You can choose to use another sound card that you may already have, or you can use the Xone:2D as a sound device.<br />
To do this, you need to configure the audio device in DEX/RED Mobile. You can find this configuration in Options->In/Out<br />
Select ASIO - XONE:2D USB ASIO driver as Output Driver, and either Output Mode 4 if you want to output each deck to a different output channel, or Output Mode 5 if you want to do the mixing with the Xone:2D and use a headphone for monitoring.<br />
The Output channels should be 0/1, 2/3, 4/5 and 6/7.<br />
For the inputs, also select the same ASIO input device, and channels 0/1, 2/3, 4/5 and 6/7.<br />
If you are using Output Mode 5 and have headphones connected to the monitor output on the Xone:2d, Switch the SC OUT 3-4 switch on, and the other switches off. Switching on SC OUT 1-2 will allow you to monitor the master output.</p>
<h3>Configuration - Controller</h3>
<p>To use the Xone:2D&#8217;s controls, you have to activate it in the configuration. To do this, open the options window, and select the General tab.<br />
There, activate the Midi checkbox, and click the &#8216;XML Config&#8217; button next to it.<br />
Now select the Xone:2D from the list, and select the allenheath_xone2d.xml configuration from the drop-down box.<br />
Finally, click &#8216;Connect&#8217; to connect the device.<br />
<img src="/wp-content/uploads/dex_support_images/allenheathxone2d_config.jpg"></p>
<h3>General Use</h3>
<p>The default mapping is based on the Traktor 2-deck overlays which can be downloaded on the Xone:2D product page<br />
The controller is divided in 2 parts, the left 2 columns of controls are for deck 1, the right 2 columns are for deck 2.<br />
Use the second button at the bottom to start or pause a track.<br />
When the track is playing, ALT (first button) + PLAY (second button) will stop the track and return to the current cue point.<br />
When the track is paused, pressing ALT+PLAY will set the cue point to the current position, or starts playing the song while the cue button is pressed.<br />
The crossfader works as expected.<br />
The left slider controls the deck&#8217;s volume.<br />
Use SHIFT (button I) + SYNC (Select Button) to adjust the pitch to match the other decks&#8217; bpm.<br />
Use SHIFT + SCR to reset the pitch to zero.<br />
Use ALT + Jog Wheel to temporarily speed up or slow down the song.<br />
Use ALT + SCR to activate or de-activate Key Lock.</p>
<h3>Cue Points</h3>
<p>To load a previously saved cue point, press ALT + 1,2,3 or 4<br />
To store a cue point, hold the SHIFT button and press one of the four cue buttons.</p>
<h3>Loops</h3>
<p>The Loop In button will set the start point of a loop, when the Loop Out button is pressed a loop will be activated.<br />
When a loop is active, the Loop Out button can be used to exit the loop.<br />
Moving the Size (Loop In) button left or right will increase or decrease the length of the current loop.<br />
Moving the Move (Loop Out) button left or right will move the loop forwards or backwards.</p>
<h3>Effects</h3>
<p>An effect can be selected with the FX SEL knob.<br />
To enable or disable an effect, use the FX ON button.<br />
Effect 1: Equalizer. FX1 knob is high, FX2 is low and FX3 is mid frequency equalizer.<br />
Effect 2: Filter. FX1 knob will filter the sound from high to low frequencies to the left, or from low to high frequencies to the right.<br />
The FX2 knob will change the slope (strength) of the filter.<br />
Effect 3: Echo. The FX1 and FX2 knobs control the low and high pass filter (disabled when FX1 is all the way to the left, and FX2 is all the way to the right)<br />
FX3 controls the echo length.<br />
The second slider controls the echo strength, and when all the way to the top it will also cut the source sound.<br />
Effect 4: Bitcrusher. The FX1 knob controls the bitcrusher bits parameter.<br />
The FX2 knob controls the overdrive parameter.<br />
The second slider controls the downsampling parameter.</p>
<h3>Playlist</h3>
<p>Use the Jog Wheel to scroll through your tracks and the A-Load and B-Load buttons to load the track.<br />
Press PREV List or NEXT List to select a different list to scroll in (folders, files or playlist)</p>

You can choose to use another sound card that you may already have, or you can use the BCD-2000 as a sound device.<br />
To do this, you need to configure the audio device in DEX/RED Mobile. You can find this configuration in Options->In/Out<br />
Here&#8217;s a picture of how the configuration should look like:<br />
<img src="/wp-content/uploads/dex_support_images/bcd2000_inout.gif"><br />
Check the Streaming ASIO option if  you have 512 MB RAM or less. See the DEX/RED Mobile documentation for more information about this mode.</p>
<p>By default, using the jog wheel while the song is paused will move the current cue point without playing any sound. If you want to hear this movement as well, you can enable the Play Sound while Cueing option on the General tab.</p>
<h3>Configuration - Controller</h3>
<p>To use the BCD-2000&#8217;s controls, you have to activate it in the DEX/RED Mobile configuration as well. To do this, open the options window, and select the General tab.<br />
There you can check the Behringer BCD-2000 option. On the bcd-2000 config panel, you can then connect/disconnect the bcd-2000.<br />
