BLINKING-The Beatkeeper is detecting 'rhythm setting' sounds from the respective audio input. H. TEMPO DIFFERENCE GRAPH OFF-One or Both of the audio inputs are not yet sync- locked in. RED LED ON-The audio inputs tempos are not aligned. YELLOW LED ON-The audio inputs tempos are close to aligned. GREEN LED ON-The audio inputs tempos are perfectly aligned. I. BEAT OFFSET GRAPH OFF-One or both of the audio inputs are not yet sync- locked or are not sending an audio signal. RED LED ON-The audio inputs beats are not aligned. YELLOW LED ON-The audio inputs beats are close to aligned. GREEN LED ON-The audio inputs beats are perfectly aligned. Beat mixing is a skill that must be practiced in order to be proficient at it. 3 and 4-way mixing can be a very difficult skill to master. Visual mixing with the Beatkeeper gives you the tools to help you do this, but nothing replaces practice. Numark - The Leader in DJ Technology ©1998 Industries 10 DM1200/DM1235/DM1285 Channel Selection When your mixer is first turned on, the channels selected will be 1 & 2 respectively. If you wish to track the beat of another channel, tap on the channel select button until the desired input is reached. NOTE: The Beatkeeper will track the source that is selected with the channel toggle switch. Syncing Your Beatkeeper When learning how to use the Beatkeeper, choose some dance music with a hard, steady beat. Start the music for left channel of your Beatkeeper. When the Beatkeeper has located the beat, the BPM display will illuminate with the music's Beats Per Minute. You'll notice a flashing Green LED every time the Beatkeeper detects a rhythm defining instrument. The Beatkeeper will soon flash a Red LED on every beat, the same way you would tap your foot to the beat of the music. The Beatkeeper will display a BPM which will update every five seconds while scanning. As long as the beat is well-defined, the BPM number will equal the beats per minute of the song being played. Once you see the Red beat LED flashing with the beat of the music, press the respective Sync Lock button, and the Sync Lock LED will illuminate. Activating the Sync Lock tells the Beatkeeper to stop scanning the music for a different BPM and to start tracking the beat changes of the current BPM as you adjust the pitch of the music. This function is manual to ensure that the Beatkeeper is right on the beat. Once the Sync Lock LED is on, the Beatkeeper tracks the beats of the music and updates the BPM display on every beat. To unlock, simply tap the Sync Lock button once and the Beatkeeper is back in BPM scanning mode. After syncing an audio input, try speeding up and slowing down the music. You'll notice that the Red beat LED will continue to flash on the downbeat, and the BPM number will adjust itself to match the tempo of the music. This indicates that the Beatkeeper is successfully tracking the beat and will continue to do so throughout your mix. If you stop the music, you will notice the Beat LED will go solid and the BPM number will remain in memory. Once the music is restarted, the Beatkeeper will remember the last tracked rhythm pattern and pick up on the beat right away. PLAY the music, OBSERVE the beat match, and PRESS the Sync Lock Button. That's it. If you can do that twice, you can mix with the Beatkeeper. Beat Assist The Beatkeeper is foolproof. The Beatkeeper can track any music up to 199 beats per minute. The unit, however, is set to automatically track tempos between 80-150BPM. Of course, not all music is within this range, you may need to track the high tempos of Meringue or Salsa, or the low tempos of R&B slow jams or Reggae. Let's face it, not all music has hard, steady beats either, and sometimes you just need the music set up yesterday . For these occasions, we have the Beat Assist Button. If the Beatkeeper is having trouble matching the beat to the flashing Red Beat LED, or if you need to sync up immediately, tap the Beat Assist button 2-8 times as you hear the beat, the same way you would tap your feet to the music. Pressing the Beat Assist Button more than once aligns the Beatkeeper to your taps. Notice that the Sync Lock LED automatically illuminates, signifying that the Beatkeeper is now locked in with the beat. Simply put, if the Beatkeeper isn't on track, or you're in a real hurry, you need to press a button twice instead of once. If the Beatkeeper is synced to the correct BPM, but is aligned to the music's offbeat, tap the Beat Assist button with the beat of the music just once, and you will have brought the Beatkeeper back in sync. Two Channel Mixing After you feel comfortable syncing up the Beatkeeper, you're ready to mix. Mixing with the Beatkeeper has three parts: syncing to the music (which you've done), aligning the tempos, and aligning the beats. Once these three things are done, you will have a perfect mix. No more guessing, tapping, or embarrassing fades. Choose another music selection, and start it on your right ...
