American Audio CDI 500 MP3A true “digital instrument,” the CDI 500 is loaded with cutting-edge tools for manipulating sounds, samples and tracks on the fly. It features American Audio’s patent-pending Dual “Power Touch” interactive Jog Wheel system, which provides complete accuracy in Digital Scratching. The jog wheels offer two modes of scratching: Digital Scratch; and Beat Juggle Mode for instant return to a set cue point when the platter is touched.
In addition to Digital Scratching, the American Audio CDI 500 is equipped with 8 other onboard digital FX -- Filter, Echo, Trans, Skid, Phase, Flanger, Pan and Bop – all of which can be layered over one another to create a virtually infinite palette of sounds. Each of the FX comes with 6 Preset Parameter settings, and can also be customized using the CDI 500’s Parameter Time and Ratio knobs. There’s also a convenient Digital B.P.M. Counter for keeping the FX in sync with the music.
Another feature that users will appreciate is a large, bright LCD Display that provides vital information at a glance. Included on the LCD Display is an all-new Visual Marker, which shows exactly where a disc is playing, as well as a Track Indicator, Total/Remain Time, Pitch/BPM Meter, Play/Pause/Cue Indicator, Single/Loop and more.
The CDI 500 also has 4 Flash Start Sampler Buttons, each of which can store up to a 5-second sample for instant playback with or without a CD in the drive. Other features include: Tempo Lock (Master Tempo); Seamless Loop; Reverse Play; True Instant Start; Anti-Shock Memory; and Fader Q Start (when used with compatible American Audio Q-Series Mixers).
