(adjustable range: –∞ to +9 dB, mid-position is about 0 dB) This switch allows the user to select from three types of cross fader curve response. ¶ At the left setting, the curve produces a rapid signal rise. (As soon as the cross fader lever leaves the [A] side, the [B] channel sound is produced.

MIXER OPERATIONS (FADER START FUNCTION) 7 Use the CROSS FADER curve switch to select the cross fader curve response. 4. At the instant you wish to start playback, move the channel fader lever. ¶ At the left setting, the curve produces a rapid signal rise. (As soon as the cross fader lever leaves the [A] side, the [B] channel sound is produced.) ¶ At the right setting, the curve operates to produce an even, neutral rise throughout the cross fader’s movement.
EFFECT FUNCTIONS (TYPES OF BEAT EFFECTS) EFFECT FUNCTIONS This unit can produce beat effects linked to the BPM, and sound-color effects linked to the COLOR dials provided for each channel, for a total of 18 basic effects (including [SND/RTN]). In addition, by changing the parameters for each kind of effect, an extremely wide range of effect variations can be produced.
EFFECT FUNCTIONS (TYPES OF BEAT EFFECTS) 6. FILTER 12. ROLL In units of 1/4, 1/2, 1/1, 2/1, 4/1, 8/1, 16/1, 32/1, or 64/1 beat, the filter frequency is moved, greatly changing the sound coloration. Sounds of 1/16, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1/1, 2/1, 4/1, 8/1, or 16/1 beat are recorded and output repetitively. Also, when sounds are changed from 1/1 beat to 1/2 or 1/4 in synch with the beat, a roll sound effect can be produced.

Press the AUTO/TAP button to set the Beats Per Minute (BPM = track speed) measuring mode. AUTO:The BPM of the input music signal is detected automatically. TAP: The BPM is input manually by tapping on the TAP button.
EFFECT FUNCTIONS (TYPE OF SOUND-COLOR EFFECT/USING SOUND-COLOR EFFECTS) TYPE OF SOUND-COLOR EFFECT USING SOUND-COLOR EFFECTS 1. HARMONIC Detects deviation of the input sound from absolute pitch and automatically compensates to the nearest key. By rotating the dial, the pitch/key can be adjusted within a range of ±6 half-tones. 1 HARMONIC, SWEEP, FILTER, CRUSH COLOR Input sound Compensated sound LOW HI 2 COLOR 2.

MIDI SETTINGS MIDI SETTINGS MIDI is an acronym for “Musical Instrument Digital Interface” and refers to a protocol developed for the exchange of data between electronic instruments and computers. A MIDI cable is used to connect components equipped with MIDI connectors to enable the transmission and receipt of data. The DJM-800 uses the MIDI protocol for transmitting and receiving data about component operation and BPM (timing clock).