-The PFL Mix knob fades between channels sets the behavior of the PFL Mix knob. If this option is selected, then the volume will gradually fade from cueing one deck to cueing the other. In the center position you will hear both decks.<br />
If this option is not selected, then the pfl mix knob will switch between deck a and deck b. In the center position, neither will be audible.<br />
-Disable Synch Button flashing will disable the synch button from flashing on the beat if you find this distracting or inaccurate.<br />
-Pitch Slider Relative mode will switch between a relative or an absolute pitch slider. Absolute means that the center of the pitch slider will always be 0%. This means it can&#8217;t be used in combination with automatic bpm matching. Relative mode is default, and it means that the pitch will increase/decrease from the current pitch as you move the pitch slider, whatever absolute position the pitch slider was on. This means that the center position on the pitch slider may not always be 0% song pitch.<br />
-Jog Wheel sensitivity sets the sensitivity of the jog wheel. The default is 100, increasing it will make the pitch respond harder on small wheel movements.<br />
-Default Effect sets the default effect when starting DEX/RED Mobile to be controlled by the effect section on the bcd.</p>
<h3>General Use</h3>
<p>Use the play button to start or pause a track. Pausing a track will also set the current cue point.<br />
Use the cue button to stop the track. This will return it&#8217;s position to the current cue point.<br />
The crossfader and volume sliders will adjust the volume as expected, and so will the low, mid and high equalizer knobs and kill switches.<br />
The pitch bend + and - will temporarily bend the pitch of the track up or down for beat matching. As soon as you release the button, the pitch will return to it&#8217;s original value. The longer you hold the button, the more the pitch will change.<br />
Use the pitch slider to adjust the pitch of each deck. Note that this slider works relative to the current pitch. Which means that you can use DEX/RED Mobile&#8217;s auto beat match function, and then adjust the pitch slightly with the pitch slider if necessary.<br />
If you want to make very small adjustments to the pitch, you can also hold the To Top button and use the Pitch Bend + and - buttons, to change the pitch by +-0.05%<br />
With the search forwards/backwards buttons, you can scroll through the track. Pressing forward will move the song position about 30 seconds forward, pressing backwards will move the song position about 10 seconds backwards.<br />
You can hold the fwd/bck search button to scroll through the song. The longer you hold them, the faster it will skip.<br />
The Sync Slave button will adjust the pitch to match the other decks&#8217; bpm. Holding the button for more than a second and then releasing it will reset the pitch to 0%.<br />
The Scratch button switches between all modes for the jog wheel. When the led is off, the jog wheel can be used to bend the pitch up or down when the track is playing. When the track is paused, it will move the cue point. When the led is on, the jog wheel can be used for scratching while the track is playing. When the led is flashing, you can use the jog wheel to scroll through the playlist (see later).<br />
You can use the Loop In/End button to start/stop a 4-beat loop. The led on the Loop Out button will show if the loop is enabled or not.</p>
<p>Hold the Analog Input button for about a second to activate the line input on that deck. Note that on the BCD, the Mic Input and Phono Input A are sharing the same input, so only one of the two can be used simultaneously.<br />
If you use DEX Vinyl Control features then you can activate/deactivate vinyl control by pressing To Top and the Analog Input button simultaneously.<br />
Use the On Air button to enable the mic. Internally, it will be loaded to DEX&#8217;s&#8217; third deck, so by opening it you can even apply any effect you want to the mic input on screen.</p>
<p>Use the Master/Split button to switch between hearing the master output through the headphones or the cue output. Hold the button pressed for about a second to activate split mode, where one side of the headphones is the master output, and the other is the cue output.<br />
The PFL Mix button can be used to select which side you want to hear in the headphones.</p>
<h3>Cue Points</h3>
<p>As mentioned, you can use the Cue button to go back to the current cue point, or to the start of the song.<br />
You can also store and retreive up to 4 cue points per song.<br />
To do this, hold the Cue button pressed, and also press one of the effect buttons (A,B,C,D) to load cue point 1,2,3 or 4<br />
To store a cue point, first press To Top + Cue to activate Cue Rec mode. Once cue rec mode is activated, you will see buttons A,B,C and D flashing.<br />
Press button A,B,C or D to store the current cue point to cue position 1,2,3 or 4.</p>
<h3>Loops</h3>
<p>As explained in the previous part, the Loop In/End button can be used to start/stop a 4-beat loop. More advanced looping is possible though, by using the Loop Out button.<br />
While holding the Loop Out button, here are the other options you have:<br />
-Press one of the effect buttons (A,B,C,D) to start a 2, 4, 8 or 16 beat loop.<br />
