Devices & File Analysis

All PRIME hardware can play music files from USB drives, SD cards, or other connected PRIME media players. Make

sure you are using only the supported file systems (for USB drives or SD cards) and file formats (for music files) listed

below.

Supported file systems:exFAT (recommended), FAT32

Supported file formats:

AC/M4A

IF/AIFF (44.1–192 kHz, 16–32-bit)

LAC

FLAC

MP3 (32–320 kbps)

MP4

Ogg Vorbis

WAV (44.1–192 kHz, 16–32-bit)

Although PRIME hardware can play tracks that have not been analyzed yet, pre-analyzing them allows its features to

work most effectively. You can analyze tracks in one of two ways:

•On PRIME hardware, load the track: When you load a track to play, the PRIME hardware will automatically

analyze it (if it has not already been analyzed). This may take a moment to complete, depending on the

length of the track. You can start playing the track from the beginning immediately, though you will need to

wait a moment for the analysis to finish.

•Use Engine DJ software: The included Engine DJ software can pre-analyze your music library to use with

your PRIME hardware. You can also use it to organize your library by creating playlists. It also manages your

PRIME hardware preferences (see Operation to learn more about this).

Visit enginedj.com/downloads to download the Engine DJ software.

To eject a USB drive or SD card:

1. Make sure none of its tracks are being played on any connected PRIME media players. Ejecting a device unloads

its tracks from all networked PRIME media players.

2. Press Eject, or open the Source menu. A list of connected devices will appear in the main display.

3. Tap the eject icon for the device you would like to eject. If a track on the device is currently playing, you will be

asked if you want to continue ejecting, which will stop the track and clear the deck. Tap Cancel to cancel

ejecting the device, or tap Eject Anyway to eject it.

To eject additional devices, repeat Step 3.

To return to the previous screen, press Eject again, or tap the Xin the upper-right corner.

Configuration

PRIME hardware has several settings that you can customize in the User Profile and Settings menus. See Control

Center to learn about these settings.

9. Channel Level: Turn this knob to adjust the level of the pre-fader,

pre-EQ audio signal for the channel.

10. Channel Level Meters: These LEDs display the audio signal level of

the channel.

11. Channel EQ: Turn these knobs to boost or cut the high, mid-range,

together. You can swap the left/right position of these channels in

21. Sweep FX Buttons: Press one of these buttons to enable or disable

signal, or turn it to its most clockwise (maximum) position to

apply a 1/2-beat echo.

22. Platter: This capacitive, touch-sensitive platter controls the audio

playhead when the wheel is touched and moved. When the Vinyl

button is on, move the platter to “scratch” the track as you would with

a vinyl record. When the Vinyl button is off (or if you are touching only

make sure the track is paused, move the platter to place the audio

playhead at the desired location, and then press this button.) If the

deck is paused, press and hold this button to temporarily play the

track from the initial cue point. Release the button to return the track

to the initial cue point and pause it. To continue playback without

returning to the initial cue point, press and hold this button and then

as you would with a vinyl record.

You can adjust its total range with the Pitch Bend buttons.

When you select another Deck with the Deck select buttons, the

position of the Pitch Fader may not match the Pitch setting for the

previous Deck. Slowly move the Pitch Fader in the direction indicated

by the green takeover LED arrow until it turns off. At this point, the

Pitch Fader matches the Pitch setting of the previous deck and can

control it again.

33. Pitch Bend –/+: Press and hold one of these buttons to momentarily

reduce or increase (respectively) the speed of the track.

Press and hold Shift and then press one of these buttons to set the

editing is disabled to manually adjust cue/loop point locations left or

right using the touchscreen controls.

had been playing forward the whole time).

38. Censor /Reverse: Press this button to activate/deactivate the Censor feature: the playback of the track will be

reversed, but when you release the button, normal playback will resume from where it would have been if you

had never engaged the Censor feature (i.e., as if the track had been playing forward the whole time).
