(a)
FADER "Q" START CONTROL: This feature is used in conjunction with most American Audio
audio mixers that also feature "Fader Q-Start" control. Connect your Velocity as described in the set-up section of
this manual. After set up is completed load CDs into both players. By moving the mixer's crossfader from left to right
you can start and pause the Velocity™ playback functions. For Example, if the mixer's crossfader is all the way to
the left (player one is playing and player two is in cue or pause mode), and you move the fader at least 20% to the
right, player two (2) will begin to play and player one (1) will return to cue mode. When the crossfader is to the right,
and you move it 20% to the left, player one (1) will begin to play and player two (2) will return to its' cue point. You
can create great effects similar to scratching with this feature. After storing cue points on each side of the CD player,
different songs or samples may quickly be recalled by moving the mixer crossfader back and forth. New cue points
can be easily selected on the Velocity™ player (see setting cue points page 18). "Q" Start control is easy to use and
mastering this feature will help you create amazing effects with your music. Note: For proper "Q" Start operation on
mixers with a "Hamster" switch, be sure the "Hamster" setting is set to 1/2 (Normal Setting).
(b) BOP EFFECT: The Bop Effect button serves two features. First, it is a stutter effect, creating a sound similar to a
sampler. Second, it will return to the last Cue point in memory instantly. This will allow you to create great effects.
To create the BOP Effect, see BOP Effect on page 24.
(c) FLIP-FLOP: This feature is used in conjunction with American Audio
FLIP-FLOP results you must use two (2) Velocity™ players. Connect your Velocity's as described in
the set-up section of this manual. This feature will start the next player once one (1) player has ended. For example,
if player one (1) is playing a disc and it ends, player two (2) will instantly begin to play. You may set FLIP-FLOP to
play track to track or disc to disc. For more information on this feature, see FLIP-FLOP™ on page 37.
(d) MEMORY BACKUP: The Velocity™ has a five (5) year memory back-up, that will save your setting in case the
power supply is accidentally disconnected. Velocity™ will remember your last setting (SGL, CTN, and
effect parameters) even if you disconnect your main power. The Velocity™ will store your cue points and
samples in memory if you accidentally eject a disc or shut off the power. See memory on page 26.
(e) PROGRAMMABLE CUE POINTS: The Velocity™ has three Flash Start Buttons (8). 128 Cue points can be
stored in each of the FLASH START BUTTONS (6), for a total of 384. These cue points can be stored into the unit's
internal memory and may be recalled at any time. See setting "Cue Points" on page 18.
(f) FLASH START FUNCTION: This feature is used in conjunction with most American Audio
audio mixers that also feature "Fader Q Start" control. This function work similar to the Fader "Q" Start Control
described above. In this case the crossfader is used to start and stop any sample that is stored in the players
memory.
