The Behringer CMD MM1 and the CMD PL-1 are two MIDI controllers that come with Deckadance
LE DJ software.
We will go over the physical features of each of these controllers and then show you how
they integrate with Deckadance.
Both the CMD MM-1 and the CMD PL-1 follow the same construction design as the other
controllers in the CMD line.
All the buttons, knobs, and faders are plastic, and the surface of the controller, including
the jog wheel on the PL-1 have a brushed metal finish.
The CMD MM-1 is a four channel mixer with 60 mm channel faders and a 45 mm crossfader.
Each channel has its own controls for cueing.
The EQ section has controls for a 3 band eq as well as a dedicated filter control.
At the top are your controls for your main output as well as controls for controlling
the level of your headphone cue volume and mix.
In the middle of the volume controls are your browse controls with a knob and left, right
buttons for navigating menus.
And in the middle you have LED lights to show your main output.
On the back of the MM-1 you have your USB connection, a connection for a power supply,
and a four port USB hub for connecting other MIDI controllers.
The CMD PL-1 is a standard transport controller with a 4inch jog wheel.....and selections
for cue, play/pause, and sync.
You also have controls for a tap tempo, pitch bend, as well as the ability to skip forwards
and backwards within a track.
Above the Jog wheel are your selections for scratch mode as well as your deck select.
At the top you have 8 endless rotary encoders that have LED illumination.
Below that are a set of 8 hot cues that are assignable to each of the 4 available decks.
While we are using the included Deckadance software, you can map every Behringer CMD
controller to whatever software you choose including Ableton, Serato DJ, Traktor Pro,
and Virtual DJ pro.
All of your EQ controls for all 4 decks are accessible with the CMD MM-1.
Here you can see the hi's mid's and low's, as well as the dedicated filter
knob all being controlled inside of Deckadance.
You can also control the Output volume, headphone volume, and headphone cue volume from the
CMD MM-1 and see those being controlled within Deckadance.
The CMD PL-1, as we mentioned, has all of the standard transport controls.
But you also have controls for setting up your hot cues.
You can set up 8 hot cues per deck.
As with the CMD Studio 4a, you can scratch when scratch mode is enabled and use the jog
wheels as a pitch bend when it is disabled.
You can also control the pitch with the pitch bend buttons, as well as the pitch bend fader.
At the top where your 8 endless rotary encoders rest, you have controls for your FX and loops.
You can turn your FX on and off by pushing down on the corresponding encoder.
Then using that same encoder you can control the parameters of that effect.
You can also set up loops with the encoders.
When you push down your set loop will appear and you can adjust the length of that loop
by rotating the encoder.
