(a) FADER “Q” START CONTROL: Set up your VERSADECK as described in the set-up section of this manual. After  
set up is completed load your players. By moving the mixer’s crossfader from left to right you can start and pause  
each players playback functions. For Example, when using the VERSADECK player, if your mixer’s crossfader is all  
the way to the left (player one is playing, player two is in cue or pause mode), and you move the fader at least 20%  
to the right, player two (2) will begin to play. When the crossfader is to the right, and you move it 20% to the left,  
player one (1) will begin to play. You can create great effects similar to scratching with this feature. After storing cue  
points on each side of the player, different songs may quickly be recalled by moving the mixer crossfader back  
and forth. New cue points can be easily selected on the VERSADECK player (see setting cue points page 22). “Q”  
Start control is easy to use and mastering this feature will help you create amazing effects with your music.  
(b) RELAY (FLIP-FLOP): Connect your VERSADECK player as described in the set-up section of this manual. This  
feature will start the next player once one (1) player has ended. For example, if player one (1) is playing a track and  
it ends, player two (2) will instantly begin to play. You may set RELAY to play track to track or folder to folder. For  
more information on this feature, see RELAY (FLIP-FLOP™) on page 33.

you to use the PITCH SLIDER to speed up or slow down playback speed without altering the tonal  
pitch of the track. When this function is not engaged the original tonal pitch of the track will be altered  
giving you the "chipmunk" effect when a track is played at a high rate of speed, or the "James Earl  
Jones" effect when a track is slowed to much.  
7. SGL/CTN - This function allows you to choose between single track play or continuous track play  
(all tracks in order). This function also operates in RELAY (FLIP-FLOP) mode, when RELAY is acti-  
vated.  
8. TIME BUTTON - The TIME button will switch the time value described in the TIME METER between  
ELAPSED PLAYING TIME & TRACK REMAINING TIME.  
9. JOG WHEEL MODE BUTTONS - The JOG WHEEL has 3 effect functions;  
• A. Cue Scratch Mode:  
In Playback Mode - While in playback mode the JOG WHEEL can be used to return the unit to  
the last set CUE point. Simply touch the JOG WHEEL surface and the unit will immediately re  
turn you to the last set CUE point and start playback.  
In Pause Mode - When the player is paused, touching the JOG WHEEL surface will start play-  
back and will continue to playback until the JOG WHEEL is released. Once the JOG WHEEL is  
released the unit will return to the last CUE point.  
• Vinyl Mode: When this mode is active, use the JOG WHEEL to simulate turntable scratching.  
• CDJ Mode:  
In Playback Mode - When this mode is active the JOG WHEEL can work as a pitch bend dur-  
ing playback. Turning the wheel clockwise will increase the pitch percentage up to 100%, and  
turning the wheel in the counter-clock wise direction will decrease the pitch percentage down to  
-100%. The pitch bend will be determined on how long you turn the jog wheel continuously.  
In Pause Mode - When the player is paused, you can use the JOG WHEEL to frame search.  
10. PITCH SLIDER - This slider is used to adjust the playback pitch percentage. The slider is a set  
adjustment and will remain set until the pitch slider is moved or the pitch function has been turned  
off. This adjustment can be made with or without a disc in the drive. The pitch adjustment will remain  
even if a disc has been removed and will reflect on any other disc loaded into the player. That is to  
say, if you set a +2% pitch on one disc, remove that disc and insert another, that disc too will have a  
+2% pitch. The amount of pitch being applied will be displayed in the VFD (23).  
11. (+) PITCH BEND BUTTON - The (+) pitch bend function creates a momentary “BUMP” in the  
audio's BPM’s (Beats per minute) while it is playing. This will allow you to match the beats between  
the two playing deck’s or any other music source. Remember, this is a momentary function. When  
you remove your finger from this button, the BPM’s will automatically return to PITCH SLIDERS (10)  
selected pitch. Holding down this button will give a maximum of +16% pitch.  
(-) PITCH BEND BUTTON - The (-) pitch bend function creates a momentary “Slow Down” in the  
audio’s BPM’s (Beats per minute) while it is playing. This will allow you to match the beats between  
the two playing deck’s or other playing music source. Remember, this is a momentary function. When  
you remove your finger from the pitch button, the BPM’s will automatically return to PITCH SLID-  
ERS (10) pitch value. Holding down this button will give a maximum of -16% pitch. Use this function  
to slow to another playing music source. Be sure to notice that this function is a momentary pitch  
adjustment, for a more precise adjustment use the PITCH SLIDER (10) to match the BPM’s with  
another playing music source.

