Vestax CDX05 CD/MP3 Scratch Player with Effects

Description

Digital audio player with vinyl sound emulation!

As technology has progressed DJs have embraced new formats whilst continuing to utilise the existing, and much loved, vinyl. However, the sound of digital media is often very different from the traditional analog sound, making the transition between formats very noticeable. The new CDX-05 features a unique vinyl filter mode, which cleverly adjusts the filter settings to give digital sound the warmth of vinyl. Now mixing between CD / MP3 tracks and vinyl has become more seamless than ever before.

The CDX-05 also has an amazing array of features. Total pitch adjustment, up to +/- 100%, allows any track and style to be mixed, and with a high quality master tempo function the sound quality does not deteriorate, even at extremes pitches. MP3 Data and CD-RW formats can be read with the CDX-05, allowing the user to conveniently use home made recordings. Seamless loops can be created, with a separate 8-second sampler and multiple beat-syncable effects, where mixes can be made even more exciting and creative than ever before. The added inclusion of the TT-LINK accessory socket will also allow DJs to control the basic CD functions via any turntable simply by adding the Tascam accessory wheel.
