The DN-D6000 rack mount double CD/MP3 player is equipped with a variety of advanced features, functions and rich performance for unlimited creativeness and showmanship. Features and Functions With the implementation of a powerful DSP and large memory capacity allows for many new controlling features such as: 1. SCRATCH The jog dial construction consists of clear scratch disc, felt slipmat and slip sheet to ensure the same feeling and performance as found in an analog turntable. Furthermore, the Main Track and Sampler can be selected as the Scratch sound source. 2. MP3 PLAY BACK It is possible to play MP3 files created in the specified format found on page 18. Files can be searched for easily either manually, or by scanning or using a number of file search functions (File search, File/Folder search, Artist name search, Title name search, File name search). 3. NEXT TRACK RESERVE The next track can be selected while continuing to play the current track for a seamless transition. 4. Cross Fade In conjunction with the Next Track feature, the DN-D6000 can perform a smooth internal cross fade when transitioning to the new track. 5. HOT START and STUTTER The Hot Start function lets you start playback immediately from a set point decided by you. Up to two points can be set using the A1 and A2 buttons. The loaded Hot Starts can also be used to "Stutter" those same points. When in Stutter mode, momentary audio is triggered according to the length of time of which these buttons are held down and released. 6. SEAMLESS LOOP 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-D6000 has a variety of looping options such as Exit. Reloop and dual looping. 7. SAMPLER On-board digital Sampler can record up to 15 seconds CD quality sound at 44.1kHz sampling frequency. You can seamlessly loop this sample or play it backwards (REVERSE). The pitch and output level of a sample can be adjusted independently. The B point can be easily set or changed exactly the same way as you would use with the A-B Seamless Loop function. 8. B TRIM The B points for the Seamless Loop and the Sampler can easily be adjusted using the Scratch Disc. Adjustments can be made in real-time while playing the live loop. 9. AUTO BPM COUNTER, BPM LOCK, MANUAL TAP, and MANUAL BPM INPUT In addition to the Auto BPM counter and Manual Tap function, the DN-D6000 is also equipped with a Lock function for temporarily locking the Auto BPM counter. A Manual BPM Input function is available too for inputting the known BPM value directly by a Rotary knob, so the BPM setting can be made easily. 10. ON BOARD EFFECT'S Six types of effectors are included. ECHO/LOOP:The ECHO and LOOP functions can be selected. Looping for the feedback time (ECHO LOOP) is possible by setting the feedback number to "MAX". FLANGER:The feedback time and feedback gain can be selected. FILTER: One of three filters (LOW PASS, MID PASS and HIGH PASS) can be selected and Individually adjusted. 11. PLATTER MODE Analog turntable-like playback can be simulated using three 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.) RVS: (Reverse) Plays the sound backwards until you return to normal play. 12. MEMO Various settings such as Cue Point, Hot Start, AB Loop, Pitch and Key Adjust can be saved to the internal non-volatile memory for later recall. Up to 1000 points are available. 13. PITCH/KEY ADJUST PITCH: Playback speed is adjusted with PITCH slider. Adjustable pitch ranges are +/- 4, 10, 16, 24, 50, 100% (selectable live). KEY ADJUST: Keeps the original key even if the pitch playing speed is changed with the PITCH slider. 14. DIGITAL OUT The digital output for Main provides a true 100% digital signal without any restrictions or limitations regardless of pitch change or mode setting. 15. FADER START The DN-D6000 FADER START controls are compatible with our DN-X400, DN-X800 or DNX1500 mixers. 16. SHOCKPROOF MEMORY 25 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. 17. 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 21. 18. CD TEXT 19. CD-R/RW Play Back This player can play CD-R/RW discs, but only if they are finalized. Note: However that depending on the recording quality, the player may not be able to play some finalized CDR/RW discs. 20. Power on Play The player can be set so that playback in the relay mode starts when the power is turned on. 21. Relay Play When this mode is set, CD1 and CD2 starts playback alternately. This unit can relay the playback of CD1 and CD2 every track or every disc. 22. Scratch Stroke This unique feature found in the presetmode allows the user to select a comfortable stroke distance for scratching "Long" is set for wide pattern strokes and "Short" is set for small pattern strokes. 6
