A. PLAYER - FRONT (FIGURE 1)  
1. (-) PITCH BEND BUTTON - The (-) pitch bend function creates a momentary “Slow Down” in the  
BPM’s (Beats per minute) while it is playing. This will allow you to match the beats between two play-  
ing audio sources. Remember, this is a momentary function. When you remove your finger from the  
pitch button, the BPM’s will automatically return to the set pitch value. Holding down this button will  
give a maximum of -100% 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 FADER to match the BPM’s with another playing music source.  
(+) PITCH BEND BUTTON - The (+) pitch bend function creates a momentary “BUMP” in the  
BPM’s (Beats per minute) while it is playing. This will allow you to match the beats between two play-  
ing audio sources. Remember, this is a momentary function. When you remove your finger from this  
button, the BPM’s will automatically return to the selected pitch. Holding down this button will give a  
maximum of +100% pitch.  
Hold SHIFT and the PITCH BUTTONS to adjust the pitch fader. NOTE: This feature has an auto repeat  
feature so the slider will move smoothly as if a fader was being move.

knob will temporarily control the effect parameter till the effect is deactivated. Press the knob to  
deactivate the effect.  
SAMPLER SELECT - Holding SHIFT while turning this knob will set the sampler on in the sam-  
ple window. Rotate the knob left or right once the the desired effect is found. Start/Stop the  
sampler by pressing the knob. If a sample is active, the knob will control the volume temporarily  
while the sample is playing.  
LOOP ADJUSTMENT - If a loop is active, this knob can control/adjust the loop size till the loop  
is exited.  
3. MIXER SECTION  
CHANNEL GAIN CONTROL - This adjustment is used to adjust the audio source signal input gain  
for a channel. Never use the gain control to adjust a channels output volume. Setting the gain level  
properly will ensure a clean output signal. An improper gain level adjustment will send a distorted  
signal throughout the entire audio line which may damage speakers and amplifiers. To properly set a  
channels gain level control:  
1. Be sure the MASTER VOLUME CONTROL is set to level 4.  
2. Set the GAIN KNOB to level 8.  
3. Begin playback on an audio source connected to the channel you are adjusting.  
4. Use the Gain Control to adjust an average output volume of +4 dB.  
5. Repeat this step for all channels  
CHANNEL TREBLE CONTROL - This knob is used to adjust the treble levels of a channel allowing  
for a maximum treble gain of +6dB or maximum decrease of -100dB. Turning the knob in a counter-  
clockwise direction will decrease the amount of treble applied to a channel signal, turning the knob in  
a clockwise direction will increase the amount of treble applied to a channel signal.  
CHANNEL MIDRANGE CONTROL - This knob is used to adjust the midrange levels of a channel  
allowing for a maximum midrange gain of +6dB or maximum decrease of -100dB. Turning the knob in  
a counter-clockwise direction will decrease the amount of midrange applied to a channel signal, turn-  
ing the knob in a clockwise direction will increase the amount of midrange applied to a channel signal.  
CHANNEL BASS CONTROL - This knob is used to adjust the low frequency levels of a channel  
allowing for a maximum bass gain of +6dB or maximum signal decrease of -100dB. 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.  
4. MASTER VOLUME CONTROL - This knob is used to control the master output level. To avoid  
distorted output try to maintain an average output signal level no greater than +4dB. To avoid speaker  
damage that may be caused by excessive volume, be sure this knob is always set to zero (completely  
down) before turning the unit on.  
5. NAVIGATION BUTTONS - These buttons allow easy navigation of your music library on your soft-  
ware.  
BROWSE KNOB - Turn this knob to scroll through and select your music tracks in the soft-  
ware. To enter a folder or return to the last folder in the software, press the knob.  
LOAD BUTTON - Press this button to load the selected track to that deck. Pressing this button  
and the SHIFT button will CUE the source to the headphones.

GENERAL FUNCTIONS AND CONTROLS (Cont.)  
6. LOOP - This button will set a 4 beat loop and activate loop divide and multiply functions on the  
FX select knob.  
7. PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON - Press this button to PLAY/PAUSE what ever music source is playing.  
8. CUE - Pressing the CUE button during playback immediately pauses playback and returns the  
track to the last set cue point. The red CUE LED will glow when the unit is in cue mode. The LED will  
also flash every time a new CUE POINT is set. The CUE button can be held down to momentarily  
play the track. When you release the CUE button it instantly returns to the CUE POINT. You can also  
tap the CUE button to create a BOP EFFECT.  
9. SYNC BUTTON - Use this button to set this deck to master and auto sync and the other deck's  
tempo to master.  
10. VINYL BUTTON - Pushing this button activates SCRATCH mode.  
11. CROSSFADER - This fader is used to blend the output signals of channels A and B together.  
When the fader is in the full left position (channel A), the output signal of channel A will be controlled  
by the master volume level. The same fundamentals will apply for channel B. Sliding the fader from  
one position to another will vary the output signals of channels A and B respectively. When the cross-  
fader is set in the center position, the output signals of both the channels A and channels B will be  
even.  
12. JOG WHEEL - This wheel has three functions;  
Attention: Make sure that NOTHING is touch or resting on the jog wheels when you power on the  
ELMC-1.  
A. The wheel works as a pitch bend during Playback. Turning the wheel clockwise can increase the  
pitch percentage up to 100%, and turning the wheel in the counter-clockwise direction can de-  
crease the pitch percentage down to -100%. The pitch bend will be determined on how long  
you turn the jog wheel continuously.  
B. The jog wheel also controls the scratch effect, when the scratch effect is active.  
C. The jog wheel can also serve as frame search. To use frame search the track must be paused  
and the scratch effect must be disabled.  
Note: The inside of the wheel is touch sensitive and the outside edge of the wheel is not. Example:  
You can scratch by touching the inside or center of the wheel, and pitch bend when you touch the  
outside edge of the wheel.

CLEANING  
Due to fog residue, smoke, and dust, cleaning the mixer should be carried out periodically to residue  
build up.  
1. Use normal glass cleaner and a soft cloth to wipe down the outside casing.  
2. Use a cleaner specially designed for electronics to spray in and around the knobs and switch.  
This will reduce small particle built up that can effect the proper operation of the mixer.  
3. Cleaning should be carried out every 30-60 days to prevent heavy built up.  
4. Always be sure to dry all parts completely before plugging the mixer in.  
Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the mixer operates (i.e. smoke, fog residue,  
dust, dew).
