The DN-S5000 table top single CD player is equipped with a variety of advanced features, functions and rich performance for unlimited creativeness and showmanship. Professional Structure and parts 1. Active Motor Platter (New) When playback is started, the Platter turns in the same way as with an analog turntable. The active motor Platter consists of the Motordriven Platter, Slip Mat and Scratch Disc, so the beginnings of tracks can be found, the beat can be matched and scratching can be performed with the same feeling as an analog turntable. 2. Slot loading and Removable drive (New) Our newly designed replaceable drive (Slot-in type) structure is geared for professionals who require virtually "zero down time". The heavyduty drives are built with optimum parts to assure longevity. 3. Visible Displays Visibility is greatly thanks to the large FL tube displays, backlit buttons and disc opening illumination, which comes in handy during low light environments. 4. Improved Controller Interface Good feeling and operation thanks to a large 190mm Platter, SCRATCH Direction Select knob, SCRATCH Source Select knob, FAST SEARCH knob, TRACK/PARAMETERS knob, 100mm pitch slider and soft rubber buttons. Features and Functions The implementation of powerful DSP's and large memory capacity allows for many new controlling features such as: 1. SCRATCH (Improved) Thanks to the active motor Platter, the Scratch sound is as good as with analog turntables. Furthermore, the Main Track, a-Track and Samples can be selected as the Scratch sound source at the touch of a knob. The Scratch direction (both/forward) can also be switched at the touch of a knob, allowing for a variety of Scratch operations not possible with analog turntables. 2. HOT DISC (New) Discs can be replaced while the sound is still playing (for up to 35 seconds). If the disc is replaced during the Seamless Loop mode (maximum 35 seconds between points A and B), the disc can be replaced without worrying about the time. Thanks to the Alpha-Track and Hot Disc functions, sound can be played with the same feel as a dual CD player, even when using a single DN-S5000. 3. MIRROR MIX (New) The Alpha-Track can be played with a delay of the specified beat or time after the Main Track. Mirror Mixing is also possible in the RVS, dump and Scratch play modes, so a variety of sound effects can be achieved. 4. ALPHA-TRACK PLAY This powerful function succeeded from our DND9000 dual CD player allows independent and 6 simultaneous playback of another track from the same disc, we call this the "Alpha-Track". The playing pitch and output level for the Alpha-Track can be independently adjusted. 5. ALPHA-MODE The Alpha-Track output can be monitored through the ALPHA OUT RCA jacks separately, so you can play up to two tracks simultaneously through a mixer. This lets you switch smoothly from a "Live" playing track to the next track on the same disc in a single unit with no break in sound. 6. HOT START and STUTTER The Hot Start function lets you start playback immediately from a set point decided by you. Up to four points can be set in the 4 Hot Start mode. The loaded Hot Starts can also be used to "Stutter" those points. When in Stutter mode, momentary audio is triggered according to the length of time of which these buttons are held down and released. 7. SEAMLESS LOOP (Improved) With this function, any section on a disc can be played repeatedly between A & B points with no break in sound or limit in length. The DN-S5000 supports a total of four Seamless Loops in a single unit. The DN-S5000 also has a variety of looping functions. 8. SPLICE This function removes unwanted sections of a track seamlessly such as; long vocal breaks found in dance mixes or explicit lyrics. 9. SAMPLER Two on-board digital Samplers can record up to 15 seconds CD quality sound at 44.1kHz sampling frequency. You can seamlessly loop these samples or play them backwards (REVERSE). The pitch and output level of each sample can be adjusted independently. The B point can be easily set or changed exactly the same way as you would with the A-B Seamless Loop function. 10. A/B TRIM and MOVE The A and B points for the Seamless Loop, Sampler loop and Splice points can easily be adjusted using the Scratch Disc. Trim and Move modes are available. A-B TRIM: For adjusting the points while playing the live loop. A/B MOVE: For moving the points using the manual search. 11. PLATTER MODE (Improved) Analog turntable-like playback can be simulated using five Platter effects. DRAG START: Simulates the dragging sound of a turntable's slow starting up from a stop mode. (Start-up time can be adjusted.) BRAKE: Simulates a winding-down sound of a turntable coming to a full stop slowly. (Slowing-down time can be adjusted.) TAIL ECHO: Adds an echo sound when playback is paused. DUMP: Plays the sound backwards while continuing in a forward motion without losing "elapse time" when you return back to normal play. RVS: (Reverse) Plays the sound backwards until you return to normal play. 12. AUTO BPM COUNTER, BPM LOCK, MANUAL TAP, and MANUAL BPM INPUT (New) In addition to an Auto BPM counter and Manual Tap function, the DN-S5000 is also equipped with a Lock function for temporarily locking the Auto BPM counter and a Manual BPM Input function for inputting the BPM value directly by a Rotary knob, so the BPM setting can be made easily. 13. MEMO Various settings such as Cue Points, Hot Starts, A-B Loops, A-B Splice, Pitch and Key Adjust can be saved to the internal non-volatile memory for later recall. Up to 5000 points are available (1 memory per track). The memory function can also be used in the Alpha Mode and memory contents can be exchanged with another DN-S5000, DN-D9000 or DN-2600F. 14. PITCH/KEY ADJUST PITCH: Playback speed is adjusted with PITCH slider. Adjustable pitch ranges are +/- 4, 10, 16, 24, 100% (selectable). KEY ADJUST: Keeps the original key even if the pitch playing speed is changed with the PITCH slider. 15. DIGITAL OUT (Improved) The digital output for Main and Alpha-Track provides a true 100% digital signal without any restrictions or limitations regardless of pitch change or mode setting. 16. FADER START / X-EFFECT IN/OUT (New) The DN-S5000 FADER START and X-EFFECT controls are compatible with our DN-X800 mixer. Only Fader Start is compatible with the DN-X400 mixer. When two DN-S5000s are connected by X-EFFECT, it is possible to compare their memos. 17. SHOCKPROOF MEMORY 16 seconds of shock-proof memory guards against audible interruptions due to external mechanical shocks such as bumps or other hard vibrations, which is especially helpful for the mobile DJ as well as for nightclub-installed applications. 18. PROGRAM/RANDOM/RELAY PLAY You can playback tracks in various modes with PROGRAM Play, RANDOM Play and RELAY Play modes. 19. PRESETS It is possible to customise the machine to your preference by saving your favourite setting to internal memory. For items found in the presets, please see page 23. 20. CD TEXT (New)
