Glowing green for +/-8%, glowing orange for +/-12%, or glowing red for +/-16%. Note, the pitch function must be activated to receive a

12. PITCH BEND:

This function will momentarily increase or decrease a tracks playback speed. There are two ways to operate this function with the (-) & (+) PITCH BUTTONS (25) or with the JOG WHEEL (19). The maximum pitch bend percentage allowed is +/- 16%. The pitch bend function will work in conjunction with the PITCH SLIDER

(23) pitch setting. The PITCH SLIDER (23) adjustment can be changed to range from +/-8%, +/-12%, or

+/-16% (See changing "PITCH SLIDER PERCENTAGE RANGE" on page 16). For example, if the PITCH

SLIDER (23) is set to a 2% pitch gain the pitch bending process will begin at 2% and wi ll continue to the maximum of /+16%.

PITCH BEND BUTTONS (15 & 16):

The (+) PITCH BEND BUTTON (15 & 16) will provide a speed bump and the (-) PITCH BEND BUTTON (15) will provide a slow down. The extent to which the speed changes is proportionate to the amount of time the button is pressed. For example, if the (+) PITCH BEND BUTTON (16) is held down continuously, the disc speed will increases and will continue to increase until reaches a maximum of 100% speed gain. When you release the (+) PITCH BEND BUTTON (16) the disc speed will automati c ally return to it’s previous speed.

Holding down or tapping on the (+) PITCH

BEND BUTTON (16) will provide a speed bump in the playback pitch.

Figure 15

Holding down or tapping on the

(-) PITCH BEND BUTTON (15) will provide a slow down in the playback pitch.

FLIP-FLOP™

This feature is kind of “auto pilot." “Flip-Flop” mode can only function with the use of two DIGI-PRO units. The “Flip-Flop” function may be used with or without an American Audio “Q” deck mixer, you can have one unit begin playback when the other ends. You can “Flip Flop” single tracks, the entire disc, a combination of the two, or you can even “Flip-Flop” your programmed tracks.

To FLIP-FLOP single tracks or programmed tracks:

1) Connect your system as described in the set up section on page 6.

2) Set your mixer’s crossfader to the center position.

3) Be sure your two units are single mode. SINGLE (67) should be indicated in the LCD (14).

4) Load your two DIGI-PRO with audio disc.

5) After they have both cued, press the PLAY/

PAUSE BUTTON (29) on one of your drive to

begin playback.

6) After the first unit’s single track has ended the

second unit’s track will immediately begin play-

back.

7) FLIP FLOP will continue until you stop it or power

is interrupted.

Figure 35

To FLIP-FLOP entire CDs:

To FLIP-FLOP an entire disc, be sure both drives are in continuous play mode. The SINGLE ICON

(67) should not be displayed in the LCD (14) . When both drives are in continuous play mode, follow the directions for single track FLIP-FLOP as detailed above. When one the disc in one unit ends the other unit will immediately begin playback.

Combining FLIP-FLOP modes:

Flip-Flop modes may combined. One unit may run in single mode and the other in continuous mode.

When the units are arranged in this fashion, the unit in single mode will play a single track and flip to the next unit. The next unit will then play the entire disc and flip back to the other. The other will then play the next track and flip back to the other unit, and so on.

Fader Q-Start™

This function works in conjunction with a compatible American Audio “Q-Start" DJ mixer. When used with a compatible CD player, you can use the crossfader to start and stop the CD Player with the slide of the fader.

Connecting your DIGI-PRO to a Fader “Q” Start mixer for “Flip Flop” control: Be sure to connect

1/8” mini plugs from the control connection on the rear your DIGI-PRO to the 1/8” control jack on the rear of American DJ “Q” series mixer. That’s it, you’ll be set for FLIP FLOP!

Scratch Box™ Compatible

The American DJ Scratch Box is a devices that simulates real time scratch of a CD. The Scratch Box device is used in conjunction with any turntable and any Scratch Box compatible American DJ CD player. For details of the Scratch Box refer to page 28.

BUILT-IN EFFECTS:

The DIGI-PRO™ comes with two built in effects. Only one effect may be used at any given time. The Built-in effects include FILTER and Coast. When either effect is activated a corresponding icon will display in the LCD. For example when the FILTER EFFECT (3) is activated a " 1" (50) icon will display in the LCD (14) . You can choose to use the effects with their default setting or you may choose activate the FILTER/COAST/ADJUST (1) function to increase the effect parameters (see below). Each effect has two sets of parameters. All parameters will be reset to there default values when power is shut off.

1. SCRATCH EFFECT - This button activates the SCRATCH effect. This effect can only be used in conjunction with an

American DJ Scratch Box.™ When the SCRATCH effect is engaged you may use any turntable to simulate real time scratch of any CD loaded in the CD transport. In actuality the turntable will simulate many functions such as scratching, start-up, stop, and power-off.

Figure 36

2. COAST EFFECT: This effect simulates turning the power off on a turntable, which cause a turntable platter to slowly spin down until it loses momentum and stops. The COAST effect may also be used to simulates a turntable slowly revving up to it's proper speed.
