EFFECTS, LOOPS AND SAMPLES

An effect is a lter (or a combination of lters) which modies the sound: echo,

reverb... A loop is a part of a track whose beginning and end you dene, and which

is played repeatedly. A sample is a short sound which can be played on its own or in

conjunction with other samples, either over the music or in place of the music, and

can be played either as a loop, or just one time (this is known as a “jingle”).

7.1 Applying an eect on a track that is loaded and playing.

The order of the eects bar corresponds to the numbers of the pads.

Pad 1 = Eect 1, pad 2 = Eect 2, pad 3 = Eect 2, pad 4 = Eect 3.

7.3 Creating and playing a loop from a track

that is loaded and playing.

Press the button to light up the Eect

indicator.

Press the button to light up the Loop indicator.

When a track is playing, press pad 1 to create the start of the loop (or “loop in” point), and

then press pad 2 at the moment where you want to mark the end of the loop (or “loop

out” point).

Use the vertical lines in DJUCED™ (1 line = 1 beat), as well as the music being played,

to help you determine the best place for the end of the loop. In EZ (“easy”) mode, the

loop is created on an even (and not odd) number of beats.

DJUCED™ plays a part of the track as a loop. Press pad 2 to exit the loop and return to

normal playback.

Press pad 3 to divide the loop length in half, and pad 4 to double the length of the loop.

7.2 Playing a sample on a track that is loaded and

playing.

The pad’s number corresponds to a specic

sample.

Press the button to light up the Sample

indicator.

Press one or more pads to trigger the samples.

If the sample if played as a loop, press the pad

again to stop playback of the sample. If the

sample if not played as a loop (i.e. it is played

once, as a jingle), then the pad's backlighting

duration corresponds to the sample length:

short, for a short sound such as a drum

hit; longer, for a brief sample of music, for

example.

Press a pad to apply an eect, or multiple pads to apply

a combination of eects. The corresponding eect or

eects are displayed in DJUCED™
