CDN90 THE BEATKEEPER™ III and INTERLOCK The CDN90 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 and outputs 4-count (a.k.a. measure) information about the music in a marching bar graph. Bar Graph: Most dance music and rock is set up in 4 beat increments called measures.
CDN90 KEY LOCK / KEY CHANGE The CDN90 uses Numark exclusive 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. Key Lock: Pressing holds the key in place.