BASS CONTROL - This knob is used to adjust the low frequency levels of a channel allowing  
for a maximum bass gain of +10dB or maximum signal decrease of -35dB. Turning the knob in  
a counter-clockwise direction will decrease the amount of bass applied to a channel signal,  
turning the knob in a clockwise direction will increase the amount of bass applied to a channel  
signal.  
28. MASTER VOLUME LEVEL INDICATORS - The dual MASTER LEVEL LED indicators are used to detail the  
master output level. The meters will detail the output level of both the left and right channels.  
29. CHANNEL FADER - These faders are used to control the output signal of any source assigned to its par-  
ticular channel.  
30. CROSSFADER CURVE ADJUSTMENT - The 3 position switch changes the behaviour of the crossfader  
action by changing the crossover curve slope. The 3 settings from left to right are: Quick Fade, Short Fade, and  
Normal Fade. (Quick Fade is usually used for scratching).

cue mode. To return to normal fader operation turn the FADERSTART ON/OFF SWITCH to the OFF  
position.  
32. REPLACEABLE CROSSFADER - This fader is used to blend the output signals of channels one and two  
together. When the fader is in the full left position (channel 1), the output signal of channel one will be controlled  
by the master volume level. The same fundamentals will apply for channel two. Sliding the fader from one posi-  
tion to another will vary the output signals of channels one and two respectively. When the crossfader is set in  
the center position, the output signals of both the channels one and channels two will be even.  
33. MASTER INDICATOR BUTTON - This button is used to choose between master level indicators and chan-  
nel level indicators.  
34. RELAY BUTTON - This button activates the RELAY function.  
35. BOOTH LEVEL - This knob is used to adjusts the monitor volume output level. Turn the knob in a clockwise

display information (66) in the VFD (23). The following is a break down of the time  
settings and their definitions:  
1) REMAIN (68) - This details the time in the VFD (23) as the current tracks’  
remaining running time.  
2) ELAPSED (68) - This details the time in the VFD (23) as the current tracks’  
elapsed running time.  
Figure 21  
TIME BAR INDICATOR - Details the time defined in the TIME METER (66) as a visual bar icon. As with the  
TIME METER (66) this bar is also dependent on the selected time function [REMAIN OR ELAPSED. This bar  
will begin to flash when a track is ending regardless of which time funct  
i
on you are in. Use the flashing bar  
as a visual reminder that a track is ending.

PITCH ADJUSTMENTS  
PITCH ADJUSTMENTS:  
You can activate the PITCH SLIDER (10) by pressing the PITCH ON/OFF BUTTON (4). When the button LED  
is lit, the PITCH SLIDER (10) is active and the pitch can be adjusted. When the button LED is not lit PITCH  
SLIDER (10) is not active. The different pitch adjustments allow a track's or a loop's playback speed to be  
manipulated. This speed manipulation is commonly used to beat match between two or more music sources  
such as a turntable or CD player. The playback speed may be increased or decreased by a factor of +/-16. The  
next section details the different pitch manipulation schemes.  
1. PITCH SLIDER (10):  
This function will increase or decrease the tracks playback speed or "PITCH."  
The maximum pitch percentage manipulation in this function is +/-16%. The  
PITCH SLIDER (10) is used to decrease or increase the playback pitch. If the  
slider is moved up (towards the top of the unit) the pitch will decrease, if the  
slider is moved down (towards the bottom of the unit) the pitch will increase.  
The PITCH SLIDER adjustment can be changed to range from +/-8%, +/-10%,  
or +/-16% (See changing "PITCH SLIDER PERCENTAGE RANGE" on the next  
page). This pitch adjustments will effect normal playback and loops only when  
the PITCH ON/OFF BUTTON (4) is turned on.  
Figure 25  
Activating the PITCH SLIDER (10): To activate the PITCH SLIDER you  
must activate the pitch adjustment. Press the PITCH ON/OFF BUTTON (4)  
to activate the pitch adjustment. The ON/OFF BUTTON (4) LED will glow  
when the function is activated. If the pitch function is not activated the PITCH  
SLIDER will not function.  
Figure 26  
Using the PITCH SLIDER (10): Be sure the pitch function has been acti-  
vated as described above. To use the PITCH SLIDER slide it up to decrease  
the pitch and down to increase it.

