Page 8: Setting Cue Points
SETTING CUE POINTS PLAY and CUE: Pressing PLAY / STUTTER starts playback. Pressing CUE will return the track to the last place playback was started. This is called the Cue Point. By alternately pressing PLAY / STUTTER and CUE, the track may be returned and played from the Cue Point any number of times. This is called "back cueing."... - Page 9 PITCH BEND and JOG WHEEL: These controls temporarily change the tempo of the music so the beats of the two decks can be aligned. The faster you rotate the JOG WHEEL or the longer you hold the "–/+" buttons, the greater the change in tempo. When the button or wheel is released, the deck will return to its usual tempo.
- Page 10 BEATKEEPER & INTERLOCK The CDN88 MP3 includes the Numark-patented Beatkeeper™ technology. Beatkeeper automatically tracks beats based on the frequencies and rhythmic patterns in the music. It detects and displays the track's BPM in the LCD and displays four-count information (i.e., where you are in a four-beat measure) in the MARCHING BAR GRAPH.

SMART LOOPING: The Beatkeeper and looping functions can work together to set perfect loops every time. For this to work correctly, the Beatkeeper must be on the beat.
- Page 14 RELOOPING / STUTTERING The RELOOP button performs two different functions, depending on the loop setting: Reloop: This function can only be used if Loop In and Loop Out Points are set. RELOOP automatically returns the track to the Loop in point and will play the loop until it is released with the LOOP OUT button.

The JOG WHEEL controls the rate of this effect. If the JOG WHEEL stops, the effect will automatically return to the "0."

- Page 17 PAN – Pan alternates between playing right and left audio channels based upon the BPM of the Beatkeeper. (This effect works best when the Beatkeeper is properly aligned.) The first activation of Pan alternates between right and left audio channels every eighth note (half of every beat). The LCD's BPM indicator will show "1-8,"...

This is useful for eliminating all the gaps between songs when playing a CD in Continuous Play Mode. - Page 19 Smart Looping – When Smart Looping is active, all Loop Points and stuttering will play perfectly to the beat of the music (as long as the Beatkeeper is accurate – see BEATKEEPER & INTERLOCK for more information). "SMART LOOP" will be shown on the LCD when this function is active.
