CDN90
KEY LOCK / KEY CHANGE
The CDN90 uses Numark exclusive technology to lock the key of the music in place at the current pitch position or
change it from the current position. This is different than “master tempo” often found on many modern units because the key
lock to the current pitch position and not automatically set to the “0” pitch position. By doing this we have allowed you to
activate this function while playing without changing the key.
Key Lock: Pressing holds the key in place. The display will indicate to show the current key is locked. If
pitch (tempo) is changed the current key will continue to play. By putting the pitch at 100% you can actually
slow the music to a complete stop while playing the last heard tones of the music. This works very well on
vocals and can be a very cool effect. If the unit has Key Lock active after the track has been changed and
before play is hit, the unit will lock to 0. If Key is deactivated during pause the unit will reset to match the
current pitch position.
Key Change: Pressing and then or will change the key. The display will indicate the and the
new key . The key can increase to 1 octave above normal key or up to 2 octaves above normal key when the
Slide effect is used. The key can decrease up to 5 octaves below normal key. The display will limit to 19 half
steps above or below normal key. If the key is higher, the display will show "H". If it is lower, the display
will show "L".
Auto Start
This button provides 2 functions depending upon the way it is set.
Interlock Play Start: This function was explained in the Beatkeeper section. If is pressed during , the
slave will automatically start the next time the master matches the beat of the slave.
Relay Play: This function will automatically start play on the side pressed (slave) after completion of the track on the
opposing side (master). In continuous mode, the relay feature will allow the master to complete playing the full CD then
switch to the slave. In single mode the player will alternate after each track. To activate, press (without
interlock activated) on the slave side. When the master has finished play it will send a signal to the slave to start play. The
slave will start automatically and the master pause and cue to the beginning of the next track. The master will now become
the slave.
The relay time of this feature can also be programmed by holding down and pressing . Options will
appear to relay immediately after the track (0), with time added of 1,2,3 or 4 seconds (1,2,3,4), or a reduction of 3,2, or 1
seconds (-3,-2,-1). By reducing time the tracks will crossover before the end of a track, creating an automatic segue from
master to slave. This feature will also work in track sequence program mode; however, if the sides are also in SINGLE mode
the same number of tracks programmed should be the same. Play will stop at the end of the last track.
Fader Start/Remote Switch Start
This function will allow for CD player control using most standard fader start compatible mixers and switches. First you
must follow the directions for connecting to your fader start compatible mixer or switch.
1. Set the CD player to the proper switch mode by holding down followed by tapping
If the display shows then CD player will activate with fader start. Typically if you move the crossfader toward
the active channel, the attached CD player will activate. When it is moved away the unit will cue or pause depending
upon CD player setting.
If the display says then the CD player will activate with an ON-OFF pushbutton switch generally used for
switching channels on guitar amps
If the display says then the CD player will activate with a momentary switch usually used for keyboard sustain
pedals.
Note: You can also use a momentary switch in the ON-OFF switch position. In this case the unit will only play while the
switch is depressed. When the button is release it will either cue or pause depending upon mode
2. Select start/stop mode hold the time button for 2 seconds.
If the display shows then the CD will pause when stopped.
If the display shows then the CD will RE-CUE when stopped.
