CDX Firmware Ver.2.0

CDX Firmware Ver.2.0

CDX-05 Firmware ver2.0 now available! Get the latest firmware and upgrade your CDX-05/CDR-07!

MAIN FEATURES

1. Back spin update
Until now, you couldn't backspin a CD, because once you let it go in scratch mode, the CD went back to normal play. We've updated the detection system making it possible.

2. Filter effect update
a) Originally the filter effect started right away when you pushed the button. In ver.2.0 the effect remains to be DRY when the button is pushed and blends to WET by moving the jog wheel.
b) The Hi pass filter turns on with the first spin to the right, and enters Band pass filter on the second spin, sweeping towards low frequencies. The effect goes back to DRY by spinning it to the opposite direction. The Low pass filter will turn on with the first spin to the left, and enters Band pass filter on the second spin, sweeping towards high frequencies. The effect goes back to DRY by spinning it in the opposite direction.
c) The frequency point selected with the jog wheel remains where it is, even when the effect is turned off. Push the filter button for more than 2 seconds to clear the memory point.

3. Master tempo update
Sound quality has improved when using +/-8% master tempo.

4. Effect sync switch update
We've updated the switch to be turned on before selecting an effect (delay/flanger/filter) for speedy operation.

5. BPM TAP system software update

6. CUE 1 to CUE 3 selectable while spinning the jog wheel.

7. The time display doesn't go off when reversing the jog wheel at the start of track 1.

8. TT-M1 operation update

b) Speedy searching with FF/REW buttons
c) CD ejects
