American Audio flex 100mp3 User Manual

(a) FADER “Q” START CONTROL: This feature is used in conjunction with most American Audio® and American

DJ® audio mixers that also feature “Fader Q Start” control. For best results use this feature with two (2) Flex

100Mp3 players. Connect your Flex 100MP3’s 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 your

Flex 100MP3 playback functions. For Example, when using two (2) Flex 100MP3 players and a Fader “Q” Start

mixer, 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 and player one (1) will return to

cue mode. When the crossfader is to the right, and you move it 20% to the left, player one (1) will begin to play and

player two (2) will return to its’ cue point. You can create great effects similar to scratching with this feature. After

stor ing cue points on each side of the CD player, different songs or samples may quickly be recalled by moving

the mixer crossfader back and forth. New cue points can be easily selected on the Flex 100MP3 player (see

setting cue points page 18). “Q” Start control is easy to use and mastering this feature will help you create amazing

effects with your music. Note: For proper “Q” Start operation be sure your mixers “Hamster” setting are set to 1/2

(Normal Setting).

(b) FLIP-FLOP: This feature is used in conjunction with American Audio® mixers that also feature Fader “Q” Start. For

FLIP-FLOP results you must use two (2) Flex 100MP3 players. Connect your Flex 100MP3’s 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 disc and it ends, player two (2) will instantly begin to play. You may set FLIP-FLOP to

play track to track or disc to disc. For more information on this feature, see FLIP-FLOP™ on page 27.

(c) mEmORY BACKUP: The Flex 100MP3 has a five (5) year memory back-up, that will save your setting in case

the power supply is accidentally disconnected. Flex 100MP3 will remember your last setting even if you discon-

nect your main power. The Flex 100MP3 will store your cue points and samples in memory if you accidentally

eject a disc or shut off the power. See memory on page 22.

(d) PROGRAmmABLE CUE POINTS: The Flex 100MP3 has four Bank ButtonS (13). 500 Cue points can be

stored in each of the Bank ButtonS (13), for a total of 2000. These cue points can be stored into the unit's inter-

nal memory and may be recalled at any time. See setting "Cue Points" on page 18.

(e) FLASH START FUNCTION: This feature is used in conjunction with most American Audio® and American DJ®

audio mixers that also feature “Fader Q Start” control. This function work similar to the Fader "Q" Start Control

described above. In this case the crossfader is used to start and stop any sample that is stored in the players

memory.

(f)

(when in pause or cue mode). This will lengthen the life of your motor drive and laser. To initialize the player, just

press the cue or play buttons.