PITCH ADJUSTMENTS  
Adjusting the PITCH SLIDER'S RANGE (5): You may change the  
PITCH SLIDER'S (10) operating range at any time. To change the operat-  
ing range be sure the pitch function is turned on, see figure 33. The pitch  
percentage can be changed between +/-6%, +/-10%, and +/-16%. 6%  
will allow the least amount of pitch manipulation and 16% will allow the  
most amount of pitch manipulation. To adjust the different ranges, press  
the PITCH ON/OFF BUTTON (4) and tap on the PITCH RANGE BUTTON  
(5) until your desired value is reached, see figure 28.  
Figure 28  
2. PITCH BENDING:  
Unlike the PITCH SLIDER (10) adjustment this function will momentarily increase or decrease a tracks speed  
during playback. There are two ways to operate this function with the (-) & (+) PITCH BEND BUTTONS (11)  
or with the JOG WHEEL (16). The maximum pitch bend percentage allowed is +/- 16%. The pitch bend func-  
tion will work in conjunction with the PITCH SLIDER (10) pitch setting. For example, if the PITCH SLIDER (10)  
is set to a 2% pitch gain the pitch bending process will begin at 2% and will continue to the maximum of  
+/- 16%.  
Holding down or tapping on the (-)  
PITCH BEND BUTTON (11) will provide  
a slow down in the playback pitch.  
Holding down or tapping on the (+)  
PITCH BEND BUTTON (11) will provide a  
speed bump in the playback pitch.  
Figure 29  
Figure 30  
PITCH BEND BUTTONS (11):  
The (+) PITCH BEND BUTTON (11) will increase track playback speed and the (-) PITCH BEND BUTTON (11)  
will decrease track playback speed. The extent to which the speed changes is proportionate to the amount  
of time the button is pressed. For example, if the (+) PITCH BEND BUTTON (11) is held down continuously as  
in figure 30, the audio speed will increases and will continue to increase until it reaches a maximum of 16%  
speed gain. When you release the (+) PITCH BEND BUTTON (11) the audio speed will automatially return to  
c
it’s previous set speed.

PITCH ADJUSTMENTS  
3. JOG WHEEL (16):  
The JOG WHEEL will temporarily bend the pitch if a track is in playback mode  
Rotating the wheel in a clockwise direction will increase your track pitch and  
rotating the wheel in a counter-clockwise direction will slow your track pitch.  
The speed you rotate the JOG WHEEL will determine pitch bend percentage  
(%). For example, if the JOG WHEEL is continuously turned in a counter-  
clockwise direction the playback speed will steadily decrease and will con-  
tinue to decrease until playback reaches a maximum of -100% and playback  
stops entirely. When you stop turning the JOG WHEEL the disc speed will  
automatically return to it’s previous set speed.

BUILT-IN EFFECTS  
The VERSADECK comes with four built in effects. These effects can be used one at a time or you  
may choose to overlap the effects and use up to four at a time. The Built-in effects include Echo,  
Filter, Skid, and Flanger. You can choose to use the effects with their default parameters or you may  
choose to customize each effect by changing the parameters. The parameter values for all the effects  
will range. Some effects will have more adjustable parameters than others. The parameters have two  
adjustable values, PR (Parameter Ratio) and PT (Parameter Time). All parameters will be reset to  
there default values when power is shut off!  
SKID EFFECT: The Skid effect simulates the stop and start time of  
a turntable platter. The Skid Effect has two adjustable parameters,  
Parameter Time (PT) and Parameter Ratio (PR). The PT will adjust the  
Start Time and the PR will adjust the Stop Time (see "Parameters" on  
page 32).  
Figure 38  
FILTER EFFECT: The Filter effect tweaks the original sound to add dif-  
ferent tonal definition. The Filter Effect has two adjustable parameters,  
Parameter Time (PT) and Parameter Ratio (PR). The PT will adjust the  
time it takes for the filter to sweep the frequency band, and the PR will  
adjust the Frequency Range; 0 is the low end, 155 mid range, & 255 high  
end frequencies. (see "Parameters" on page 32).  
Figure 39  
ECHO EFFECT: The Echo effect adds an echo to your out-  
put signal. The Echo effect has two adjustable parameters,  
Parameter Time (PT) and Parameter Ratio (PR). The PT will ad-  
just the time range and the PR will adjust the dry to wet ratio;  
000 (Dry)-255 (Wet) (see "Parameters" on page 32).

CROSSFADER REPLACEMENT  
The crossfader is “Hot Swapable” which means it may be replaced at any time, even when power is  
applied. Only replace with American Audio Part Feather Fader Plus. Replacing with any other model  
fader may seriously damage your mixer. Please, always use insulated tools.  
Replacing the Crossfader:  
1. Using a Phillips screw driver, unscrew the six stainless steel retainer screws that hold the mixer  
face plate in place.  
2. Gently remove the crossfader knob. Lift and remove the mixer face plate to access the cross  
fader. Carefully pull the crossfader up from its seated position.  
3. After removing the crossfader, disconnect the ribbon cable that attaches the crossfader to the  
PC board. Grasp the crossfader by its base and pull the ribbon cable by its connector not the  
actual cables. The connector is designed to only fit one way, so don’t worry about the connec-  
tors orientation.  
4. Unscrew the ground cable from the crossfader plate. Now unscrew the crossfader from the  
crossfader plate and replace with the new crossfader. Connect the ground cable to the cross  
fader plate.  
5. Connect the new crossfader to the ribbon cable and replace in reverse order.  
NOTE: All other areas of the VERSADECK are not to be opened or replaced by user, dealer, or un-  
authorized service centers. These actions will result in a voided warranty.
