THE GRAPHICAL INTERFACE
HDMIX boasts a ground breaking graphical interface, set to revolutionise your DJ experience. The interface
provides fast and friendly access to the advanced features of the product, and is designed to fit with how you
work. To make this possible, HDMIX is fully multitasking - you can instantly switch between functions, and if
one of them is busy for a while (perhaps building a new library) everything else remains accessible.
In this section we'll explore the graphical interface, which takes no more than a few minutes to master, then
in later sections we can focus on the DJ features of HDMIX.
Switching On and Off
Use the power button in the top right corner of the HDMIX to switch on and off.
To switch on, press and release the power button. It will light up red and the HDMIX will start up. Take care
not to hold the power button down when switching on, as this will invoke Upgrader Mode (see "HDMIX
Software Upgrades" section).
To switch off, press and hold the power button. A timer bar will appear on screen, filling from left to right as long as the
power button is held. The HDMIX will power off when the bar reaches the right hand side, which takes about three
seconds. This is to prevent accidental power down during a performance.
The Display
Central to HDMIX is the large graphical display. Some parts of this are dedicated to certain functions, while others
change depending on what you're doing.
DECK DISPLAY (A)
Deck Displays
Playback information for each deck is always visible, no matter what you're doing. Here you can check what tracks are
cued, time information, pitch adjustment and other important data. See "Views" section for details.
WAIT – this symbol means that the deck is busy loading a song, indicated by the
progress bar. By using the Librarian software to pre-prepare your music library,
songs will load faster, ready to play.
PAUSE – this symbol means that the deck is currently paused.
CUE – this symbol means that the deck is currently paused at the cue point.
PLAY – this symbol means that the deck is currently playing.
AUTOMATIC – indicates that Automatic track loading option is enabled. See
"Track Loading" section for more information.
CONTINUOUS – indicates that Continuous track loading option is enabled. See
"Track Loading" section for more information.
CYCLIC – indicates that Cyclic track loading option is enabled. See "Track
Loading" section for more information.
KEY LOCK – indicates that the Key Lock feature has been engaged. The icon
will blink if Key Lock is disengaged but there is still a Key Lock Shift applied.
REPEAT – indicates Repeat Mode; track loaded on deck will loop once it reaches
the end.
