Unlike most dedicated DJ midi controllers that are only USB bus powered, the DNS3700 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.

Waveform Display with 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.

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:

1/81/41/21248163264

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 valuesleading to super accurate Auto Beat Loops.

*BPM’s can also be saved to 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 Startor Stutter point.

i bought a pair of 3700's the other day. I couldn't justify the extra money for rekord box and slip mode.

this all means extra $$ to spend on tunes, which is the whole reason we're into this shit right?

[Jaz]

so let me get this straight, these are essentially fully digital vinyl turntables? i meen this is the closest you can get to vinyl tables other then actually vinyl decks?

looks good

Whats your review lloydc?

[lloydc]

correct.

my review is, they are great and they do just about everything. If you are planning on using flash drives or USB drives, i would buy 900's instead because rekordbox kicks the shit out of denons music manager.

other than that they are great CD players, they work great as a controller (especially in virtual DJ). The only shit thing that annoyed me about these players was that it won't show wave forms for cds, only for mp3s scanned in music manager (which only runs on windows)

put these things in hybrid mode, and use them with a DVS (especially serato) and you have one of the best decks on the market.

[Jaz]

cheers mate, they sound pretty good, might keep an eye out for a cheapie

[pulsebeat]

TBH if i had the cash i would get one of these and a cdj 900....

[legunner]

these look heaps good
