GLOBAL CONTROLS
This section contains the global controls for the DDS, 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 DDS, the decks, your
attached removable
media and different menu
options.
3. LIBRARY – This button allows you to access the library of music stored on the removable media
connected to the DDS. 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.
4. 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 the PUSH SELECT knob on a track, rotating the knob to select a different
location in the list, then pressing the PUSH SELECT knob again to place the track at the selected
location. Please see “The Crate” section of this manual for more information on the Crate feature.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. < / > 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.
8. 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.

press this button, you will see a list of the devices currently attached to the DDS. 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 DDS. If
you fail to eject a device before removing it, the data on the device may become corrupt
and unusable.
