Operation Manual

Note: Using extreme pitch settings while Key Lock is activated may result in unwanted audio artifacts.

To avoid choppy audio playback please use modest pitch modifications while Key Lock is activated.

Note: With Key Lock engaged, the DDS will automatically reset a newly loaded track to its natural

pitch and lock the tempo to the current Pitch slider position.

DECK MODE SETTINGS (A AND B)

MODE buttons, located near the pitch sliders of each deck, can be pressed to pop up the settings dialog for

Deck A or B. The appropriate button lights up blue while active. The settings are split into three different

pages, accessible by pressing the corresponding button below the display: Pitch, Control, Display. Rotate

the PUSH SELECT knob to change the highlighted field. To move between the available fields, press the

PUSH SELECT knob. To exit the Mode dialog, press MODE again.

PITCH

PITCH RANGE: Select the desired pitch range for the pitch

slider. Different pitch ranges allow for different precision

over the speed of the music. Selecting a smaller pitch

range, such as ±6%, allows for more precise control over the

speed of the music. Selecting a larger pitch range, such as

+25/-100%, allows for more extreme speed adjustments and

can be used for interesting effects.
