B-CONTROL DEEJAY BCD3000
The PHONES output (1/4" stereo connector) is used for
connecting headphones.
The PHONES VOL control lets you adjust the volume level
of the Headphone output
The PHONES MIX control is used to adjust the relation
between the stereo MASTER OUT and MONITOR OUT
signal. When the control is turned fully left, you hear the
MONITOR OUT signal, and when turned fully right, you
hear the MASTER OUT signal.
The KEY DECK A+B button is used to activate the "Key
Lock" function of the TRAKTOR 3 LE software. The
"pitching" of a track usually changes both the music's speed
(tempo) and pitch/key. The "Key Lock" function (or Master
Tempo) makes sure the pitch is retained. Find more on this
topic in the PDF manual of TRAKTOR 3 LE.
Set the volume of the MASTER output with the MASTER
OUTPUT control.
The POWER ON-LED lights up when the BCD3000 is
switched on.
The deck sections A and B
The control elements of decks A and B are the same. However,
some of them are grouped the opposite way round. We will
therefore describe the elements to only once. All of these
control elements refer to the software functions which can be
"remotely" controlled from the BCD3000.
The crossfader is used to fade between deck A and deck B.
The GAIN control allows you to adjust the deck signal to a
nominal level.
Each deck features a 3-band equalizer (HI, MID and LOW)
with kill feature. Thus, the signal can be attenuated to a
much greater extent (-24 dB) than it can be raised (+12 dB).
The KILL buttons, which are found below the EQ
controllers, allow you to cut out the relevant frequency
range at the push of a button. This way you can achieve
interesting filter effects. The function is also required for
beat juggling.
The SET CUE button sets a cue point at the current position
of the track being played. This happens without interrupting
playback. You can find information on the CUE function in
Chapter 5.2.
SET LOOP allows you to set the start and end points of a
four-beat sequence that is to be played back repeatedly
(loop). The first time this button is pressed, the start point
of the loop is set and the following four beats are repeated
as often as you like. Press the button a second time to stop
the loop.
RELOOP is used to play a loop that you specified with SET
LOOP beforehand. Press SET LOOP
to stop the loop.
SYNC allows you to synchronize two tracks, which are
running on Deck A and B, by matching their speeds. The
deck, which has its SYNC button pressed, synchronizes
itself automatically with the speed of the second deck.
The Scratch Wheel
deck is playing or paused. Please press the SCRATCH
button (LED lights up) in order to scratch.
The VOLUME fader is used to adjust the volume level of the
particular deck.
Press the PLAY button to begin playback. Press this button
a second time to stop playback. By pressing PLAY again,
playback continues from the point at which it was stopped.
Every time playback is stopped, the cue point is placed at
the current song position. You can find information on the
CUE function in Chapter 5.2.

Press the CUE button to stop playback and return to the
last set cue point.
By keeping the CUE button pressed, the music begins at
the cue point and continues until you let go of the button.
Then, the deck jumps back to the cue point. You can find
information on the CUE function in Chapter 5.2.
BEND buttons: Press the UP button (+) to increase the
playback speed. Press the DOWN button (–) to decrease
the playback speed. This function lets you match the beats
of two playing tracks.
The Pitch fader adjusts the playback speed seamlessly.
Use the SEARCH buttons to move forward or backward in
a song.
The function performed by the scratch wheel depends on
whether the deck is in PLAY or PAUSE mode.
In PLAY mode, re-create the analog feel by using the wheel
to nudge (turn wheel to the right) or slow down (turn
wheel to the left), allowing you to easily match the speed
of the current deck to the speed of the other deck playing.
Press the SCRATCH button in order for you to scratch with
the wheel.
In PAUSE mode, you can use the wheel to move back and
forth through the song. You can also scratch with the
wheel by pressing the SCRATCH button.
