THE GRAPHICAL INTERFACE

D2 Director boasts a ground breaking graphical interface, set to revolutionise your DJ experience. The
interface provides fast and friendly access to the advanced features of the product, and is designed to fit with
how you work. To make this possible, D2 Director is fully multitasking - you can instantly switch between
functions, and if one of them is busy for a while (perhaps building a new library) everything else remains
accessible.
In this section we'll explore the graphical interface, which takes no more than a few minutes to master, then
in later sections we can focus on the DJ features of D2 Director.
Switching On and Off
Use the power button in the top right corner of the D2 Director to switch on and off.
To switch on, press and release the power button. It will light up red and the D2 Director will start up. Take
care not to hold the power button down when switching on, as this will invoke Upgrader Mode (see "D2
Software Upgrades" section).
To switch off, press and hold the power button. A timer bar will appear on screen, filling from left to right as long as the
power button is held. The D2 Director will power off when the bar reaches the right hand side, which takes about three
seconds. This is to prevent accidental power down during a performance.
The Display
Central to D2 Director is the large graphical display. Some parts of this are dedicated to certain functions, while others
change depending on what you're doing.
Deck Displays
Playback information for each deck is always visible, no matter what you're doing. Here you can check what tracks are
cued, time information, pitch adjustment and other important data. See "Views" section for details.
