Loading And Saving The Crate - Numark HDMIX Guide D'utilisation

The order of the crate is significant to HDMIX only in continuous play modes (see "Track Loading"
section). However, you may choose to maintain a play order as an aid to organizing your set. To move a
track in the crate first highlight it then press the Push Select knob. Rotate to move the track through the list
to its new position and press again or select Done to complete the operation. To drop the track back at its
original position select Undo. If you are using a keyboard the same operation may be achieved by
pressing the Return key on the highlighted track and using the arrow keys to select its new location.
Pressing Return again will put the selected track at this location. Note that a track pulled from a deck is
always sent to the top of the crate whereas tracks sent from the library always go to the bottom.
The Clear operation, which completely empties the crate, prompts for confirmation as it could be a little
inconvenient to do this by mistake during a performance!

LOADING AND SAVING THE CRATE

The crate is stored automatically within the library from which its tracks have been sent. Each time a
library is loaded HDMIX checks whether it previously had tracks in the crate and, if so, offers the option to
restore them.
Select Merge them into the crate to restore a previous
crate in its original order, if the same devices are
attached to the HDMIX.
Select Put them at the top of the crate to place the
tracks at the top of the crate list.
Select Put them at the end of the crate to put the tracks
at the bottom of the list.
Select Ignore to discard them. Once you have selected Ignore the crate data is lost forever (of course the
tracks are still in the library and can be sent to the crate all over again).
You may be wondering what happens if your crate contains tracks from multiple libraries. In this case
parts of the crate are stored within each library. To fully restore the crate, all of the libraries must be
reloaded by making sure that all the devices used are connected to the HDMIX. If one library is not
connected, or should you choose to ignore the crate for that library, a partial crate will be restored from the
other libraries. HDMIX will attempt to recreate the crate in the original order, even if the libraries are
loaded in no particular order. If this all sounds a little confusing then rest assured that, in brief, HDMIX will
simply try to do the most logical thing!
It is intended that the crate is a somewhat short term entity by nature. If you want to save a more
permanent running order you should consider using playlists which can easily be sent to the crate in one
operation (see "Working With Playlists").
