FAQ
Q: What do stutter starts offer?
A: You can instantly start your music from 3 different points in the music anywhere on your CD. This could be three different songs as well. You can creatively edit your songs live and instantly change tracks or beats.
Q: Why does the unit have a tap BPM counter?
A: The beat counter offers quick feedback on the speed of the music you are playing. The taps are counted and averaged in order to calculate the beats per minute. Using this information, the user can change the pitch so songs match tempo and beat mixing is possible.
Q: What does the big wheel offer?
A: The big wheel offers excellent pitch control over your music, just like using a record. DJs that beat mix often lightly push and pull the record to change speeds. The big wheel emulates this experience.
