Control Unit; Play Mode - JB Systems CD 670 Mode D'emploi

ENGLISH

CONTROL UNIT:

1. JOG WHEEL: This jog wheel serves 4 functions depending on the mode you are
working in.
 The jog wheel acts as a slow frame search (1/75sec) control when the CD is not
playing but either paused or set to a cue point. To set a new cue point, spin the
wheel then press PLAY or LOOP IN when you have determined the proper position.
Press CUE to return to the "CUE POINT".
 If the track is playing and the search function (15) is not active, the jog wheel
temporarily bends the pitch of the music up to +/-10% by rotating the wheel
clockwise to speed it up or counterclockwise to slow it down. The amount of pitch
change is determined by the speed of rotation.
 If the search function (15) is active, you will be able to search at a higher speed
through the current track.
 When the loop edit function is selected, you can use the jog wheel to edit the
endpoint of the loop.
2. R.CUE/LOOP IN button: Allows you to set the cue point without stopping the
playback (CUE ON THE FLY). This button also sets the beginning of a seamless loop.
When the button contains a cue point it lights up in green.
3. CUE button: Pressing the CUE button during playback provides an immediate return
to the position at which play was started. Playback starts immediately from the
programmed cue point for as long as the CUE button is pressed. The CD player jumps
back to the cue point as soon as the CUE button is released. Also with the unit in
pause mode (Play/Pause button blinks) the jog wheel is used to set a different start
point. By pressing "PLAY/PAUSE" or "R.CUE/LOOP" button followed by "CUE", you
can confirm this new cue point.
4. OUT/EXIT button: Used to set the endpoint when looping music. The player starts to
loop seamlessly until you press this button again to exit. When a loop is programmed
but not active you can also restart the loop. The point where you press the button will
be memorized as the new end point of the loop. In loop edit mode pressing the
OUT/EXIT button stops the loop editing and saves the new loop endpoint.
5. PLAY/PAUSE button: every time you press the PLAY/PAUSE button the CD player
changes from play to pause or from pause to play. The button blinks as long as the
player is set to pause.
6. RELOOP/STUTTER button: This button has 3 functions:
 RELOOP: When a loop was programmed and you have hit the OUT/EXIT button,
press the reloop button to enter the loop again. To exit the loop press the OUT/EXIT
button. (intro and end points of the loop are unchanged)

 STUTTER: When a loop is playing you can press this button to restart the loop at
once. You can also press this button when a track is not playing in loop. Every time
the RELOOP/STUTTER button is pressed, it will restart the music from the
preprogrammed cue point. The stutter effect adds extra creativity to your
performance.
 ENTER EDIT LOOP MODE: When a loop is programmed (LOOP IN and OUT/EXIT
buttons are on) you can enter loop edit mode by pressing the RELOOP/STUTTER
button until the display shows "Ed".
7. SEARCH buttons: These buttons are used to search at high speed inside a track.
8. TRACK SEARCH Buttons: These buttons are used to select the track to be played.
Forward skip & back skip. Press the +10 button to skip 10 tracks at once.
9. PITCH BEND buttons: The speed rises while the "+ button" is pressed and returns to
the original pitch when the button is released. The speed drops when the "– button" is
pressed and returns to the original pitch when the button is released. These buttons
can be used to synchronize the beats of 2 tracks.
10. TAP button: The CD670 has a full automatic BPM-counter. In some rare cases the
automatic beat counter doesn't count as it should do (beats are out of the normal
range or there's simply no beat to detect). In these cases you can help the beat
counter by manually tapping this button to the rhythm of the beat.
player is in manual beat mode, the small "BPM" above the BPM-display blinks. When
you select another track the beat counter automatically switched back to automatic
mode. You can also manually switch back to the automatic mode by pressing the TAP
button until the display shows "Auto bPm". (the small "BPM" above the BPM-display
stops blinking)
Switching between BPM and PITCH display: standard the display is set to BPM
mode but you can also set it to PITCH mode: press the "NEXT TRACK" button shortly
while you keep the TAP button pressed to toggle the 2 display modes.
11. PITCH button: This button is used to turn the speed function on and off. You can also
select 3 different pitch ranges (+/-4%, 8%, 16%): every time you press the "PITCH
BEND –" button shortly while you keep the PITCH button pressed, you will change the
pitch range. (see pitch range LEDs)
12. PITCH slider: Press the PITCH button, so it is lit. The speed can be changed up to +/-
16% by moving the fader. The speed will not change when the pitch range LEDs, on
the right of the PITCH button are off.
13. RELAY button: When you switch the Relay function on, alternately a track will be
played from both CDs until the relay function is disengaged. You can always put a new
CD in the player that is waiting in standby mode. In this way you can create an endless
program. Perfect for use in pubs etc.
14. OPEN/CLOSE Button: Press to load or eject the disc. Each press will open or close
the disc tray on the transport.
NOTE: The tray will not open when the disc is playing, first press the PLAY/PAUSE button.
15. SEARCH MODE button: press this button to toggle the function of the JOG
WHEEL(1) between fast search mode (the yellow LED is lit) and normal mode. The
fast search function is automatically turned off when the JOG WHEEL is not used for
more than 10seconds.
 PLAY MODE: normally the JOG WHEEL is used as pitch bend tool to synchronize
the beats of the playing track to another track. When the fast search mode is turned
on, you can use the JOG WHEEL to search very quickly forward/backward inside
the current track.
