Cortex ushers in another first in a revolutionary new era in digital
DJ technology— no more laptops, books of CD’s or flight cases of vinyl.
Presenting the industry’s first USB-compatible Digital Music
Turntable/Controller, the HDTT-5000. Simply show up to the club
and hook up your pre-loaded USB storage device such as a flash drive,
external hard drive, or even an iPod and you’re ready to rock the
house. Just plug in and play! The HDTT-5000 puts state-of-the-art power
into the hands of DJ’s to cue, play, effect, loop, sample, reverse and
even scratch digital music files. Use Cortex’s “intelligent music
database management” system to find any MP3 or WAV file on your storage
device lightning fast by artist, title, genre, even by words or
phrases; play them with ultra-precise pitch resolution. And “daisy
chain” two HDTT-5000 units together for the ultimate level of creative
performance. Standard Features: Intelligent Music Database Management
The HDTT-5000's database management system allows the user to search through a massive library of music within seconds. PC-Based Database Creation
Create
database files at a gig via the HDTT unit or the PC application
(downloadable from the Cortex website) on a home computer with
lightning fast speed. Waveform Display Mode
Via
the Cortex database software, available FREE from the Cortex website,
HDC-1000 users will be able to create a waveform of each song on their
USB storage device which can then be optionally selected to be
displayed on the HDTT-5000's LCD screen. Keyboard Support
Quickly find that hot new track in a massive library of music with just a few taps of a USB-compatible keyboard. File Explorer Mode
Perfect
for DJs that have their own organizational system already in place.
Browse through files and directories exactly as they exist on the
storage device. Search Options

search the same way that they would using an iPod ® or similar portable
music player through a number of browsing options, including Search by
Artist, Song Title, Album, and Genre. String Search
Easily
search by a certain word or phrase to find tracks, even if you're
unsure of the name. When the user inputs a keyword, it will search all
Artists, Titles, Albums, and Genres, and show how many of each that it
found. CD/DVD Audio and Data Playback

to abandon your CD collection, the HDTT-5000 can play user-created
CD-Rs, DVD-Rs and audio CDs with any compatible USB CD-ROM or DVD-ROM
drive. Variable Pitch Slider (+/- 4, 8, 16, 24%) and Ultra-precise Pitch Control

interface, and the samples pitch can be altered. DSP Effects
The
effects module gives the user an array of 12 effects (including Filter,
Flanger, Echo, Delay, Auto-Pan and more) to choose from as well as
truly comprehensive parameter setting capabilities. The HDTT-5000
allows users to edit EACH parameter in real time offering a more
in-depth ability to modify the sound while still preserving the
simplicity of the preset. Comprehensive Realtime Looping
Up
to 4 loops can be programmed with a loop-editing feature that allows
points to be imported from saved hot cue points. Unlike a traditional
CD player, the loops can be edited easily using the HDTT-5000's
graphical user interface, which allows the loop to be trimmed until it
sounds perfect. Loops may be beat synced as well - user has option of
selecting 1/2/4/8/16 beat loops, as well as user-selectable time frames. Cue Point Management
Cue
points can be set like a normal CD player, so that the DJ can return to
a certain time in the track just by pressing a button. The HDTT-5000
unit allows for 4 hot cue points, allowing the user to advance to a
certain point in a song without any pause in playback, and can be used
along with loops for live remixing. Main Playback Screen
The
backlit graphical LCD playback screens display info on any track in the
catalog, showing everything from the essentials such as artist, track
title, pitch, time elapsed/remaining to detailed information including
file format (MP3or WAV), genre, and track length. Additionally, the
HDTT-5000 offers a waveform view, which helps the club DJ “see” where
the beat comes in, and at what point to segue into the next track
playing. Touch-Sensitive Digital Turntable Platter
Get
the sound and feel of vinyl while preserving the convenience of digital
formats. The HDTT-5000's large Touch Sensitive platter allows you to
cue or scratch your track while rotating the wheel in either direction. Auto-BPM Counter

Master
Tempo locks in the pitch of the track, even when you change the speed
up or down, ensuring no noticeable difference in how the vocals or
instruments sound. Key Adjust

Instant Reverse is controlled by merely pressing a button on the face of the HDTT unit with no loss of tempo or pitch. Master/Slave Link
Easily link two Cortex HDTT units together to access one USB compatible storage device for dual turntable performance. Playlist Editing

playlists. This is advantageous for unattended playback, or for mobile
entertainers who have certain playlists in place for standard events. Storage Device Selection

that new digital promo or just-finished song from your iPod or USB
memory flash drive and play it tonight! With 5 USB ports (and support
