As a result, signals are passed to the digital mixing stage in the best possible state. Mixing is performed with a 32-bit DSP, totally eliminating any loss in fidelity, while the ideal level of filtering is introduced to produce optimum sound for DJ play. These features are housed in a high-rigidity chassis with doubleshielded construction together with a high-performance power section and other features of the high-fidelity technology also used in the DJM-1000, thus guaranteeing the utmost in clear and powerful club sounds. 2 Sound-color effects 1) Harmonic effect Equipped with the industry's first "harmonic effect" function that detects the track's key and provides optimum tuning for DJ play. This new function allows smoother, more natural DJ mixing compared to earlier models which allowed DJ play with track tempo adjustment alone. 2) Modulation effect "Filter," "crush," and "sweep" effects have been added to each channel. These allow a greater breadth to DJ play by permitting the user to apply effects more intuitively. Also, by combining these with "beat effects," some 50 kinds of effect can be produced, giving the user a vast potential for remix and DJ play. 3 Beat effects The "beat effects" so popular on the DJM-600 are continued here. Effects can be applied in linkage to the BPM (Beats Per Minute) count, thus allowing the production of a variety of sounds. Some of the effects include delay, echo, reverse delay, pan, trance, filter, flanger, phaser, reverb, robot, chorus, roll, and reverse roll. 4 Digital IN/OUT The digital input connectors support each of the sampling rates (44.1/ 48/96 kHz), thus allowing the connection of digital components for a DJ system with no sound degradation. Likewise the digital output connectors support sampling rates 96 kHz/ 24-bit format and 48 kHz/24-bit format, making the unit even more convenient for cutting studio tracks or on other occasions when high sound fidelity is required. (Only linear PCM is supported.) 5 MIDI OUT Virtually all the dial and switch information of the DJM-800 can be output in MIDI signal format, allowing external components to be controlled via MIDI. 6 Other functions ¶ A control cable can be used to connect the unit to a Pioneer DJ CD player, thus allowing playback to be linked to operation of the fader ("fader start play"). ¶ Built-in "3-band equalizer" supports level control within the range of +6 dB to -26 dB in each bandwidth. ¶ "Cross fader assignment" function allows each channel's input to be assigned flexibly to a cross fader. ¶ "Talk over" function automatically lowers track volume during microphone input. ¶ "Fader curve adjustment" function allows modification of the cross fader and channel fader curves. ¶ "Microphone cut" function mutes microphone output to the booth monitor, thus preventing uncomfortable feedback. ¶ By replacing the channel fader section with the optional rotary volume kit DJC-800RV, the slider control can be replayed with a rotary type control. 4
