DJ-FX Plugin
The DJ-FX Plugin gives you control
of two FX units, each with three chained
effects slots per unit. Each FX unit has
two control modes: Ultra Knob Mode and
Super Knob Mode, both of which can be
fully customized. The DJ-FX plugin opens
in Ultra Knob Mode by default.
To enable the DJ-FX Plugin, go to the
Plugins tab in the Setup screen, choose
DJ-FX and check Enable DJ-FX Plugin.
Once enabled, the DJ-FX panel button
appears in the panels area on the main
screen.
NOTE: The DJ-FX plugin is not visible
if your Rane hardware is not connected.
Ultra Knob Mode
Click the Ultra Knob Mode button
to select Ultra Knob Mode. This
allows you to control up to three effects
slots in one FX unit using the one Ultra
Knob.
Click on the drop down menu to load an
Ultra Knob effect. (This is “empty” before
settings are saved in Macro Edit Mode.)
Click the ON button to enable the effect,
and use the Ultra Knob to control the wet
and dry amount of all effects.
Click the Show Parameters button
to show the effects and parameters
that are controlled by the loaded
Ultra Knob preset.
Super Knob Mode
Super Knob Mode allows you
individual control of each effect in
the FX unit. Each effect slot has a Super
Knob which controls the wet and dry
amount for the effect.
Click the Effects drop down box to
select an effect for the effect slot. You can
leave a slot empty by selecting “empty.”
Click the ON button by the Super
Knobs to toggle turning the effect(s) on
and off.
The effects chain works in series going
from effects slots 1 to 3, meaning that the
effected audio from slot 1 passes through
slot 2, which is then passed through slot
3.
Effects BPM Multiplier
The Effects BPM
Multiplier is used to
adjust the effect time. The effect time is
set using the track’s BPM value, but by
applying the Effects BPM Multiplier you
can increase or decrease the effect time.
Deck Assign
You can select which Deck the FX unit
applies to by clicking the Deck buttons.
Each Deck can only pass through one FX
unit at a time.
Show Parameters
Press the Show Parameters button
to expose the individual parameters
for each effect. You can then control
the individual parameters by adjusting
their respective knobs.
In Ultra Knob Mode, use this to select
which effects are loaded and controlled by
the Ultra Knob.
In Ultra and Super Knob Mode, you
can link or unlink a parameter to the
Super Knob by pressing the Link Button,
allowing one master control of some
parameters and individual control of
others.
Macro Edit Mode
Macro Edit Mode is an advanced
option that allows you to create
macro mappings for each effect and to
save any effects edits made in Ultra or
Super Knob Mode. Open Macro Edit
Mode by clicking the Macro Edit Button
while Show Parameters is open. Once
opened, more controls appear which
allow you to create and change parameter
mappings.