-Press the bend + button to double the loop length, or bend - to halve the loop length.<br />
-Use the jog wheel to move the loop forwards or backwards<br />
-Press To Top to switch between short loops and long loops. When short loops are selected, the effect buttons will start 1/4th, 1/2th, 1 and 2 beat loops instead.<br />
- Use Search Back/Fwd buttons to change the loop length by a small amount</p>
<h3>Effects</h3>
<p>The effects are controlled with the top row of knobs and buttons. Since the effects are separate for each deck, knob A and B and button A and button B control deck A&#8217;s effect, knob C and D and button C and D control deck B&#8217;s effect.<br />
The first thing to do is select the effect you want to use. You can do this by holding the To Top button and then pressing effect button A, B, C, or D. You can select a different effect for each deck by using that deck&#8217;s to top button.<br />
Effect A: Flanger. Enable the flanger by using the first button. The strength of the effect can be set with the first knob. The second knob can be used to fix the flanger at it&#8217;s current position.<br />
Effect B: Echo. Since this effect is always enabled, make sure you first set the first knob to the far left before selecting this effect. Then use the first knob to select the amount of echo, and the second knob to select the length. The length will be fixed to a multiple number of beats (1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, 1, 2, 4, 8 )<br />
You can use the second button to hold the echo buffer, which means that when you later use the first knob to stop the effect, you can later on use the same sample by using the first knob again.<br />
With the first button you can disable the source sound, leaving only the echo audible.<br />
Effect C: Gapper. Press the first button to enable/disable. The moment you press to enable defines where the gap will start. Use the first knob to define the strength. The second button switches between 1/4th and 1/2th beat gapper length. Use the second knob to select the shape.<br />
Effect D: Filter. Before enabling this, set the first and second knob to the center. Then enable the effect with the first button. Use the first knob to filter the sound. When using it from center to left, it will first cut the high frequency sounds, then the low frequency sounds. When using it from center to right, it will first cut the low frequencies.<br />
With the second knob you can specify the feedback. Moving this knob more to the left will make the effect sound stronger.<br />
Effect A+B: Third Deck. See the last section of this documentation.<br />
Effect A+C: Bitcrusher. Set the first knob to the left and the second to the right before enabling to have no effect. Enable this effect using the first effect button. The first knob will set the downsample parameter, the second knob will set the bit-depth parameter.<br />
Effect A+D: Custom Effect. The custom effect can be configured by selecting &#8216;custom&#8217; on the DEX/RED Mobile BCD-2000 config panel.</p>
<h3>Third Deck</h3>
<p>Besides using the effect knobs and buttons to control the DEX effects, you can also use them to control the third deck. To do this, first select the third deck mode by pressing To Top, Effect Button A and Effect Button B simultaneously, and in this order. Now the four buttons and four knobs can be used to control the third deck.<br />
Button A: Play/Pause third deck<br />
Button B: Stop/Cue third deck<br />
Button C: Pitch Bend Down<br />
Button D: Pitch Bend Up<br />
Knob A: Volume<br />
Knob B: Cue volume<br />
Knob C: Low Equalizer<br />
Knob D: High Equalizer</p>
<h3>Playlist</h3>
<p>Use the Scratch button to scroll through the jog wheel modes, until the scratch led flashes, which is the playlist mode.<br />
You can now use the low, mid and high kill switches to select which list to scroll in (playlist, directory browser or file browser)<br />
Scrolling is done with the jog wheel.<br />
When you have selected a song, press the To Top button to load the song.<br />
If a song is already loaded and playing in a deck, you have to hold the to top button for at least 1 second to load a song in this deck, to prevent accidentally stopping a playing song.</p>

To use the VCI-100&#8217;s controls, you have to activate it in the DEX/RED Mobile configuration. To do this, open the options window, and select the General tab.<br />
There you can check the Vestax VCI-100 option. On the VCI-100 config panel, you can then connect/disconnect the vci-100.<br />
-You can select up to 2 Vestax controllers, and select their type and the decks they control.<br />
You could for example use a VCI-100 to control deck 1 and 2, and a VCM-100 for deck 3 and 4.<br />
-Disable Synch Button flashing will disable the synch button from flashing on the beat if you find this distracting or inaccurate.<br />
-Pitch Slider Relative mode will switch between a relative or an absolute pitch slider. Absolute means that the center of the pitch slider will always be 0%. This means it can&#8217;t be used in combination with automatic bpm matching. Relative mode is default, and it means that the pitch will increase/decrease from the current pitch as you move the pitch slider, whatever absolute position the pitch slider was on. This means that the center position on the pitch slider may not always be 0% song pitch.<br />
