Getting Started Connections Basic Operations Effector Function Fader Start USB Utility Specifications Troubleshooting Effector Function BeatBreaker Function The unit comes with 2 independent effectors which are linked to the number of beats which has been set in synchronization with the number of beats per minute (BPM) of the musical compositions. It also has an effect send configuration which makes it possible to send the signals of a multiple number of input channels simultaneously to the effectors. As a result, it can give presentations based on effect groups by effector A and effector B, add the effects which are produced by the 2 effectors and which differ between channel input and master output, and present a wide range of other acoustic effects as well. Types of effects and details of operations No. Effect 1 Delay 2 Echo 3 Trans 4 Flanger 5 Filter 6 Phaser 7 Reverb 8 Loop 9 Rev. Loop 10 Pitch Shift 11 BeatBreaker 12 SEND/RTN Description of effect operation Adds signals which have been delayed by the time of the beat setting. Adds echo signals which have been delayed by the time of the beat setting. Cuts off the signals at the time of the beat setting. Adds signals whose delay time has been varied in the LFO period of the beat setting. Varies the filter cut-off frequency using the beat setting time. Adds signals whose phase has been varied in the LFO period of the beat setting. Adds reverberation signals which have been delayed by the time of the beat setting. Initiates the same kind of loop sampler processing as the LOOP function of other Denon DJ products. Initiates the reverse play processing of the above loop signals. Initiates the pitch shift processing of the input signals, and outputs the results. Initiates the partial insertion processing of the attack sounds of the beats as per the beat pattern. Sends the signals whose effects have been selected to the external effector and returns the signals from the external effector. * EFX 1 and EFX 2 cannot be selected at the same time. * In order to achieve normal effects, set the BPM value that matches the number of beats of the musical compositions. 1. What the BeatBreaker effector does This effector breaks down the music signals in each bar obtained from the BPM value a quarter beat at a time into 16 sections, replaces these sections with a preset beat pattern, and then plays them back to achieve an effect where the beat of the original musical composition is changed. 2. Details of operation The beat patterns consist of 16 blocks, and when these blocks are lighted, the sound is being replaced by the initial sound of the beat. When this effect is ON, the block being played lights up blue. Example: q Pattern w Snare Kick e Snare Kick In the case of pattern q shown in the figure, when the music signals w are input, the sound of signals e, which are produced by replacing the sound of the first quarter beat with the lighted section, are output. 3. Operation method Using the Effect ON/OFF buttons, the effect with the timing when the buttons were set to ON at the beginning is added. The beat pattern is selected using the BEAT , buttons. In the Utility mode, five user presets can be created. 9
