    Gemini drops the big one....



    CDT-05 Pro CD Turntable
    World?s first analog/digital hybrid turntable/CD player

    Since the advent of the CD format in the DJ realm, performance DJs have only dreamed of a solution that would combine the classic feel of a turntable with the ability to play both CDs and vinyl. With the release of the Gemini CDT-05, that dream has now become a reality, with the ability to play both vinyl, as well as to play CDs with the hands-on control of a full size direct drive platter. The CDT-05?s sturdy aluminum platter is driven by a CPU-controlled high-torque direct drive motor, perfectly suited towards vinyl playback or CD manipulation. In both analog (vinyl) and digital (CD) modes, DJs are provided with a variable pitch control, with selectable ranges of 4, 8, 16, or 50 percent, along with pitch bend function as well as master tempo. Additionally, 3 DSP effects (Filter, Zoom, and Echo) with variable parameter and a forward/reverse switch can be accessed in either mode. During CD playback, the CDT-05 affords 3 hot starts, frame accurate cue, and seamless loop, for ultimate flexibility in the digital domain. The motor can also be disengaged, for DJs that prefer CD decks with a passive, non-motor driven platter. Vinyl DJs will appreciate the removable, virtually unskippable straight tonearm system (sold separately) as well as the versatility of having an all-in-one unit to move forward with the digital revolution, while preserving the legacy of vinyl.

    I'm surprised it's taken someone this long to bring something like this out. Even more surprising is that the idea of combining vinyl and cd decks into one never even occured to me!

        but doesn't that negate the point of having the ability to play from vinyl AND CDs at the same time?

              still crap.

              Now that Gemini has done something like this everyone else will have to. But you never know, look how far other gimmicks have gotten in the past - Kaoss mixer, Vestax vinyl ripper. Where are they now?

                          I own two Gemini's...yes, they're crap. No matter from which angle you look at them or play them, they're crap.

                          They look like Tech 1210 MKII's...they might fool you for 5 seconds.

                          After Ghana, I will either get me two real MKII's or 2 Akiyama Acura's. Half the price, and just as good. Called a tech-killer. http://www.new-line.nl/webshop/view.asp?i=12641
