BPM COUNTING Automatic Mode BPM Counting This function automatically counts the track’s speed in BPM (Beats Per Minute), displaying the results as a numerical value. The functions does not merely count the bass beat, but uses a computer to calculate the track’s original BPM required by the DJ. The display provides a visual standard in addition to the human ear, thus allowing the DJ to quickly match two tracks possessing differing speeds.
FADER OPERATIONS Adjusting Fader Lever Operating Sensation BANK 1 NORMAL BANK 3 FX ADJ. Press FADER CURVE/BANK EDIT button. BANK 2 BANK 3 CF 1 NORMAL The supplied hexagonal Allen driver can be used to adjust the hexagonal Allen screw located next to the top panel’s cross fader slider opening, thus modifying the sliding resistance of the lever. Rotate the screw clockwise to increase sliding resistance and counterclockwise to reduce resistance.
FADER OPERATIONS Cross fader start play and back cue play When the CH-1 CD player is held in standby at the cue point, merely moving the cross fader lever from the right (CH-2) side to the left (CH-1) side will cause the CH-1 CD player to begin playback. When the cross fader lever reaches the left (CH-1) side, CH-2 CD player performs back cue (returns to its cue point).
EFFECT FUNCTIONS Types of Effects This unit is equipped with a beat effector linked to the BPM, and fader effector linked to the channel or cross fader, producing a total of 50 basic effects, but an even wider variety of effects can be produced by varying the parameters of each effect. Beat Effector (effects linked to BPM) Name Function FX ADJ. Parameter (touch panel) 1 DELAY (*1) In time with BPM, outputs repeat sound once. Set delay time of 1/8 to 8/1 of each beat of BPM.
EFFECT FUNCTIONS Name Function FX ADJ. Parameter (touch panel) 22 CHORUS1 Produces broadened musical effect resembling the production of same pitch sounds from multiple sources. Set period of chorus wavers based on beats calculated from BPM. 23 CHORUS2 Produces even broader musical effect than CHORUS1. Set period of chorus wavers based on beats calculated from BPM. 24 CHORUS3 Changes degree of waver in chorus sound.
EFFECT FUNCTIONS Fader Effector (effects linked to channel or cross fader) Name Function FX ADJ. Parameter (touch panel) 36 FADER ROLL (*2) EFFECT switch turn ON or fader position is used as trigger to record input sound, and then output the sound repeatedly within range of 1/1 to 1/16 beat. Select either channel fader or cross fader. Set base ROLL time to 1/2, 1/1, or 2/1. 37 FADER MULTI TAP DELAY (*1) At preset intervals repeat sound is output at 1/1 to 1/16 beat set with fader.
EFFECT FUNCTIONS Using the Effect Functions The basic procedures is as follows: [Select effect type] = [Set parameters (while monitoring through headphones] =[Set EFFECT switch to ON]. Below are examples of this basic operation procedure; other effects are produced in much the same way: [Example 1] Apply delay to CH-1 track: 1. Touch the touch panel’s CH-1 (left side) DELAY button (select effect type).
EFFECT FUNCTIONS Presetting Effects Of the effects displayed on the touch panel’s main page (effect type menu), three types can be set for each channel CH-1 and CH-2 in the BANK buttons (1/2/3). The preset effects can then be called up at a single touch. BANK 1 BANK 1 BANK 2 1. Select the channel (CH-1/CH-2) whose preset value you wish to change.
EFFECT FUNCTIONS Effect Parameters The 50 built-in effects can be modified by parameters for time and amount to produce a wider variety of effects. Operate the TIME/ SELECT dial to adjust time parameters (parameter 1), and use the MIX/DEPTH dial to adjust amount parameters (parameter 2). Also with fader effects, the position of the fader lever can be used to produce changes resulting in an even wider range of effects. 7 Beat effects Parameter 1 (TIME/SELECT dial) No.
EFFECT FUNCTIONS Parameter 1 (TIME/SELECT dial) No. Name Explanation Parameter 2 (MIX/DEPTH dial) Explanation Setting range (unit) 27 PHASER1 Set period of phase effect frequency shift. 10 – 32000 (msec) Rotate to right for stronger effect. 28 PHASER2 Set period of phase effect frequency shift. 10 – 32000 (msec) Rotate to right for stronger effect. 29 TOUCH PHASER1 Set sensitivity corresponding to input volume. 1 – 100 (%) Rotate to right for stronger effect.
EFFECT FUNCTIONS Parameter 1 (TIME/SELECT dial) Name No. Explanation Setting range (unit) Parameter 2 (MIX/DEPTH dial) Fader lever Explanation Explanation 46 FADER FLANGER — — Rotate to right for increased effect. Changes frequency band subject to flange effect. 47 FADER PHASER — — Rotate to right for increased effect. Changes frequency band subject to phase effect.