-Jog Wheel sensitivity sets the sensitivity of the jog wheel. The default is 100, increasing it will make the pitch respond harder on small wheel movements.</p>
<h3>General Use</h3>
<p>Use the play/stop button to start or pause a track. Pausing a track will also set the current cue point.<br />
Use the cue/play button to stop the track. This will return it&#8217;s position to the current cue point.<br />
The crossfader, volume sliders and stereo balance knobs will adjust the volume and stereo balance as expected.<br />
The low, mid low and mid hi knobs control the low, mid and high equalizer<br />
Use the pitch slider to adjust the pitch of each deck. Note that this slider works relative to the current pitch. Which means that you can use &#8216; auto beat match function, and then adjust the pitch slightly with the pitch slider if necessary.<br />
The Sync button will adjust the pitch to match the other decks&#8217; bpm. Holding the button for more than a second and then releasing it will reset the pitch to 0%.<br />
The Vinyl Mode button switches between vinyl mode and mix mode for the jog wheel. When the led is off, the jog wheel can be used to bend the pitch up or down when the track is playing. When the track is paused, it will move the cue point. When the led is on, the jog wheel can be used for scratching while the track is playing. Using the outer part of the jog wheel will always result in pitch bending.<br />
You can use the Loop*4 button to start/stop a 4-beat loop.<br />
The Master Level knob will control DEX/RED Mobile&#8217;s master volume, the Monitor Level will control the cue volume.<br />
The Monitor Select knob controls the amount of the master output that is sent to the monitor output.<br />
The Cue button next to the equalizer knobs toggles that output to be sent to the monitor output.</p>
<p>While holding the Cue/Pause button press Play/Stop or Cue/Play to move forward or backward through the track.</p>
<h3>Cue Points</h3>
<p>To load a previously saved cue point, hold the Cue Pause button, and then press one of the four small buttons at the top to load one of 4 cue points.<br />
To store a cue point, hold the Set Cue button and press one of the four small buttons to store it to that location.<br />
Before loading or storing cue points, make sure that the first of the three larger buttons at the top is enabled.</p>
<h3>Loops</h3>
<p>As explained in the previous part, the Loop*4 button can be used to start/stop a 4-beat loop. More advanced looping is possible though, by using the Key button.<br />
While holding the Key button pressed, here are the other options you have:<br />
-Press one of the small loop function buttons to start a 2, 4, 8 or 16 beat loop.<br />
-Press the playlist up or down button to double or halve the loop length.<br />
-Use the center part of the jog wheel to move the loop forwards or backwards<br />
-Use the outer part of the jog wheel to change the length of the loop<br />
-Press the first of the 3 buttons to select long loop lengths (2, 4, 8 or 16 beats)<br />
-Press the second of the 3 buttons to select short loop lengths (1/4, 1/2, 1 or 2 beats)</p>
<p>Loops can also be stored and later retrieved. To do this, press the third button on the left-top of the vci.<br />
-Use CUE/PAUSE + one of the four small buttons to load a stored loop, or<br />
-Use Set Cue + one of the four small buttons to store the current loop</p>
<h3>Effects</h3>
<p>The effects are controlled with the &#8216;effect parameter&#8217; knobs and buttons.<br />
The select button selects how the knobs and buttons control the effects.<br />
When set to A or B the 4 knobs and buttons control the current effect of either deck A or deck B.<br />
When set to mas the first 2 knobs and buttons control the current effect for deck A, and the second 2 knobs and buttons control the effect for deck B<br />
Most effects can be enabled/disabled by either using the Effect button next to the equalizer knobs, or by pressing the second effect parameter button.<br />
The first thing to do is select the effect you want to use. You can do this by holding the Effect Select button (in mas mode, the up button selects deck A&#8217;s effect, and the down button selects deck B&#8217;s effect) and pressing one of the 4 small loop buttons.<br />
Effect A: Flanger.The strength of the effect can be set with the first knob. The first button can be used to fix the flanger at it&#8217;s current position.<br />
Effect B: Echo. Since this effect is always enabled, make sure you first set the first knob to the far left before selecting this effect. Then use the first knob to select the amount of echo, and the second knob to select the length. The length will be fixed to a multiple number of beats (1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, 1, 2, 4, 8 )<br />
You can use the first button to hold the echo buffer, which means that when you later use the first knob to stop the effect, you can later on use the same sample by using the first knob again.<br />
Effect C: Bitcrusher. The first knob controls the downsampling, with the effect increasing from left to right.<br />
The second knob controls the bit-depth, with the effect increasing from right to left.<br />
Effect D: Filter. This effect can be used with the hi EQ knob.<br />
