In diesem Modus sind Gain, 3-Band EQ und Linefader analog im Audio-Modus. Das heißt Sie können

das virtuelle Traktor-Signal mit dem Mixer direkt manipulieren.

HINWEISE!

- Wählen Sie für den External Mixer-Mode das Mapping „IQ2 MIDI External“

- Mit diesem Mapping können Sie Effekte und Loops für Decks A-D steuern

- Stellen Sie dazu den „FX MIDI“-Schalter -46- auf ON

- Stellen Sie sicher, dass der X-Fader FX-Schalter -15- auf „OFF“ gestellt ist, da sonst die Cross-

fader-Effekte aktiv sind

ACHTUNG! Das Mapping ist auf MIDI-Channel 10 programmiert. Stellen Sie also sicher, dass Ihr IQ2

MIDI auch auf MIDI-Channel 10 eingestellt ist. (siehe Abschnitt MIDI CHANNEL-EINSTELLUNG)

MIDI-MAPPING: IQ2 MIDI EXTERNAL

Tipp! Im External Mixer Mode sollten Sie XF-MIDI deaktiviert lassen (OFF), damit Sie den Cross-

fader analog für schnelle und präzise Cuts nutzen können.

> AUDIO-ROUTING EXTERNAL:

In dem External-Modus (USB 1/2) stellt Kanal A den Ausgang 1/2 (Master) und Kanal B den Ausgang

3/4 dar.

NOTE! Beats can not be determined by the IQ2 MIDI if there is no continuous rhythm structure

or if the beats do not stand out clearly enough from the rest of the track in order to be identied

as rhythm element. Common time beats are ideal for the IQ2 MIDI.

NOTE! Via the separate TAP/BPM button -23- you can manually adjust the bars when effects are

active.

You will notice that the crossfader effect will change depending on the crossfader‘s position.

Auto mode:

effect button -22 a, b or c- an automatic cross-fading to the opposite channel will be carried out.

NOTE! Only the master effects -14- can be monitored by using the CueFX LED button -9-, the

crossfader effects -22- can not be monitored.

The following three crossfader effects are at your disposal:

a.) LoopX

DependingonthebarthathasbeenadjustedviatheXParameterEncoder-25-orthebeatassign-

mentbuttonsfortheDSPeffectunit-24-(asdescribedinthechapter“operation”,point14)aloop

can be created with this effect. The further the crossfader is being moved to the opposite side the

lower the loop sequence will become. Move the crossfader back to its original position in order to

deactivate the effect.

b.) PitchX

Move the crossfader to the opposite side in order to decrease the running track‘s pitch. With this

effect it is possible to simulate the sound of a record that is continuously slowing down. Move the

crossfader back to its original position in order to deactivate the effect.

c.) StutterX

Move the crossfader to the opposite side in order to loop a sequence. The further you move the

crossfader to the opposite side the shorter the sequence will become. Move the crossfader back to

its original position in order to deactivate the effect.

NOTE! Please take into consideration that when using the crossfader effects PitchX -22, b- and

StutterX -22, c-, the X Parameter Encoder -25- and the beat assignment buttons for the DSP

effect unit -24- are not active.

NOTE! Please also observe the quick installation guide for usage with Traktor.
