Internal 24-Bit Processing & USB Audio-(sound card)

Unlike most dedicated DJ midi controllers that are only USB bus powered, the

DN-S3700 encompasses its own internal power supply to achieve the highest

electrical specifications, resulting in best possible audio performance. The

DN-S3700 features industry leading Burr Brown (a product of TI) 24 bit DAC

processing for superior output audio fidelity. USB Audio interface includes

2-Channel Stereo output pair, 44.1kHz sampling range and low latency

ASIO / OSX Core Audio support.

5 Superb Built-in DSP Effects

Building the mood, adding energy and remixing live for your thumping dance

floor has never been so easy with our crystal clear on-board DSP effects.

Easily activate and have full parameter adjustments with a unique Dry/Wet

mix control of the BPM sync’d effects: Flanger, Filter-(High-Mid-Low),

Echo, and our exclusive Echo Loop.

Waveform Display w/ Multi-line Text & Icon Support

Another unique quality of the DN-S3700 is its informative & animated FL

tube display mounted elegantly at a proper angle for best visualization.

The “Waveform” function is a representation of the audio signal pattern,

which indicates various energy peaks within the music file. Additionally,

a world’s first “Break-point” area can be pre-determined and viewed on

the S3700 display. Both the waveform and breakpoint data can be set

when using external USB devices by using our included Denon DJ Music

Manager PC application. A visual 32-position Marker Point indicator

follows your hand movements at lighting speeds without drift. Other

indicators include Looping, Hot Starts, BPM info, Elapsed/Remain Time,

MP3/WAV file types, and other useable indicators.

Only FAT, FAT16, FAT32 file formatted USB devices are supported by the player.

Hot Starts / Auto Loop / Manual Loop

Hot Starts

Up to 3 Hot Starts can be made on the fly during the Hot Start mode. Each

Hot Start can be easily replaced with new Hot Start points by using the

individual clear buttons found right above the Hot Start keys. This allows

for creative remixing with the least amount of steps. Hot Start MEMO data

can be stored to internal memory for CD’s or directly to the file when using

external USB devices. Visual icons are used for each Hot Start point within

the display area.

Auto Loop

The Auto Loop function is a BPM assisted looping system, which allows the

DJ to create up to 3 independent seamless loops instantly with the option to

EXIT the loop or clear the loop at any point. Each auto loop can be cut or doubled

in length on the fly by turning the Effects/Loop Cut knob to the beat range listed below:

⅛ ◄ ► ¼ ◄ ►½ ◄ ►1 ◄ ► 2 ◄ ►4 ◄ ►8 ◄ ►16 ◄ ►32 ◄ ►64

Visual icons are used for each Auto Loop point within the display area.

Additionally, the Auto Loop can be trimmed on the fly by frame accurate resolution

using the ± Loop Trim buttons. The Denon DJ Music Manager application

includes a very accurate BPM engine which calculates and writes the BPM

directly to the file on external USB devices. This allows the DN-S3700 to load

perfectly locked BPM values leading to super accurate Auto Beat Loops.

*BPM’s can also be saved for audio CD’s and MP3 CD-ROM’s from the

DN-S3700 using the MEMO function

Manual Loop

Besides the Auto Loop function, you are still able to create your own manual

loops on the other side of the player by setting the “A”(in) and “B”(out) points

freely, with the option to EXIT and Reloop. To smooth out your loop, the A or

B point can be easily adjusted on-the-fly to perfection. The “A” point can also

be used alone as a Hot Start or Stutter point.

3 Platter Effects

- Brake (adjustable in real-time) – Dump (reverse sound without losing true

forward time, like a radio edit) – Reverse (plays your music backwards and

platter spins backwards too)

Deep Pitch Resolution & Key Adjust

For those DJ’s who perform long mix transitions and require high pitch

resolution, the S3700 offers .02% for the ±6% pitch range, .05% for the

±10/16% pitch range and wide ±100% range is also available for audio

CDs. The Key Adjust feature keeps vocals and music sounding true even

when you adjust the speed of the track

*Features 100mm long stroke pitch slider for smooth mixing

Memo function

Hot Starts, Auto Loops, Seamless Loop, Cue point, BPM, Pitch Setting &

Range, Pitch ON/OFF, and Key Adj ON/OFF data can be stored to internal

memory for CD’s/CD-ROM media or directly to the file when using external

USB devices.

The powerful Playlist function allows you to search and select 3 different

types of Playlist categories when using external USB devices. Top 40,

Favorite, & your own custom Playlist can be created by using the included

Denon DJ Music Manager PC application

Two Way CUE Search System

You can search for your next file by 9 different criteria’s (without interrupting playback)

and crossfade seamlessly to that file for a smooth non-stop segue upon your command.

* Cross fade time is user adjustable

Strobe Indicator

You can check the relative change in tempo when the red strobe light reflects

on the three rows of strobe dots on the peripheral edge of the platter when rotating.

Platter Mode Functions

4-Way BPM Counter

BPM Metadata (if available)

Directional Scratch Lever

This original Denon feature allows the DJs to manipulate the platter’s motion of

output sound in two ways, the traditional vinyl cueing sound, called “BOTH” and

the ingenious Forward stroke sound to perform the same cuts as if you were

using a mixer’s crossfader.

3-way Pitch Bend

Platter Bend mode, Bend buttons or by the traditional old-school way of applying

finger pressure along side the spinning platter or by squeezing the center nipple.

Fast Search / Quick Jump

We made searching fast & easy. You can move around quickly within a track/file

by pushing the standard << >> keys or by precise user adjustable increment

time steps using Quick Jump.

Memo Import/Export

You can now easily import/export your CD Memo data from one player to

another by using a USB thumb drive. Extremely handy for those who travel

abroad without their S3700’s, but wish to take all their saved work along,

Loops, Hot Start and Cues.

D-Link

Two DN-S3700 players can be linked together by a RJ45 (CAT5, 5e)

cross-cover cable for D-LINK operation. This EASY operation enables the

DJ to share CD MEMO’s between both decks, Relay Play operation and the

convenience of using a single PS/2 keyboard for quick file navigation when

using external USB devices.