When using it from center to left, it will first cut the high frequency sounds, then the low frequency sounds. When using it from center to right, it will first cut the low frequencies.<br />
With the first effect knob you can specify the feedback. Moving this knob more to the left will make the effect sound stronger.</p>
<h3>Third Deck</h3>
<p>Controlling the third deck can be done with the effect buttons.<br />
First make sure the effect selection is on &#8216;master&#8217;, then hold the effect select button and press the first of the 3 custom buttons on the left of the controller so that it lights up.<br />
Now the first effect button is the play/pause button for the third deck, the second button is the stop/cue button and the third and fourth buttons can be used for pitch bending or cue point moving.<br />
The first knob controls the volume of the third deck, and the second knob controls the headphone volume.</p>
<h3>Sampler</h3>
<p>You can start the samples loaded in the sampler using the 4 small buttons at the left top of the vci.<br />
Before this works, you have to select Sampler mode by pressing the second of the 3 buttons next to the small buttons.<br />
The first button selects the vu meter, the second the sampler, and the third disables the buttons. When Sampler mode is selected, you can also copy an active loop from one of the decks to one of the samples.<br />
To do this, simply use Set Cue on the deck you want to copy the loop from, and while holding it, press one of the 4 small buttons to select the sampler in which to copy the loop.<br />
To control the volume of the samples, you have to use the effect knobs.<br />
First select sampler as effect, by pressing one of the effect select buttons, and then pressing the second button of three on the left side of the controller.<br />
The first knob now controls the volume of the first sample, the second knob of the second sample and so on.<br />
The 4 effect buttons can now be used to start or stop the samples as well.</p>
<h3>Playlist</h3>
<p>Use the Up and Down buttons to select a song in the playlist. Press Preview once to preview the song, and press it a second time to stop the preview.<br />
Hold up and down simultaneously to switch between the lists (playlist, file selection and folder selection)<br />
Press the Load A or Load B button to load the selected song in deck A or deck B.</p>

Check the &#8216;Streaming ASIO&#8217; option if  you have 512 MB RAM or less. See the DEX/RED Mobile documentation for more information about this mode.<br />
<img src="/wp-content/uploads/dex_support_images/djconsolemk2_config.gif"><br />
Select 24-bit if you want to use at most one input, or select 16-bit if you want to use 2 inputs.</p>
<h3>Configuration - Controller</h3>
<p>To use the DJ console&#8217;s controls, you have to activate it in the DEX/RED Mobile configuration as well. To do this, open the options window, and select the General tab.<br />
There you can check the Hercules DJ Console option. On the DJ Console config panel, you can then connect/disconnect the Hercules DJ Console.<br />
You can also choose if you want to use the DJ Console to control the decks, or to use it as a complete effect panel.</p>
<h3>General Use</h3>
<p>The play/pause buttons and the cue button work in the same way as on screen or using the keyboard shortcuts.<br />
Use the Track FWD/BCK buttons to scroll through the loaded track.<br />
By default the crossfader will fade from one deck to the other, and the two vertical faders will control the volume of each deck. You can also configure them to control the pitch.<br />
The Pitch endless rotary knob can be used to increase/decrease the pitch in small steps to make small adjustments to correct the pitch. If you have selected to use the faders to control the pitch, then these knobs will control the channel&#8217;s volume gain.<br />
The Bass, Medium and Treble knobs control the equalizer to cut or boost low, mid or high frequencies.<br />
The Auto Beat button will synchronize the tempo of the deck to match the other deck. At this point the beats are not aligned automatically yet, this is something you have to do yourself using the jog wheel or pitch bend buttons.<br />
The pitch bend buttons can be used to temporarily speed up or slow down the speed of the deck, so that the two songs can be aligned.<br />
The Jog Wheel can be used for the same function. As long as you spin it, the song will slow up or down depending on the direction you turn it in.<br />
When the song is not playing, the jog wheel will move the current cue point.<br />
Use the Master Tempo button to select what the jog wheel will do. If the led is off, the jog wheel can be used for pitch bending. If the led is on the jog wheel can be used for scratching. When the led is flashing, you can use the jog wheel to scroll through the playlist.<br />
The joystick in the center can be used to send the sound of a deck to the headphones for pre-listening. If you push it to the left-top, the left deck will be heard through the headphones. If you push it to the left-bottom the left deck will not be heard through the headphones. The right side does the same for the right deck.<br />
Holding the button under the joystick for a second and releasing it will load the selected song from playlist or browser to the selected deck.</p>
