CDR-07 Tabletop CD Recorder / Scratch Player

Dissemination of computers has brought digital recording on CDs and DVDs to a standard level today. On the other hand, recording from analog to digital still has many difficulties with the set up noise, and low sound quality.

The Vestax CDR-07 can record any kind of music and sound to CDs, with the world's most diffused digital media, using only one cable in real time and with DJ beloved features such as +/-100% tempo control, master tempo, scratch mode, cue mode, sampler, MP3 readable and built-in effects. Play, record and copy, all in one to enjoy and create music on the go.

Enhanced Input and Output section
The analog input/output section comes with variable connections. Simply plug in your mic, electric guitar, bass guitar, turntable, CD player or cassette deck directly into MIC/INST or PHONO/LINE input and record. Output comes with MONITOR OUT and headphone connections to monitor the analog input sound, apart from the normal LINE OUT.

CDR-07s digital connections come with COAXIAL digital input/output (IEC60958 TYPE II) and DIGITAL THROUGH OUT.
This output not only sends out the digital input, but converts analog to digital allowing you to record with other digital devices at the same time.

Multi Track numbering system
This system enables DJs and musicians to number tracks during non-stop remixes and live performances.
Auto track mode can select 2 ways to number tracks. Auto level mode, which numbers tracks automatically by searching the start point of the
track and incriminating the number, and Time stamp mode which numbers tracks automatically at a set time.
Another option for those who would like to number tracks at their preference point would be via a foot switch that can be used to set the number while you're playing.

Recorder Section
The newly designed CD record mechanism has been upgraded to a more specific device for music sources, loaded with a 24bit A/D/A converter, which makes the CDR-07 more advanced and reliable than a normal data writer. Reads and plays CD-R, CD-R-DA, CD-RW and CD-RW-DA.
The rewrite section allows users to erase the whole disc or only the following tracks after the selected one and also un-finalizes discs
with its un-finalize function for free music production.

Player Section
Back cue, pitch bend and scratch with the touch switch JOG wheel. If you want specific nuances and control for scratching, connect TASCAM's TT-M1 to the TT-LINK on the rear panel and attach it to PDX turntable. You will have full control of the sound source and the CD with the turntable, like you always do with vinyl.

Pitch Control & Independent key control
Pitch ranges are selectable from (0, +/-6, 10,50, 100%), equipped with a 100mm stroke pitch fader for fine adjustments and long mixes.
The JOG wheel has +/-10% key control that allows you to adjust the sound in the mix, and to give vocal sounds a harmonized effect.

Master Tempo
Master Tempo changes the tempo of the track with out changing the tune, in a speed range of +/-6,10 and 50%.

Master tempo can also be used directly record from instruments and mics to make training tracks.

Disc Memory
A feature beloved by mobile DJs that saves up to 100 tracks worth of track lists, CUE points and LOOP points. The data recalls instantly when the same CD is played again. (Savable Data: DISC ID, CUE points, LOOP points, BRAKE, Master tempo, Play mode and TAP)

Sampler
Maximum of 8 seconds sampling, with ability to layer the sound over the current playing track.
CDs can be changed without fading the outro, by using the sampling loop function.

Cue point
4 cue points can be set out via 2 means of selection (last start position or pause position).
CUE 1,2,3 can be played instantly with the CUE play mode, just like using a sampler.

Sound
VESTAX has developed a new CD filter with its knowledge of analog records.
This new filter creates the warmth of vinyl with a phat and deep sound, keeping specific sound qualities even when, it's used with kW grade SR systems.

MP3
MP3 readable with the 320kbps MP3 encoder. Features such as scratching, sampling, looping and pitch controlling that were once only a computers job, is now operational with the CDR-07.

Digital effector and BPM counter
Flanger, Filter and Digital Delay (max 3.5sec) effects built in. With EFFECT SYNC, the auto BPM counter counts the BPM and synchronizes the effects to the beat.
