CMP.800

Stanton CMP.800

Best CD Player / 27th ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL DANCE MUSIC AWARDS NOMINEE, March 22, 2012 Miami Beach

The CMP.800 Cross-Media Player provides all the features needed for today's technology-minded DJ. Providing a newly designed high-resolution Jog wheel with Multi-style, illuminated position indicator, CD & Mass-Storage Device playback, built-in sampler, hot-cues, loops beat-synchronized FX and full MIDI control, the Stanton CMP.800 is a true high performance DJ cross-media player at an unbelievable price point that won't break the bank.

Multi-Format Playback

The CMP.800 builds on existing CD and CD-MP3 playback functionality by including the ability to playback MP3's stored on external USB thumb drives and hard drives. The "ChainLink" feature allows you to connect two CMP.800s via a single USB cable to share a single external USB mass storage device between the two players. This way, DJs don't have to manage multiple storage devices, and can show up to the party with only a single Mass Storage device. The included "Media Wallet" software, allows you to sort and prepare their media for playback, creating playlists and organizing their songs on your computer before a gig.

Full MIDI Control

The CMP.800 also performs as a fully-functional MIDI controller allowing you to control applications (such as Native Instrument's Traktor and Mixvibes Cross) with full assignment of virtually every button and knob on the top panel as well as Deck A/B assignment.

Auto Beat Loop

The CMP.800 includes both traditional Manually-Controlled Loops and BPM-Controlled Auto Beat Loop functionality, with 6 different loop lengths. Loop length can be adjusted during playback allowing you to create unique mixes and stutter effects.

Multi-Function Jog Wheel with Illuminated Jog Ring

The CMP.800 features a high resolution, touch-sensitive illuminated platter wheel for easy viewing of cue points and speed, with 9 different LED modes. The CMP.800 platter can even control functions such as pitch bending, loop end point, scanning, frame searching, parameter control for effects, and pitch/volume control for sampling.

3 Beat-Syncable DSP Effects

The CMP.800 provides 3 high-quality DSP effects, derived from our award-winning M.207 mixer, including ECHO, FLANGER, and FILTER with 2 control parameters per effect.

Hot Cues and Loops

The CMP.800 can store up to 4 Hot Cues per song, with an internal memory of 2048 cue points for audio CD's and MP3 CD's. Also, Hot Cues can be stored on your USB Mass-Storage device for expandable and virtually unlimited Cue and loop storage.

4-Bank Sampler

For even more creative remix possibilities, the CMP.800 lets DJs store four 5-second samples on the unit that can be played simultaneously with your currently playing track (CD or MP3). Sample playback is controlled from the 4 rugged rubber trigger pads on the front of the unit, and have available pitch and volume control for mixing the samples with currently playing material.

DJ Billy Gotti

“The CMP.800 has been nothing but a great addition to my set up! I am mainly a turntablist and have used my STR8.150's since the day I have gotten them but after picking up my CMP.800's I have barely been able to stop using them. They are super compact and easy to move if need be. Also there are so many options and effects and cool little extras unlike some of the other CD players out there. A few of my favorites are the red light that spins on top of the platter just as a turntable spins so it catches your eye and allows you to focus on what you are doing and not having to guess where the CD or MP3 is actually playing. The built in effects (echo, flanger, filter) system is outrageous! Being able to change the sound live right from the actual player is sick and also changing the time and ratio on them is great! Very simple and easy to use! The sample bank is key to being able to shoot off different samples. And finally, being able to LINK both CMP.800's together by a USB cord is unbelievable because all I need is one USB flash drive and then I can link them to get all my music from one stick on both CMP.800's!”

Digital DJ Tips

“A pair of Stanton CMP.800s gives an awful lot of DJing flexibility for less than half the price of one Pioneer CDJ-2000.”

Read Review Juno Plus / Junodownload.com

“The CMP 800 is much quicker at reading the USB devices than some of the market alternatives, and toggling between the media sources is very snappy”

Moving downwards, the effects section has trigger buttons for echo, flanger and filter, which can be used in combinations of two and synced in time. These sound pretty convincing – they are modelled on the M.207 mixer – and would easily hold their ground against the Itch and Traktor native effects.