<h3>Effects</h3>
<p>The DJ Console also has three effect buttons. The first effect button will activate/deactivate a 4-beat loop. The second effect buttons will activate/deactivate the flanger effect. The third effect button will activate the gapper effect for as long as the button is pressed.<br />
By pressing the triangular button you can also select some other effect modes.<br />
-When the Cue led is flashing, pressing one of the three buttons will select cue point 1, 2 or 3.<br />
-When the Loop led is flashing, the buttons will start a loop of a different length</p>
<h3>Inputs</h3>
<p>To use one of the inputs, simply hold the Cue Button pressed for at least one second, then release it.<br />
The sound from the input channel is than played on that channel through DEX, and you can use all controls, effects and loops on the sound in real time. If you want to use the DJ Console in combination with Vinyl Control, you can hold the Tempo Control button pressed for at least one second to enable vinyl control on that deck.</p>

You can choose to use another sound card that you may already have, or you can use the Hercules DJ Console RMX as a sound device.<br />
To do this, you need to configure the audio device in djDecks. You can find this configuration in Options->In/Out<br />
Here&#8217;s a picture of how the configuration should look like:<br />
<img src="/wp-content/uploads/dex_support_images/djconsolermx_config1.png"><br />
Check the &#8216;Streaming ASIO&#8217; option if  you have less than 1GB RAM. See the djDecks documentation for more information about this mode.<br />
<img src="/wp-content/uploads/dex_support_images/djconsolermx_config2.png"><br />
Select 24-bit if you want to use at most one input, or select 16-bit if you want to use 2 inputs.</p>
<h3>Configuration - Controller</h3>
<p>To use the DJ console&#8217;s controls, you have to activate it in the DEX/RED Mobile configuration as well. To do this, open the options window, and select the General tab.<br />
There you can check the Hercules DJ Console RMX option. On the DJ Console config panel, you can then connect/disconnect the Hercules DJ Console.</p>
<h3>General Use</h3>
<p>The play/pause buttons and the stop button work in the same way as on screen or using the keyboard shortcuts.<br />
Use the Fast Forward/Back buttons to seek through the loaded track.<br />
The crossfader will fade from one deck to the other, and the outer two vertical faders will control the volume of each deck. The pitch faders will control the pitch. By default they are in relative mode, which means they move the pitch up or down relative to the current pitch.<br />
The Bass, Medium and Treble knobs control the equalizer to cut or boost low, mid or high frequencies.<br />
The kill switches will temporarily completely cut the low, mid or high frequencies until the button is pressed again.<br />
The Sync button will synchronize the tempo of the deck to match the other deck. At this point the beats are not aligned automatically yet, this is something you have to do yourself using the jog wheel.<br />
The Jog Wheel can be used to temporarily increase or decrease the pitch. As long as you spin it, the song will slow up or down depending on the direction you spin it.<br />
When the song is not playing, the jog wheel will move the current cue point.<br />
Use the Scratch button to select what the jog wheels will do. If scratch mode is enabled, the jog wheel will scratch the sound, if scratch mode is disabled, the jog wheel will be used for pitch bending.<br />
The cue select button can be used to send the deck&#8217;s sound to the headphones.</p>
<h3>Loops and Cue Points</h3>
<p>Loops and cues can both be controlled with the six numbered buttons.<br />
The CUE button at the bottom will select either Cue or Loop mode.<br />
When the CUE button is disabled, use 1 and 4 to set a Loop In and a Loop Out point. Loop Out will also exit an existing loop.<br />
While holding 1 you can use the jog wheel to move the loop forwards or backwards.<br />
Use 2 and 5 to start or stop a 4 or 8 beat loop.<br />
Use 3 and 6 to decrease or increase the length of the current loop.<br />
When the CUE button is enabled, press buttons 1 to 6 to load one of six stored cue points.<br />
To store a cue point, hold the CUE button and then press one of the 6 buttons.</p>
<h3>Effects</h3>
<p>Effects can not be controlled with the DJ Console RMX yet.</p>
<h3>Inputs</h3>
<p>Inputs can only be selected from within DEX at the moment.</p>

You can choose to use another sound card that you may already have, or you can use one or two EKS XP10&#8217;s as sound card.<br />
To do this, you need to configure the audio device in djDecks. You can find this configuration in Options->In/Out<br />
Here&#8217;s a picture of how the configuration should look like:<br />
<img src="/wp-content/uploads/dex_support_images/eksxp10_config.gif"><br />
If you have only one XP10, select 0 - Master Output as output mode and select the XP10 as sound card 1<br />
It will usually be called &#8216;USB Speakers&#8217;<br />
If you have 2 XP10&#8217;s, select output mode 4, and select the 2 xp10&#8217;s as Sound Card 1 and Sound Card 2.<br />
They will usually be called &#8216;USB Speakers&#8217; with a number after it.</p>
<h3>Configuration - Controller</h3>
