Jog shuttle wheel
BPM Studio allows
you to use a lot of the Jog shuttle wheel functions easily and ergonomically. The external ring and
the internal disc are very responsive. If the ring is moved farther i.e. if the internal wheel is moved more
quickly so more quickly will be made parameter modification of the player. You can influence on
play of loaded i.e. played title with the use of wheel. You can move the loaded title forward or in
the reverse direction using the external ring. According to the turn angle of the ring, there are 3
different search speeds available (+1, +2, +3 or -1, -2, -3) and step mode where you can play the
title in 1 minute increments (+min or -min). If the player is in Pause mode or in Cue mode, then the
Cue point can be set exactly using the internal disc. If the player is in play mode, then the title can
be slowed down with the internal disc or accelerated by using Pitch Bend.

Cue key longer than one second and the player then moves to the

Reverse side sockets
Fade start socket
This socket usually works with all mixers available with fade start function as for example
of Pioneer series. Connect (3,6 mm stereo jack) plug of Remote Control Unit using universal
cable to your mixer.
How it works:
Both players are controlled by separated 3 mm stereo jack. Player starts by locking
of the contact S1 (temporarily or constantly) and stops when contact S2 is locked
(temporarily or constantly). Through program options you can activate fade start and
also stop separate fade.
Remote start input (P. START)
This input works with mixers through Remote Start function (or Puls Start) as for example some Behringer's models). Both players will be controlled using one contact. Connections to the mixer are mostly accomplished as 6,3 mmm - mono jack. Connection to BPM Studio Remote Control Unit RCP-1001 under RCP-2001can be made through a 3 mm stereo jack.
How it works:
The Player A is started by locking of the contact A and is stopped by locking it once more. The same is valid for the Player B and contact B. Through program options you can activate fade start and also stop separate fade.
