Rane TTM56 Operator's Manual

Quick Start
Congratulations! You are the proud owner of an exceptional
performance instrument. Experienced turntablists will find the
TTM 56 comfortable and familiar. The TTM 56 has many unique
features which are mastered quicker if you read the manual.
Right! We know you can't resist jumping right in, but please read
at least this portion of the manual. It will help you get a good
start.
About the Faders: The Channel Faders and Crossfader are
magnetic, non-contact Faders. This means No travel noise – No
bleed – Ever! The electrical performance of the Faders is unaf-
fected by use. Old habits are hard to break, but you really don't
have to mess with the Faders. The magnetic Faders in this mixer
are very different from what you are used to. Be sure and read the
Q and A section on page Manual-10.
Special Features:
• Channel Fader MODE switches allow selecting two sets of
curves:
MODE 1 gives the familiar stereo fader response.
MODE 2 gives a left/right pan effect.
• Both curves allow continuous adjustment of CONTOUR,
giving smooth blend or fast cut.
• The CHANNEL REVERSE switch allows the left-hand or
right-hand Fader to control PGM 1 or PGM 2.
• The CROSSFADER MODE switch allows selecting two sets
of curves:
MODE 1 gives the familiar PGM 1 to PGM 2 cross-fade response.
MODE 2 gives a center cut response (PGM 1 and PGM 2 are off in the center).
• Independent CONTOUR controls for each side of the Crossfader allow cut on one side and blending on the other (or any
combination).
• Auxiliary Inputs and Outputs, with independent level controls, give session mixing ability.
AUX Inputs may be used for drum machine, tape, etc.
AUX Input is after the Crossfader and after the Effects loop.
AUX Outputs may be used for recording, booth monitoring, or a second zone.
AUX Output is the same as the Master Mix.
• FlexFX™ allow assignment of PGM 1, PGM 2 or both to the effects loop. The effects loop is post-fader. You get great results
when using the Channel Faders or Crossfader with reverb or other delay effects. WET/DRY pan lets you control how much
effect is in the mix.
• Three-band Accelerated-Slope™ EQ allows full cut of each band. The EQ engage switch lets you A/B compare or quickly
transform the EQ effect.
• Two, 10-segment meters provide dual-mono-Cue or stereo-Master operation.
• Yes, we included a power switch on the rear.
The flexibility of the TTM 56 Faders can result in some initial confusion. We highly recommend trying one thing at a time.
This helps avoid initial confusion. Make sure the Channel reverse switch is off. Start by changing the Mode and Contour of each
fader, one at a time. See the diagrams on pages Manual-6-7 to understand the fader responses under different settings. Once you
understand the controls, start creating!
