Quad

Quad is an open-architecture DVS (Digital Vinyl System) that can be used to play & scratch up to 4 MP3s simultaneously, controlled by 1 to 4 turntables. The turntables can be connected to any soundcard (ASIO driver required on PC); thanks to Quad's internal software Phono preamps it is even possible to connect the turntables to Line Inputs on the soundcard.

Features

Open architecture:

• Compatible with any soundcard (Windows: ASIO driver required).
• Software RIAA Phono pre-amplification allows connecting turntables directly to Line Inputs on the soundcard.
• Nearly every parameter is MIDI controllable.
• Totally configurable audio routing.
• Easy MIDI Learn.
• Compatible with nearly all MIDI Controllers on the market (accepts CC & Note On/Off MIDI messages).
• MIDI feedback for endless rotary MIDI controllers or motorized fader MIDI controllers.
• Resizable and completely user-configurable GUI: Channels may be shown/hidden, EQ/Filter/asf. may be shown/hidden.

Total control:

• 1-4 decks may be used to control 1-4 tracks (MP3s/WAVs).
• Custom Vinyl Tracking algorithm provides a near-analog scratch experience.
• Perfect tempo-synchronization of up to 4 tracks using SYNC.
• Powerful 1-deck support (one single turntable may be used to mix up to 4 tracks).
• Virtual Zero Lock Range makes pitch 0 really 0 and virtually eliminates the "resting point" at pitch 0 on old turntables.
• Recording the mix as .WAV during mixing is possible.
• Keyboard shortcuts allow using Quad without touching the mouse.
• Preview Player for fast pre-listening of tracks on Headphones.

Advanced sound processing:

• Fresh sounding filters (X-Filter, SVF).
• 3-band Equalizers with parametric mids from 100Hz to 10kHz.
• Tempo-matched FX (Flanger, Phaser, Echo, Delay, LFO Filter, ...).
• Tempo-matched Loop Samplers.
• Any audio material (real Vinyl / CDs / Mic / ...) may be routed from the soundcard's inputs into Quad for mixing and FX-processing.
• Crossfader with 3 curves.
• Support for VST plugins (Windows only at the moment).
• Look-ahead limiters on each ASIO output avoid audible audio distortions when signal becomes too hot.

Managing your tunes:

• New, improved browser.
• ID3 Tags are editable.
• Create cases of your favourite tunes and music styles.
• 4 assignable Cue Points per track.
