MAIN FEATURES
Congratulations on your new purchase of the DN-
S3000. The DN-S3000 table top single CD player is
equipped with a variety of advanced features,
functions and rich performance for unlimited
creativeness and showmanship.
Professional Structure and parts
1. Active Motor Platter
When playback is started, the Platter turns, feels
and reacts in the same way as with an analog
turntable.
The active Platter consists of the Motor-driven
Platter, Slip Mat, Scratch Disc, and Slip Sheet just
like an analog turntable for true emulation. The
beats can be matched and scratching can be
performed with the same feeling as an analog
turntable.
2. Slot loading and Removable drive
Our newly designed replaceable drive (Slot-in
type) structure is geared for professionals who
require virtually “zero down time”. The heavy-
duty drives are built with optimum parts to assure
longevity.
3. Esthetically Ambient Design
Visibility is greatly improved thanks to the large FL
tube displays, backlit buttons and the red
illumination eject bar. All of these items come in
handy during low light environments.
Features and Functions
The implementation of a powerful DSP and large
memory capacity allows for many new controlling
features such as:
1. SCRATCH
Thanks to the active Platter and Scratch Disc, the
Scratch sound is comparable to analog
turntables.
Furthermore, the Main Track and Samples can be
selected as the Scratch sound source at the
touch of a button.
2. MP3 PLAY BACK
It is possible to play MP3 files created in the
specified format.
Files can be searched for easily either manually,
by scanning or using a number of file search
functions (File search, File/Folder search, Artist
name search, Title name search, File name
search).
In addition, a number of play modes are
supported, including scratch, hot start and
seamless loop playback.
3. NEXT TRACK RESERVE (New)
The next track can be selected while continuing
to play the current track. Replacing with playback
of the next track without interrupting playback is
possible.
4. HOT START and STUTTER
The Hot Start function lets you start playback
immediately from a set point decided by you.The
loaded Hot Start can also be used to “Stutter”
that point. When in Stutter mode, momentary
audio is triggered according to the length of time
of which this button is held down and released.
5. SEAMLESS LOOP
With this function, any section on a disc can be
played repeatedly between A & B points with no
break in sound or limit in length. The DN-S3000
has a variety of looping options such as Exit and
Reloop.
6. SAMPLER
On-board digital Sampler can record up to 15
seconds CD quality sound at 44.1kHz sampling
frequency. You can seamlessly loop this sample
or play it backwards (REVERSE). The pitch and
output level of a sample can be adjusted
independently.
The B point can be easily set or changed exactly
the same way as you would with the A-B
Seamless Loop function.
7. A/B TRIM and MOVE
The A and B points for the Seamless Loop and
Sampler loop points can easily be adjusted using
the Scratch Disc.
Trim and Move modes are available.
A-B TRIM: For adjusting the points while
playing the live loop.
A/B MOVE: For moving the points using the
manual search.
8. PLATTER MODE
Analog turntable-like playback can be simulated
using four Platter effects.
DRAG START: Simulates the dragging sound
of a turntable’s slow starting up from
a stop mode. (Start-up time can be
adjusted.)
BRAKE: Simulates a winding-down sound of a
turntable coming to a full stop slowly.
(Slowing-down time can be
adjusted.)
DUMP: Plays the sound backwards while
continuing in a forward motion
without losing “elapse time” when
you return back to normal play.
RVS: (Reverse) Plays the sound backwards
until you return to normal play.
9. MEMO
Various settings such as Cue Point, Hot Start, A-
B Loop, Pitch and Key Adjust can be saved to the
internal non-volatile memory for later recall. Up to
5000 points are available.
In Addtion, memo data can be transferred into
the DN-S3000 from an another DN-S3000, DN-
S5000, DN-D9000 or DN-2600F.
10. PITCH/KEY ADJUST
PITCH: Playback speed is adjusted with
PITCH slider. Adjustable pitch
ranges are +/- 4, 10, 16, 24,
50,100% (selectable live).
KEY ADJUST: Keeps the original key even if the
pitch playing speed is changed
with the PITCH slider.
11. DIGITAL OUT
The digital output for Main provides a true 100%
digital signal without any restrictions or
limitations regardless of pitch change or mode
setting.
12. FADER START / X-EFFECT IN/OUT
The DN-S3000 FADER START and X-EFFECT
controls are compatible with our DN-X800 mixer.
Only Fader Start is compatible with the DN-X400
mixer. When two DN-S3000s are connected by
X-EFFECT, it is possible to compare their data
memos.
13. SHOCKPROOF MEMORY
20 seconds of shock-proof memory guards
against audible interruptions due to external
mechanical shocks such as bumps or other hard
vibrations, which is especially helpful for the
mobile DJ as well as for nightclub-installed
applications.
14. PRESETS
It is possible to customise the machine to your
preference by saving your favourite setting to
internal memory. For items found in the presets,
please see page 19.
