How to use advanced features?
1) Setting a CUE Point
There are a few different ways to set a Cue point, a Cue point can be made anywhere on the disc. Once set, pressing the
Cue button (6) will return the CD to this point. A Cue point can also be assigned to each of the four memory bank buttons
(15) allowing for three independent accessible Cue points set from anywhere on the disc.
To set a Cue point, select one of the following:
1)
Pinpoint Cue:
First find the approximate Cue point by using the play/pause button (9) or search control (1) when
located access pause mode by pressing the play/pause button (9). When in pause mode use the jog wheel (11) to
scan frame by frame until you reach the desired point. Pressing play (9) will now set the cue point. At any time
pressing the cue button (6) will return the CD to the set point.
2)
On-the-fly Cue:
With the deck in play mode press the ‘IN’ button (3) your cue point is now set. Pressing the cue
button (6) will now return the CD to that point in pause mode.
Note: Pressing the Re-loop button (5) will also return to the cue point set but the music will continue in play mode, this
can be used to give a stutter effect.
2) Adding the CUE Point to the Memory Bank
To add a Cue point to memory when a Cue point has been set (see the section ‘Setting a CUE point’) please follow these
instructions:
1) Press the Memory Button (8) this will glow green on activation.
2) Press the desired Bank button 1, 2, 3 or 4 (15) this will flash blue to indicate the active Cue point.
3) Now pressing the assigned Bank Button (15) will return to the cue point set but the music will continue in play
mode, this can be used to give a stutter effect.
3) Saving to the Intelligent Memory System (IMS)
The CD-S6 Ultima comes with an Intelligent Memory System (IMS) where it has the capability to memorise virtually every
custom setting of a particular CD. The IMS can store effect parameters, Cue points and samples of a chosen disc and recall
them when the disc has been removed and reloaded at a later time.
To save to the IMS follow this instruction:
1) Once your settings have been made, Cue points etc press and hold the Memory Button (8) for at least one second,
when the settings have been stored the Memory Button will flash green and then turn off.
When the memory is full the Memory Bucket (40) in the LCD display (35) will indicate this by making surrounding line of the
bucket disappear. See section ‘clearing IMS memory’
4) Clearing the Intelligent Memory System (IMS)
If the IMS becomes full or you wish to clear the memory follow these instructions:
1) Turn the power off using the On/Off button (55)
2) Turn the power back on using the On/Off button (55)
3) Immediately turn the Search Control (1) counter clockwise
The LCD display (35) will now indicate that the IMS is clearing by displaying the word ‘ERASE’ once the IMS is clear the
player will return to its normal mode.
5) Creating a Seamless Loop
A ‘Seamless Loop’ is created by setting two points on a CD; the music will then loop without music interruption between
these two points. The loop can be of any length however if you wish to save the loop as a sample it will need to be maximum
of 6.5 seconds. To create a seamless loop follow these instructions:
1) While in Play mode; press the ‘IN’ button (3) at the desired point you wish the loop to begin. The ‘IN’ button will
flash twice to indicate the point has been set then return to a glow.
2) Next you will need to set an ‘OUT’ point for the loop. At the desired point you wish the loop to end press the ‘OUT’
button (4). The loop has now been created and the music will continuously loop from the ‘IN’ point to the ‘OUT’
point without music interruption. Both the ‘IN’ button and ‘OUT’ button will flash continuously to indicate that the
player is now in loop mode.
3) To exit the loop press the ‘OUT’ button once more. Both the ‘IN’ and ‘OUT’ buttons will stop flashing and just glow
to indicate the player is now in normal play mode, but there is a loop available to enter in to.
Once the loop has been set a loop can be re-entered at any time during the same disc by pressing the Reloop button (5) in
the seamless loop section. Pressing the Reloop button rapidly will create a stuttering effect.
