Channel Bass Control – This knob is used to adjust the low frequency levels of a channel
allowing for a maximum bass gain of +6dB or maximum signal decrease of -100dB. Turning
the knob in a counter-clockwise direction will decrease the amount of bass applied to a
channel signal, turning the knob in a clockwise direction will increase the amount of bass
applied to a channel signal.
(7) IN, OUT, Reloop, & Loop Buttons
IN Button – "Cue On The Fly" - This function allows you to set a Cue Point without
music interruption ("on the fly"). This button also sets the starting point of a seamless
loop.
OUT Button – This button is used to set the ending point of a loop. A loop is started by
pressing the IN Button, pressing the OUT Button sets the loop ending point. The loop
will continue to play until the Out Button is pressed once again.
Reloop Button – If a seamless loop has been made, but the player is not actively in
seamless loop mode (a loop is not playing), pressing the Reloop Button will instantly
reactivate the seamless loop mode. To exit loop, press the Out Button.
(8) Search Buttons
This search button allows you to quickly scan backwards through a track.
This search button allows you to quickly scan forwards through a track.
(9) Vinyl – Pushing this button activates Vinyl mode.
(10) Load Buttons – These buttons are used to load the selected song to the assigned deck in
the software.
(11) Channel Fader – These faders are used to control the output signal of any source
assigned to its particular channel.
(12) Crossfader – This fader is used to blend the output signals of channels A and B together.
When the fader is in the full left position (channel A), the output signal of channel A will be
controlled by the master volume level. The same fundamentals will apply for channel B.
Sliding the fader from one position to another will vary the output signals of channels A and
B respectively. When the crossfader is set in the center position, the output signals of both
the channels A and channels B will be even.
(13) Channel Volume Level Indicators – The LED indicators that run along each channels EQ
section are used to measure incoming signal levels. Use these indicators to visually maintain
an average signal output of +4dB. A consistent average output level of +4dB will produce a
clean output signal. When no Cue sources are selected, these indicate the volume level on
the Master Output. When one or more Cue sources are selected, these indicate the volume
levels on all of the Cue sources combined. At power-on, these indicate the VMS2™ firmware