<p>To use the XP10&#8217;s controls, you have to activate it in the DEX/RED Mobile configuration as well. To do this, open the options window, and select the General tab.<br />
There you can check the EKS XP10 option. On the xp10 config panel, you can then connect/disconnect the xp10.<br />
Up to three xp10&#8217;s can be automatically detected and used. By default they will be configured to control deck 1, deck 2 and deck 3.<br />
-Pitch Slider Relative mode will switch between a relative or an absolute pitch slider. Absolute means that the center of the pitch slider will always be 0%. This means it can&#8217;t be used in combination with automatic bpm matching. Relative mode is default, and it means that the pitch will increase/decrease from the current pitch as you move the pitch slider, whatever absolute position the pitch slider was on. This means that the center position on the pitch slider may not always be 0% song pitch.</p>
<h3>General Use</h3>
<p>The play and cue buttons work the same as the on-screen buttons. The exact functions depend on the Cue mode set in Options->General. For more information, read the DEX/RED Mobile manual.<br />
Use the pitch slider to adjust the pitch of each deck. Note that this slider works relative to the current pitch. This means that you can use DEX/RED Mobile&#8217;s auto beat match function, and then adjust the pitch slightly with the pitch slider if necessary.<br />
With the Pitch Mode button you can switch between relative and absolute pitch slider mode.<br />
With the right and left arrow buttons, you can scroll through the track. Pressing forward will move the song position about 30 seconds forward, pressing backwards will move the song position about 10 seconds backwards.<br />
The Play Mode button will toggle the jog wheel mode between pitch bend mode and vinyl simulation mode.<br />
In simulation mode, holding your finger on the jog wheel will stop the track, and moving it forwards or backwards will scratch the track.<br />
In pitch bend mode, the pitch will be temporarily increased or decreased.<br />
In both modes, the outer ring of the jog wheel can be used for pitch bending.<br />
The Loop button will stop a loop if one is activated, or start a 4-beat loop otherwise.<br />
The Reverse button will temporarily reverse song playback until the button is released.<br />
The Brake/Spin Up button will simulate a slow turntable brake or spin up.</p>
<h3>Cue Points and Deck Selection</h3>
<p>As mentioned, you can use the Cue button to go back to the current cue point, or to the start of the song.<br />
You can also store and retrieve up to 4 cue points per song.<br />
If you have selected the A,B,C,D buttons to control the cue points, you can set the current cue point to cue point 1,2,3 or 4 by pressing button A,B,C or D.<br />
To store a cue point, first press the &#8216;Cue Rec&#8217; button on screen, then press one of the 4 buttons to store the current position to that cue point.</p>
<p>If you have selected &#8216;Select Deck&#8217; as option for the A,B,C,D buttons, then the buttons will select which deck will be controlled by your XP10. This allows you to control up to 3 decks with just one XP10. Press A to control deck 1, B to control deck 2 or C to control deck 3.</p>
<h3>Loops</h3>
<p>As explained in the previous part, the Loop button can be used to start/stop a 4-beat loop.<br />
Use the up and down arrows to halve or double the length of the current loop.<br />
To specify a loop yourself, press the Loop In button to select the start point of the loop, and press the Loop Out button to select the end point of the loop, after which the loop will be activated.</p>
<h3>Playlist</h3>
<p>Press the Playlist button to toggle the jog wheel to playlist mode.<br />
Turn the jog wheel to scroll through the list. Press the OK button to load the selected song, or to open the selected folder.<br />
Use the Menu button to switch between the playlist, the folder list and the files list.<br />
When you are finished, use the Playlist button again to activate the decks. </p>

To use the Numark Total Control&#8217;s controls, you have to activate it in the DEX/RED Mobile configuration. To do this, open the options window, and select the General tab.<br />
There you can check the Numark Total Control option.<br />
-Pitch Slider Relative mode will switch between a relative or an absolute pitch slider. Absolute means that the center of the pitch slider will always be 0%. This means it can&#8217;t be used in combination with automatic bpm matching. Relative mode is default, and it means that the pitch will increase/decrease from the current pitch as you move the pitch slider, whatever absolute position the pitch slider was on. This means that the center position on the pitch slider may not always be 0% song pitch.<br />
-Jog Wheel sensitivity sets the sensitivity of the jog wheel. The default is 100, increasing it will make the pitch respond harder on small wheel movements.</p>
<h3>General Use</h3>
<p>The way the Play/Pause and Cue buttons work depend on the cue mode configuration in DEX/RED Mobile. (Menu, Options, General)<br />
-In CDJ Mode:<br />
Play will start or stop playback. The cue point will not be affected.<br />
Pause will return the position to the current cue point when the song was playing.<br />
