......................................................................................................40 INTRODUCTION DDS is a revolutionary DJ system, featuring a 3U rack-mountable dual-deck console. With a ground-breaking and easily accessible user interface, the plug and play design empowers the DJ to quickly find, organize and perform tracks from connected USB storage devices. Songs can be directed manually to decks or automatically played, jukebox-style. Powerful tools such as the Crate and Profile View offer a digital slant on traditional DJ methods. The Crate can be used to prepare and arrange your set in advance, during your performance or a mixture of both. The Profile View offers a fast visual cueing aid, much like looking at the grooves on a record, but better! The DDS Console
