DECK MODE SETTINGS (A AND B)
MODE buttons, located near the pitch sliders of each deck, can be pressed to pop up the settings dialog for
Deck A or B. The appropriate button lights up blue while active. Press again to close the dialog.
Use the Mode Settings dialogs to adjust those settings for each deck which do not have their own dedicated
button.
TRACK LOADING
Choose how you want songs loaded and played from the Crate.
Manual
Tracks are loaded to deck manually, by you. When songs are finished they return to the start and
pause.
Automatic
The next song (at the top of the Crate) will be loaded to deck, and cued at the start.
Continuous
Like Automatic, but the next song will automatically start to play.
Cyclic
Like Continuous, but after each song has played it is sent back to the bottom of the Crate, creating a
never ending sequence of playback.
For the modes which automatically load the deck, the following conditions must be met for D2 Director to
load the next song:
This is to prevent automatic loading while you're cueing or mixing on the deck.
Tip: For continuous looping play of a collection of songs, send your collection to the crate then choose Cyclic from the
Track Loading option. This works for either or both decks at once! The songs will play continuously from the crate until you
pause the decks.
TIME DISPLAY
Set the time code display mode.
Elapsed
Display time elapsed (count up) on the deck.
Remaining
Display time remaining (count down) on the deck.
FADER START
Configure fader start function if a compatible mixer is connected.
Off
Ignore fader start signals.
Cue
Return the play position to the cue point and pause after fading away from the deck. Resume
playback when starting to fade back toward the deck.
Pause
Similar to Cue, but pauses at the current position instead of the Cue point.
Tech note: D2 Director uses the widely supported 5V Pulse method of fader start signalling. For
cable setup, refer to "Connection Diagram" section of this manual. Refer to your mixer's manual to
check compatibility.
