GLOBAL CONTROLS
This section contains the global
controls for the D2, such as
navigation and function controls, as
well as the Beatkeeper and a large
LCD screen to browse and monitor
your performance.
The features of the global section
are as follows:
1. PUSH SELECT – This knob
is used to navigate lists,
change settings, and operate
various parts of the User
Interface. It can be pressed
to select or change the
highlighted item, when
appropriate.
2. LCD – The large screen displays information about the D2, the decks, your attached removable media
and different menu options.
3. DISPLAY CONTRAST – You can use this knob to increase or decrease the contrast of the LCD.
4. LIBRARY – This button allows you to access the library of music stored on the removable media
connected to the D2. Please refer to the “Navigating the Library” section of this manual for more
information on how to browse and load music from your removable media.
5. CRATE – This button allows you to view the “Crate”. Any tracks that you send to the Crate will appear
in this list. While you are viewing the Crate, you can use the multifunctional buttons below the screen
to send tracks to either deck for mixing, pull them back into the Crate for later use if they are already
playing, or remove them from the Crate altogether. You may also switch the track order in the Crate, if
you would like, by pressing down the PUSH SELECT knob on a track and then rotating the knob while
it is pressed down – this will move the selected track up or down in the list. Please see “The Crate”
section of this manual for more information on the Crate feature.
6. UTILITY – Pressing this button will take you to the Utility menu where you can adjust display
preferences, restore settings to their factory default state and calibrate the pitch sliders. Please see
“Utility” section for details.
7. VIEW – You may use this button to access different information about the music playing on the decks.
The VIEW button will toggle between Track View and Profile View. Please see “Views” section for
more information.
8. < / > Buttons – These two buttons are used to scroll through available pages of selections, when
available. If there are additional pages to be viewed, the arrow segments above the buttons will be
highlighted. These buttons are also used to move the cursor when entering text.
9. Menu Buttons – These four buttons are used to select from available menu items displayed on the
screen. Depending on the menu that you are viewing, the functionality of these buttons will change.
The screen will display the function of the button directly above it.
10. EJECT – Press this button to select which mass storage device you would like to eject. When you
press this button, you will see a list of the devices currently attached to the D2. Select which device
you would like to eject, using the multifunctional buttons below the display.
Please note: Always eject your devices before physically removing them from the D2. If
you fail to eject a device before removing it, the data on the device may become corrupt
and unusable.
