Loading And Saving The Crate - Numark iDJ2 Guide D'utilisation

The order of the crate is significant to iDJ² only in continuous play modes (see "Track Loading" section).
However, you may choose to maintain a play order as an aid to organizing your set. To change a track's
position in the crate, first highlight it, then press the PUSH TO ENTER knob. Rotate to move the track
through the list to its new position and press again or select Done to complete the operation. To drop the
track back at its original position select Undo. Note that a track pulled from a deck is always sent to the
top of the crate whereas tracks sent from the library always go to the bottom.
The Clear operation, which completely empties the crate, prompts for confirmation as it could be a little
inconvenient to do this by mistake during a performance!
You may also reorder tracks in the crate by holding down the PUSH TO ENTER knob on a selected track
and turning the knob to select its new position within the crate. When you release the PUSH TO ENTER
knob, the track will be moved to the selected location. If you are using a keyboard the same operation
may be achieved by pressing the Return key on the highlighted track and using the arrow keys to select its
new location. Pressing Return again will put the selected track at this location.

LOADING AND SAVING THE CRATE

The crate is stored automatically within the library from which its tracks have been sent. Each time a
library is loaded iDJ² checks whether it previously had tracks in the crate and, if so, offers the option to
restore them.
Select Load to restore tracks to the crate or select Ignore
to discard them. Once you have selected Ignore the crate
data is lost forever (of course the tracks are still in the
library and can be sent to the crate all over again).
You may be wondering what happens if your crate
contains tracks from multiple libraries. In this case parts of
the crate are stored within each library. To fully restore the
crate, all of the libraries must be reloaded by making sure
that all the devices used are connected to the iDJ². If one
library is not connected, or should you choose to ignore the crate for that library, a partial crate will be
restored from the other libraries. iDJ² will attempt to recreate the crate in the original order, even if the
libraries are loaded in no particular order. If this all sounds a little confusing then rest assured that, in brief,
iDJ² will simply try to do the most logical thing!
It is intended that the crate is a somewhat short term entity by nature. If you want to save a more
permanent running order you should consider using playlists which can easily be sent to the crate in one
operation (see "Working With Playlists").
