Now mixing between CD (mp3) tracks and vinyl tracks is even easier.

The VESTAX CDX-05 also has an amazing array of features designed for DJ use. Total pitch adjustment, up to +/- 100%, allows any tracks and styles to be mixed, and with a high quality master tempo function the sound quality does not deteriorate, even at the pitch extremes. MP3 data can be read as can cd-rw, discs for convenient use of home made recordings. Seamless loops can be created, with a separate 8-second sampler and multiple beatsyncable effects, mixes can be made even more exciting and creative than ever. The added inclusion of the TT® accessory socket will also allow dj's to control the basic cd functions via any turntable simply by adding the Tascam accessory wheel.

In addition to reading both CD-R/RW and MP3 files, this front-loading player was designed to give professional DJs the realistic feel of scratching, braking or back spinning vinyl. It also offers features for DJs looking to integrate CDs and vinyl in their performance.

Performance functions include: Master Tempo, which allows the DJ to change the BPM without changing the song's key; BPM counter; beat sync for effects; adjustable pitch control (+/-6, 10, 50, 100%); three hot cue points with disc memory; Sampling via a dedicated eight second sampler; seamless loop; plus a built-in, adjustable DJ FX section offering Flanger/Delay/Filter effects.