When the song is not playing and the song is at the current cue point, playback will start for as long as you hold the cue button. When you release the cue button, the position will return to the cue point.<br />
When the song is not at the cue point, the cue point position will be changed.<br />
-In DEX mode:<br />
Play will start or stop playback. When playback is stopped, the cue point is set to that position.<br />
Pause will return the position to the cue point and stop playback.<br />
When pressing cue again the position will be set to the start of the song.<br />
The Sync button will adjust the pitch to match the other decks&#8217; bpm. Holding the button for more than a second will reset the pitch to 0%.<br />
The Scratch Mode button switches between scratch mode and pitch bend mode for the jog wheel.<br />
The Key lock button will toggle tempo control on or off.<br />
The Search Back/Forward buttons can be used to seek forward or backwards in the current song.</p>
<h3>Cue Points</h3>
<p>To load a cue point, press and hold CUE, then press one of the 4 effect/sample buttons.<br />
To store a cue point, first press CUE + PAUSE, then press CUE and one of the 4 effect/sample buttons.</p>
<h3>Loops</h3>
<p>Press Loop In to set the loop-in point, then press Loop Out to set the loop-out point.<br />
The loop-out point will automatically be beat-aligned.<br />
When a loop is started, press Loop Out again to exit the loop. Holding Loop In while a loop is started allows you to move the start of the loop using the jog wheel.<br />
You can also halve or double the loop length by holding Loop In and pressing either Search Back/Fwd button.</p>
<h3>Effects</h3>
<p>You can select the effect you want to use with the Effect Select knob. You will see one of the four buttons flashing which indicates which effect is selected.<br />
The first button is Flanger, the second Echo, the third Bitcrusher and the fourth Filter.<br />
Use the effect on/off button to turn the effect on or off, and the effect control knob to adjust a parameter of the effect.</p>
<h3>Playlist</h2>
<p>Use the scroll button to scroll through the tracks. Pressing the scroll button will switch between playlist, browser and folder lists.<br />
When you hold the Scratch button pressed for 1 second, the jog wheel mode will change to browser and you will be able to use the jog wheel to scroll through your tracks.<br />
Press the Load button on either side to load the selected track to that player, or to open a folder/playlist when it has been selected.</p>

-Constant Pitch Bend When enabled, the pitch bend buttons will do a bend of a fixed percentage, rather than speeding up or slowing down the longer you keep them pressed.<br />
-Disable HC-4500 touch sensitivity By default, when in scratch mode you need to press the jog wheel to scratch.<br />
With this option enabled, scratching will start as soon as you move the jog wheel, even without pressing it.<br />
-Jog Wheel sensitivity sets the sensitivity of the jog wheel. The default is 100, increasing it will make the pitch respond harder on small wheel movements.<br />
-If you have 2 controllers you can select each of them by using the drop-down controls.<br />
With the numbers after them you can assign which decks that unit will control.<br />
If you have 2 DN-S1200&#8217;s or 2 HS-5500&#8217;s and you want the first to control deck 1 and the second to control deck 2, select 1/2 for both units. On the unit itself, configure the first one for channel 1, and the second for channel 2.</p>
<h3>General Use</h3>
<p>The way the Play/Pause and Cue buttons work depend on the cue mode configuration in djDecks. (Menu, Options, General)<br />
-In CDJ Mode:<br />
Play/Pause will start or stop playback. The cue point will not be affected.<br />
Cue will return the position to the current cue point when the song was playing.<br />
When the song is not playing and the song is at the current cue point, playback will start for as long as you hold the cue button. When you release the cue button, the position will return to the cue point.<br />
When the song is not at the cue point, the cue point position will be changed.<br />
-In DEX mode:<br />
Play/Pause will start or stop playback. When playback is stopped, the cue point is set to that position.<br />
Cue will return the position to the cue point and stop playback.<br />
When pressing cue again the position will be set to the start of the song.<br />
-In PCDJ mode:<br />
Everything is similar to CDJ mode, but moving the jog wheel when the song is paused will cause a repeating sound instead of vinyl-emulation like sound.<br />
When in CUE mode, it is possible to press FLIP+CUE to go to paused mode.</p>
<p>Flip+Play/Pause will start a vinyl brake or vinyl start up effect instead of instantly starting or stopping.<br />
The Sync button will adjust the pitch to match the other decks&#8217; bpm. Holding the button for more than a second will reset the pitch to 0%.<br />
The Jog Mode button switches between scratch mode, pitch bend mode and track browsing mode for the jog wheel.<br />
The Pitch/Key button will toggle tempo control on or off.<br />
When you hold the button pressed for 1 second, the pitch range can be adjusted by turning the parameter knob.<br />
The Fast Search buttons can be used to seek forward or backwards in the current song.<br />
