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:
An isolation (band pass) filter that lets you play only a specific frequency of the music. Rotation of the
FILTER:
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.
Creates a reverb effect. The rate can be adjusted with the PARAMETER knob. Holding down the
ECHO:
PARAMETER knob while turning will allow you to synch the effect to a ratio of the BPM counter.

CHOP:
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.
•
If there are no MP3 files inside a folder you are browsing on your external device, the MIXDECK will display "No MP3
files in this folder, PLS try another one."
•
To change MP3 display mode, hold the RECALL / STORE button and press the (PLAY) MODE button to toggle between
file name, ID3 song title, ID3 album title and ID3 artist name.
