Rane Sixty-Eight Sixty-Eight Mixer Manual for Serato DJ - Page 18

OWNER'S MANUAL Effects Display and Match Indicator The effects display shows the current BPM, beat multiplier and time for a selected effect. A bar graph represents the effect time relative to its range. If no effect is selected, the information for the last effect is displayed. The effect time is normally a product of the BPM and the Beat multiplier. BPM: 120 < 4/1 TIME: 2097MS |||||| FLEXFX If the left () arrow appears, there is an inequality between the BPM*Beat and time. The arrow indicates which way to adjust the Beat to correct the inequality and get the closest possible time. If an asterisk (*) is displayed, the BPM*Beat results in the correct time as displayed. For example, 120 BPM with a 4/1 beat multiplier would result in an effect time of 2000 ms. If the time is adjusted to a different value, such as 2097 ms, an arrow indicates that the product of the displayed BPM and multiplier does not result in the displayed effect time. For this example, 2000 ms is below 2097 ms, so hitting the < Beat button will snap to 120 * 4/1 and change the time to its product, 2000 ms. A flashing bar graph indicates that the requested effect time is out of range. For example, if a BPM of 120 is used with a beat multiplier of 4, the resulting time is 2 seconds. If the multiplier is set to 16, the resulting time would be 8 seconds, which is out of range. In this case, the time remains at 2 seconds and the bar flashes. Effects Synchronization The mixer can synchronize its internal effects to songs tagged with BPM values in Serato DJ. With no other channels assigned to the FlexFX, press the FlexFX button in the channel playing a song with a tagged BPM in Serato DJ. The Match Indicator will change to a flashing asterisk (*) indicating that the mixer is now tracking the Serato DJ supplied BPM, and the internal effect BPM will change to this value. The mixer will continue to track the Serato DJ BPM until a new BPM is manually tapped in using the Tap button. Effects Parameter Table Effect Level/Depth Knob Filter Flanger Adjusts the strength of the effect. Phaser Echo Adjusts the decay of the echo. Max results in no decay, with faster decay the more the knob is turned CCW. Minimum results in no echo. Robot Adjusts the warble. Reverb Adjusts reverb depth. Time Encoder Tap Button Adjusts the effect time. Holding the Tap Button while turning the knob adjusts the BPM. Depressing the knob restarts the effect. Value range: 32ms - 32000ms Adjusts the effect time. The effect time is the length of the recorded sample used for echoing. Holding the Tap Button while twisting the knob adjusts the BPM.
