Features - Cortex DMIX-600 Manuel D'utilisation

The Cortex DMIX-600 has been designed & engineered to provide dig-
ital music playback and manipulation features demanded by profession-
al users. The DMIX-600 is designed to liberate DJs from the issues asso-
ciated with PC-based solutions, by eliminating the need for a computer
during performance. The DMIX-600 also offers superior portability and
flexibility over that of a typical PC.
Jog Wheel (Touch wheel)
The Jog Wheel(Touch Wheel) on the DMIX-600 provides highly precise
control for a variety of functions. With the Jog Wheel, the User can
search, pitch bend or even scratch just as if it were a vinyl turntable! As
well, this can provide an extremely powerful navigation tool for search-
ing menus, changing parameters and selecting music on your hard drive.
Pitch Control
High precision 60mm slide potentiometer for accurate adjustment of
speed.
• 0.05% pitch precision
In order to provide more precise pitch adjustment, the unit is able to
advance in increments of 0.05%. This aids in beat-matching between
two musical programs, with much finer pitch resolution than can be found
on most conventional professional CD players.
• Multiple pitch ranges
With pitch ranges of 4, 8, 12, and 24%, the pitch control's minimum and
maximum values can be altered to augment or reduce the amount of
pitch adjustment to a musical program.
• Pitch ON/OFF
By pressing the PITCH + and PITCH - buttons simultaneously, this toggles
whether or not the unit will respond to changes via the PITCH CONTROL
slide. The Pitch ON/OFF feature also functions as a pitch reset, when it
is used to turn the pitch OFF.

like 3 band EQ on each channel,microphone input with dedicated EQ,
replacable crossfader and on board digital effects. You also have have
a seperate booth output and balanced XLR outputs for more professional
applications.
Backlit displays
The backlit 20 Character LCD screen shows a variety of information,
including track titles, times, pitch, setup options, waveforms, loops and
search parameters. This display allows more extensive visualization of
parameters than a conventional CD player.

by using either the FILTER the FLANGER or the REVERB you are armed
with an added variety of tricks to compliment your mixing style.
CD Audio support
The DMIX-600 offers an unparalleled level of connectivity with all dri-
verless USB devices. The Cortex line of products are the first to offer the
ability to manipulate music stored on USB devices such as hard drives,
flash memory, optical drives, and personal music players, regardless of
platform. Through this innovation, DJs are able to consolidate the
amount of equipment and music needed during a performance. Even
more USB devices can be connected with the use of a compatible USB
hub.
Database-Driven Music Management
Despite the fact that a vast majority of people have access to USB stor-
age devices or portable music players, the Cortex DMIX-600 supports
the playback of CD Audio discs through a compatible USB external CD-
ROM, CD-RW, DVD-ROM, or DVD-RW drive. This is particularly useful
for DJs making a gradual migration, or for playing CDs provided by
clients.
Playlist Support
The entire line of Cortex Digital Music Players allows for the manage-
ment of music collections via a database-driven system. Using this
method, the database can be queried based on a number of different
criteria. This allows DJs to search by artist, title, genre, album, or search
string. Using this method allows the DJ to find a specific music selection
within seconds. The database is saved to the storage device the music is
being drawn from, so that it can be used with any Cortex unit, whether
it's in your personal rig or at a club! Cue Points that have been memo-
rized using the DMIX-600 are also stored along with the database infor-
mation on the active storage device. Once a Cue Point has been stored,
DJs have the ability to recall it each time that track is loaded.
Cross-Platform USB Connectivity
The DMIX-600 supports both iPod™ and User created Playlists, which
can be created using Apple iTunes™ (in the case of an Ipod™) or our
own DB SE software. When there are iPod™ Playlists available to be
loaded, a menu option will appear in the main Search Options menu.
Otherwise, user created playlists are accessible from the Playlist menu.
