The first is based on the "PLAY" cue point and the second two are based upon "LOOP IN". Since the default "LOOP IN" points are also the initial start point your unit can be "stutter" started from up to 3 buttons. NOTE: The CD Player will always remember a new set "Hot" points until you actually set a new "LOOP IN" point or put in a new CD. The new point will be accessible until you remove the CD from the unit. If you change tracks and you previously set a "Loop In" on another track, pressing will jump to that point. - The Leader in DJ Technology ©2000 Numark Industries - 10 - http://www. numark. com CDN-88 Dual CD Player The BeatkeeperTM III and Interlock mode The CDN-88 includes the latest Numark patented BeatkeeperTM technology. The BeatkeeperTM automatically tracks beats based upon a combination of frequencies and rhythm patterns in the music. The Bar Graph: Most dance music and rock is set up in 4 beat increments called measures. Many of the features within the CDN-88 use this information for incredible results. It's important to understand the basics of how the Beatkeeper works to effectively take advantage of other advanced features in the unit. Typically most music starts on the down beat so the unit sets the first beat to where the music begins. To reset the down beat simply tap the the new downbeat location as the music is playing or in pause. BEAT SYNC: This button is used for resetting the downbeat and also re-calibrating the BPM. The Beatkeeper is considered by many to be the most accurate automatic beat counter on the market today, however, it occasionally may have trouble determining the correct BPM. This will happen when the music contains complex rhythms or may start without a beat at all. If the BPM showing in the display you know is incorrect or the beat at BPM From display LEDs are not flashing with the beat you have 2 options to reset the Beatkeeper. If this doesn't work you can manually tap on the beat and the display will indicate the new BPM. The Beatkeeper will then know which beats in the music it should be using to determine the correct BPM and track them through the song. Sometimes the unit will be tracking the wrong beat but have the correct BPM. To reset the downbeat simply BEATs not matched BEATs matched tap the once on the down beat. Marching Bar Graph: This is the middle graph that compares the music from both units. When the BPM and down beat match the green middle LEDs will also light up indicating a perfect mix when beat mixing. INTERLOCK: This button will automatically match the BPM both sides of the CDN ­88 and lock them together on the beat. Before using this function it is important to be sure the Beatkeeper is tracking the correct BPM and is actually synchronized with the beat.
