Numark NDX 800 Quick Start Quide page 11

USB MASTER MODE
By connecting a USB mass storage class device such as a USB hard drive,
thumb drive or portable media player to the USB MASTER connector on the top of
the NDX800, you can access, play, and scratch your music files in the same way
you might play a normal audio CD.
To access your USB device:
1. First make sure it is connected to the USB MASTER connector on the top panel of the NDX800.
2. Press and release the SOURCE button.
3. Turn the PARAMETER knob until the display indicates "USB-MASTER", then press down on the PARAMETER
knob.
4. After the NDX800 has first analyzed the partition structure (max 9 partitions), then analyzed the folder structure
(max 999 folders) of the USB device, you can then navigate through your USB device by following the instructions
below.
USB Mass Storage Device
To access files on a USB mass storage class device, use the TRACK knob to choose which folder you want to open, then
press down on the knob to enter that folder. You can then use the TRACK knob to either navigate to another folder level or
choose an audio file in the current folder that you want to play.
Hint: To organize a large music collection you might consider creating a separate folder for each artist.
Please note:
• Because not all MP3 devices are USB mass storage class, not every player will be compatible with the NDX800.
• If there are no MP3 files inside a folder you are browsing on your external device, the NDX800 will display "No
MP3 files in this folder, PLS try another one."
• To change MP3 display mode, hold the RECALL / STORE button and press the (PLAY) MODE button to toggle
between file name, ID3 song title, ID3 album title and ID3 artist name.
Tips For Using USB Devices With Your NDX800
•
When disconnecting a USB device from the NDX800, always make sure to use the SOURCE button to switch to
CD/MP3 Mode before disconnecting. Make sure that the letters "HD" are not blinking on the display when disconnecting
a USB device.
•
Disconnecting a USB device while the NDX800 is in USB MASTER Mode could possibly cause data on the USB device
to become corrupted and unreadable.
•
Note: There is a limit of 999 songs per folder or playlist. Use multiple folders or playlists to separate large numbers of
songs.
•
We do not recommend using MP3 files over 300MB as this may affect the performace of the NDX800.
•
For large capacity HD, the NDX800 can read a maximum of 9 disc partitions. Each partition is limited to 999 folders, and
each folder is limited to 999 songs.
USB MIDI MODE
You can also connect the NDX800 to a computer via USB to use the NDX800 as a controller for software programs that are
compliant with USB MIDI protocol. Check with your software manufacturer to find out if your software supports a USB MIDI
controller.
To activate USB MIDI mode, connect a USB cable from the NDX800 USB SLAVE connector to a USB port on your computer.
Then press SOURCE and turn the parameter knob to select "USB-MIDI."
