with a special curve designed for scratch mixing. Just purchase one

of these crossfader units from your Gemini dealer and follow these

instructions:

1. Unscrew the outside FADER PLATE SCREWS (B). Do

not touch the INSIDE SCREWS (C).

2. Carefully lift the fader and unplug the CABLE (D).

3. Plug the new fader into the cable and place it back in the

mixer.

4. Screw the fader to the mixer.

7. EQUALIZER SECTION: This unit features dual 7 band GRAPHIC

EQUALIZERS (8, 23) to allow you to adjust the sound for any room.

To activate the equalizer, press the EQ BUTTON (36) (the EQ LED

will light). By adjusting any of the 7 left equalizer slide controls (8),

you can cut or boost the tonal characteristics of the sound coming

from the left speaker by ±12 dB. By adjusting any of the 7 right

equalizer slide controls (23), you can cut or boost the tonal

characteristics of the sound coming from the right speaker by ±12

dB. Deactivate the equalizer by pressing the EQ BUTTON (36) again

(the EQ LED will turn off).

8. OUTPUT CONTROL SECTION: The level of the MAIN OUTPUT (43)

is controlled by the MASTER (25) slide. Activating the MONO (24)

button (the mono LED will light) makes the overall output mono. The

BOOTH (37) control adjusts the level of the BOOTH OUTPUT (44).

HINT: The BOOTH OUTPUT is used by some DJs to run monitor

speakers in their DJ Booth. You can also use it as a second ZONE or

AMP output.

NOTE: The REC OUTPUT (43) has no level control. The

level is set by the channel slides of the selected channel.

The tonal qualities can be controlled by the equalizers.

9. TALKOVER SECTION: The purpose of the talkover section is to

allow the program playing to be muted so that the mic can be heard

above the music. The MIC/TALKOVER SWITCH (7) controls MIC 1

and MIC 2 and has three settings. When the MIC/TALKOVER

SWITCH (7) is in the bottom position, MIC 1 and MIC 2 and talkover

are off. When the MIC/TALKOVER SWITCH (7) is in the center

position MIC 1 and MIC 2 are on, the MIC INDICATOR (6) will glow,

but talkover is off. When the MIC/TALKOVER SWITCH (7) is in the

top position, MIC 1 and MIC 2 and talkover will be on and the volume

of all sources except the Mic inputs are lowered by 16 dB. The

TREBLE (2) and BASS (3) controls allow you to fully adjust the tone

of MIC 1 and MIC 2. MIC 1 LEVEL (5) controls the level of MIC 1.

The MIC 2 LEVEL (4) controls the level of MIC 2.

10. CUE SECTION: By connecting a set of headphones to the

HEADPHONE (40) jack, you can monitor any or all of the channels.

Press the CUE/SAMPLE ASSIGN (21) buttons for channels 1 - 4 to

select the channel or channels to be monitored and their respective

LED indicators will glow. Press the CUE/SAMPLE ASSIGN (20)

button to monitor MIC 1 and MIC 2. The CUE/SAMPLE ASSIGN (20,

21) buttons are also used to assign samples (see Sampler Operation

for more details). Press the CUE SAMPLER (26) to monitor samples.

Use the CUE LEVEL (39) control to adjust the cue volume without

effecting the overall mix. By moving the CUE PGM PAN (38) control

to the left you will be able to monitor the assigned cue signal. Moving

the control to the right will monitor the PGM (program) output.

11. DISPLAY: The DISPLAY (22) indicates either the MASTER output

left and right levels.

Sampler Operation

GENERAL INFORMATION: The PDM-24s Sampler uses Dynamic RAM

memory and a 12 bit microprocessor controller. The full bandwidth

results in true sound reproduction.

MEMORY INFORMATION: The PDM-24s comes equipped with five

MEMORY BANKS (31). The two banks marked 2 & 2 are two seconds in

length, the two banks marked 4 & 4 are four seconds in length and the

bank marked 12 is twelve seconds in length. These banks are separate

and can not be linked. You can store a different sample in each bank but

they must be recorded individually and they must be played one at a time.

SAMPLE RECORDING:

1. Put the MODE SELECTOR (30) switch into the WRITE position.

2. Select the source you want to sample from by pressing the

appropriate CUE/SAMPLE ASSIGN (20, 21) button.

3. Select the memory bank you want to record into, by pressing the

proper MEMORY BANK (31) button.

4. The PDM-24s comes equipped with a sampler PITCH (28) control.

To get a perfect sample, set the control to its center position and

record the sample. During playback, raising or lowering the control

will raise or lower the pitch of the sample playback. The center

position will remain as normal pitch.

HINT: You can record a sample with the PITCH (28) control in any position.

Whatever that position is will become normal sound. If you start to record a sample

with the PITCH (28) control set at minimum (this now becomes your normal pitch),

by increasing the pitch to maximum, the pitch effect will double in speed. Recording

at maximum and lowering to minimum will do exactly the opposite.

5. Tapping the START/STOP (32) button begins the sampling process

(the SAMPLER INDICATOR will illuminate RED). Tapping the

START/STOP (32) button a second time ends the sample (the

SAMPLER INDICATOR will turn off). If you do not tap the START/

STOP (32) button a second time, the sampling process will stop

automatically after 2, 4 or 12 seconds depending on which MEMORY

BANK (31) was selected.

SAMPLE PLAYBACK:

1. Put the MODE SELECTOR (30) switch into the SINGLE or REPEAT

position.

2. Select the memory bank you wish to play by pressing the proper

MEMORY BANK (31) button.

3. Tapping the START/STOP (32) button with the MODE SELECTOR

(30) switch in the SINGLE position will cause the sampler to

playback one time (the SAMPLER INDICATOR will illuminate

GREEN). Every push of the START/STOP (32) button will restart the

sample from the beginning. Rapid pressing of the START/STOP (32)

button will cause a stuttering effect. Once the sample has started

playback and the START/STOP (32) button is not pushed a second

time, the sample will play to the end and then stop (the SAMPLER

INDICATOR will turn off).

4. Tapping the START/STOP (32) button with the MODE SELECTOR

(30) switch in the REPEAT position will cause the sample to

continuously play over and over (the SAMPLER INDICATOR will

illuminate GREEN). The START/STOP (32) button will act as an on/

off switch. The first push will start the sample, the second push will

stop it. The SAMPLER LEVEL (27) controls the level of the sample.

ROBO PLAY:

1. With the ROBO PLAY (29) button in the OFF POSITION (the ROBO

PLAY INDICATOR will be OFF) and the MODE SELECTOR (30)

switch in either the SINGLE or REPEAT mode, pressing the START/

STOP (32) button will cause the sample to play along with the

selected source.
