Alcatech BPM Studio RCP 1001 + BPM Studio Pro 4

Alcatech BPM Studio RCP-1001 + BPM Studio Pro 4

The new RCP-1001 remote control has the look and feel of a conventional hardware dual CD player, and allows the control of many functions of the BPM Studio Pro 4 software remotely.

The modern design and the simple layout of the control surface encourages experimentation and expands the creative potential of the DJ.

The BPM Studio RCP Remote Controls revolutionize the digital MP3 music mixing process.

The remote control RCP-1001 - the "little" brother of the RCP-2001 series - comes with a conventional Pitch Slider!

The new 100mm, linear, highly precise, automatically calibrating ALPS-Slider is connected with 0.1% tuning increments in the VFD display for ultra-accurate manipulation of song tempo. Together with the two other remote controls in the RCP-2001 series - Pitch Wheel or Pitch Slider - ALCATech offers a customizable control solution for every DJ.

All of the respective parameters and the operation mode of the player are displayed In the VFD display:

· Number and title of the loaded track

· NEXT TRACK indicator - Shows title next to [NEXT TRACK] key

· Time display - playtime is shown in minutes, seconds and in tenths of seconds. Time information can be switched over by use of the [TIME] key between the   total play time (ELAPSED), remaining track play time (REMAIN) and total remaining play time (TOTAL).

· BPM-value indicator - here the BPM value taken from the ID3-Tag of the currently loaded song is displayed.

· Pitch value in percents

· Pitch mode - toggles between standard resample mode (Pitch Adjust) and time stretch/compress mode (Master-Tempo).

· Mode of the Jog Wheel

· Current position of the beam

· Title display - shows the current loaded song and the information from the MP3 file's ID3-Tag. The display scrolls automatically when the files cannot be   completely presented.

· Displays the four play modes: Single, Continuous Play, Shuffle and Repeat.

· Displays the Loop-Sampler

- Jog shuttle wheel

BPM Studio allows you to use the Jog shuttle wheel functions easily and ergonomically. The external ring and the internal disc are very responsive. If the ring is moved farther i.e. if the internal wheel is moved more quickly, the settings will change more quickly. You can adjust pitch during playback of the loaded title with the use of the wheel. You can move the loaded song forward/backwards using the external ring. According to the turn angle of the ring, there are 3 different search speeds available (+1, +2, +3 or -1, -2, -3) and step mode where you can skip around the song in 1 minute increments (+min or -min). If the player is in Pause mode or in Cue mode, then the Cue point can be set exactly using the internal disc. If the player is in play mode, then the title can be slowed down with the internal disc or accelerated by using Pitch Bend.

- Cue key

Pressing this key moves the player back to the last Cue-point and goes into Pause mode. Press the Cue key longer than one second and the player then moves to the beginning of the title or by pressing one second again will move it to the current Cue.

- Play key

Pressing this key starts the player from the current position (i.e. the Cue-point). If the Play button is pressed again, the player goes into Pause mode. The current start position of the player is stored as the Cue point and can be started again with [Cue] key any time.

- Pitch-Bend keys

Using these keys, you can temporarily increase or decrease the play speed. These keys are an indispensable tool for synchronizing the playback of tracks on both players.

- LOAD

By activating the LOAD key, the next title in the Playlist is put in the Player.

- Track Selector

You can move inside the playlist using the Track Selector. A full turn of the ring advances 24 titles down the list. If you navigate through really long lists, it is recommended that you do it through simultaneous pressing and turning of the button. By pressing the button, a title will be chosen and loaded in the player.

- Archive keys

With the button [ARCHIVE] the Jog Wheel is switched into the File Archive Mode. With another button you switch to the Playlist Archive Mode. By pressing the button again you switch back to the Search Mode.

- Time key

With this key you can switch between the 3 time modes: (ELAPSED) / (REMAIN) / (COMPLETELY).

- Mode key

With this key, you can switch between the 4 playback modes: Single, Continuous Play, Shuffle and Repeat.

- Continuous Play

If this mode is activated, the next title in the playlist will play automatically at the end of the current song

- Single Play

If this mode is activated, the next title in the playlist will be loaded but not played

- Shuffle

The playlist will be played in random order.

- Repeat:

If this function is active, then the playlist repeats indefinitely.

- Set key (also BPM Match key)

The current BPM value of the other player (Master) is overridden by pressing SET key in the standard mode. "Match Hold" enables the Pitch change of the Master Player to automatically adjust the pitch of the Slave Player.

- Tempo key

Press this key to change play speed without modification of pitch. TEMPO - LED indicates Master-Tempo function. It's important to note that when the Master Tempo function is disengaged, the pitch slider will affect the pitch of the track as usual.
