Although Prime 4 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 4, load the track: When you load a track to play, Prime 4 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 Prime software: The included Engine Prime software can pre-analyze your music library to use

with Prime 4. You can also use it to organize your library by creating crates and playlists. It also manages

your Prime 4 hardware preferences (see Operation to learn more about this).

Visit denondj.com/downloads and find the webpage for Prime 4 to download the Engine Prime software.

To eject a USB drive or SD card:

1. Make sure none of its tracks are being played on any connected Prime 4 units.

Ejecting a device unloads its tracks from all networked Prime 4 units.

2. Press Eject. 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 4 has several settings that you can customize in the Utility (basic settings) and Preferences (advanced settings)

menus. See Operation >Menu to learn about these settings.

1. Touchscreen: This full-color multi-touch display shows information relevant to Prime 4's current operation.

Touch the touchscreen (and use the hardware controls) to control the Prime 4 interface. See Operation >

Touchscreen Overview for more information.

Tip: If you adjust the angle of the touchscreen, use the stand on its back panel to secure it in place.

2. Browse Knob: Turn this knob to navigate through lists. Press the knob to move

forward in the touchscreen or select an item.

3. Back: Press this button to move back in the touchscreen.

4. Forward (FWD): Press this button to move forward in the touchscreen.

5. Load : Press this button to load the selected track to Deck 1 or Deck 3.

6. Load : Press this button to load the selected track to Deck 2 or Deck 4.

7. View: Press this button to cycle between the Library and Performance views. Press

and hold this button to show the Menu, which includes Source Selection, Record

Menu and the Utility/Preferences Menu. See Operation >Menu for more information.

8. Channel FX: Use these buttons to route audio from the

corresponding channel to the Effect 1 or 2 module.

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,

and low frequencies for the channel.

12. Sweep FX: Turn this knob to control the effect selected by the Sweep

FX buttons.

13. Channel Cue: Press this button to send the channel’s pre-fader

signal to the headphones’ cue channel.

14. Channel Fader: Use this fader to adjust the channel’s volume level.

15. Crossfader Assign: Routes the audio playing on the corresponding

channel to either side of the crossfader (Lor R), or bypasses the

crossfader and sends the audio directly to the program mix (center,

Thru).

16. Crossfader: Use this crossfader to mix between channels assigned

to the left and right sides of the crossfader.

17. Master Level Meters: These LEDs display the audio signal level of

the master mix (sent out of the Master Outputs).

18. Phones Mix: Adjusts the software’s audio output to the

headphones, mixing between the cue output and the master mix

output.

19. Phones Level: Adjusts the volume of the headphones.

20. Split Cue: When this switch is in the On position, the headphone

audio will be “split” such that all channels sent to cue channel are

summed to mono and sent to the left headphone channel and the

master mix is summed to mono and sent to the right channel. When

the switch is in the Off position, the cue channel and master mix will

be “blended” together.

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

an effect that you can control with the Sweep FX knobs. Only one

of these buttons can be enabled at a time.

•Filter: This effect applies a filter to the channel. Starting from the

center (12:00) position, turn a Sweep FX knob counter-clockwise

to apply a low-pass filter, or turn it clockwise to apply a high-pass

filter.

•Echo: This effect is a brief echo. Starting from the center (12:00)

position, turn a Sweep FX knob counter-clockwise to decrease

the length of the delay and increase the feedback, or turn it

clockwise to increase the length of the delay as well as the

feedback.

•Noise: This effect adds noise to the signal. Starting from the

center (12:00) position, turn a Sweep FX knob counter-

clockwise to add pink noise, or turn it clockwise to add white

noise.

•Wash Out: This creates a transition effect. Turn a Sweep FX

knob to its most counter-clockwise (minimum) position to apply

a 1-beat echo that will also mute the channel’s normal audio

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

the side of the platter), move the platter to temporarily adjust the

track’s speed.

23. Platter Display: This display shows track artwork and information

relevant to the performance, including the current playhead position,

the current auto loop size, or current layer. See Operation >Platter

Display Overview for more information.

24. Deck: Selects which deck in the software is controlled by that

hardware deck. The left deck can control Deck 1 or 3; the right deck

can control Deck 2 or 4.

Press and hold Shift and then press the Deck 3 or Deck 4 buttons to

switch between four-deck and two-deck operation.

25. Track Skip: Press either of these buttons to skip to the previous or

next track.

Press the Previous Track button in the middle of a track to return to

the beginning of the track.

26. Beat Jump: Press either of these buttons to skip backward or forward

through the track. Use the Auto Loop knob to determine the beat

jump size.

Press and hold Shift and then press one of these buttons to search

backward or forward through the track.

27. Sync /Sync Off: Press this button to activate sync.

Press and hold Shift and press this button to deactivate Sync. You can

also set Sync to deactivate without using Shift by changing the Sync

Button Action setting in the Preferences menu.

28. Cue /Track Start: During playback, press this button to return the

track to a temporary cue point. If you have not set a temporary cue

point, then press this button to return to the start of the track. (To set

a temporary cue point, make sure the track is paused, move the

platter to place the audio playhead at the desired location, and then

press this button.)

During playback, press and hold Shift and press this button to set the

cue point at the current playhead position.

If the deck is paused, press and hold this button to play the track from

the temporary cue point. Release the button to return the track to the

temporary cue point and pause it. To continue playback without

returning to the temporary cue point, press and hold this button and

then press and hold the Play button, and then release both buttons.

29. Play/Pause: This button pauses or resumes playback.

Press and hold Shift and then press this button to “stutter-play” the

track from the initial cue point.

30. Vinyl: Press this button to activate/deactivate a “vinyl mode” for the

platter. When activated, you can use the platter to “scratch” the track

as you would with a vinyl record.

31. Key Lock /Key Sync: Press this button to activate/deactivate Key

Lock. When Key Lock is activated, the track’s key will remain the

same (0%) even if you adjust its speed. Press and hold Shift and
