CDN-88 Dual CD Player Advanced Operations LOOPING: A loop is any area of a CD that you choose to repeat with no breaks. On the CDN-88 two seamless loops are possible. There are 3 buttons associated with the loop feature. LOOP IN: The “LOOP IN” is where you wish for the loop to actually start. The initial “CUE” point of the CD is also the default “LOOP IN” point for both loops or “Hot Start” point.

CDN-88 Dual CD Player The Beatkeeper™ III and Interlock mode The CDN-88 includes the latest Numark patented Beatkeeper™ technology. The Beatkeeper™ automatically tracks beats based upon a combination of frequencies and rhythm patterns in the music. It shows BPM in the display of each side and outputs 4-count (a.k.a. measure) information about the music in a marching bar graph. The Bar Graph: Most dance music and rock is set up in 4 beat increments called measures.
CDN-88 Dual CD Player Key Lock / Key Change The CDN – 88 uses Numark Patented technology to lock the key of the music in place at the current pitch position or change it from the current position. This is different than “master tempo” often found on many modern units because the key lock to the current pitch position and not automatically set to the “0” pitch position. By doing this we have allowed you to activate this function while playing without changing the key.
