The Denon DND4500 is in another league. Whether you're playing MP3s or standard audio CDs, the DND4500 offers you two Seamless loops with live B-Trim editing for mixing perfection, two Hot starts for instantly starting from your predetermined point on a track, Cue stutter, Selectable pitch ranges from 4% to 100%, an adjustable Brake effect, and a superb Key Adjust feature, which keeps vocals and music sounding true even when you adjust the speed of the track.
Memo Points
With 1000 memo points on-board, the DND4500 can store all your settings on any track and recall them automatically when that track is cued in either CD drive.
MP3 File Search System allows you to locate in seconds hundreds of MP3 tracks on a CD-R/RW by artist name, song title or folder. In addition, ID3 tags and CD Text are supported on a large, easy-to-read dot matrix fluorescent tube display.
Cueing Accuracy and BPM Counter
Precision cueing to frame accuracy (1/75 of a sec.) can be set quickly and easily using the 50mm jog wheel with the outer shuttle ring for user-adjustable quick jumps while searching. The inner jog wheel controls pitch bend, which is essential for synchronizing tracks for beat mixing aided by the built-in automatic BPM counters.
Presets and Jump Times
The DND4500 provides customizable presets that are stored in a non-volatile memory. For example, you can set Quick Search Jump Time to 30 seconds each way instead of 10 seconds; have the Key Adjust feature automatically on at power up; and have " remaining time" shown for each track instead of " elapsed" .
Relay Play with Adjustable Overlap
Background music no longer has to have silence between tracks. The unit can go straight into Play mode when it is powered up. Music can also be played alternately from two discs using Relay play, which will start the next track several seconds before the previous track finishes.
