Functions
That Push DJ Sound to The Limit
1) Auto BPM Counter - Only
From Pioneer
Let the digital readout confirm what you already know
by ear. The Beatst-Per-Minute Counter measures the BPM of virtually
all kinds of dance music, enabling you to check the tempo at a glance.
Linking widely differing types of music is easier than ever with the
Auto BPM Counter.
2) Producing New Sounds And Effects Is
A Snap With The
Auto BPM
DELAY
A single repeat of 1/2, 314 and 1/1 beat music can be overlaid over
a track. For example, with 1/2 Beat Delay, four beats will be increased
to eight, while using the 3/4 Beat Delay produces a "leap sound"
effect.
ECHO
Repeatedly overlaying beats of 1/2, 3/4 and 1/1 is simple. Cutting in
1/1 beat Echo can create an intriguing fade to the beat; applying it
to the mike causes microphone output to be reproduced repeatedly to
the same beat.
AUTO PAN
The left-right balance can be changed automatically to the rhythm as
rapidly as you like. Auto Pan can do rhythmic switches too quick for
human operators.
FLANGER
Switching to the Flanger effect produces synthesizer tones quickly and
easily. The Flanger works particularly well in conjunction with a Seamless
Loop.
Other Effect Features
PITCH SHIFTER The Pitch Shifter corrects for changes in pitch within
a range of +/- 1 octave when using analog turntables or other vendors'
CD players. Used with the mic, the Pitch Shifter can alter voices.
REVERB
A variety of reverberation effects are available.
SEND/RETURN
Your samplers and peripherals are easily connected to the DJM-500.
3) Effect On/Off
With one touch of the Effect On/Off button, effects
are linked to the rhythm
4) EQ For Each Channel
The DJM-500 features a 3-band independent EQ for each
channel, allowing for simple correction, emphasis or even elimination
of different sound characteristics.
5) Peak Level Meter For Each
Channel
Source input levels are given instantly for each channel.
6) Beat Indicator
The indicator lamps tell you when the beat you want
is linked to the Auto BPM.
A Great Match For The CDJ Series
7) Fader Start Play
Connecting the DJM-500 to the CDJ Series allows you
to take advantage of Fader Start Play; by increasing the Fader on the
mixer, the player will automatically override the Pause control and
start the music immediately. Fader Start Play also works during Cross
Fading, an industry first that brings out the best in sampler-style
music.
8) Fader Back Cue Play
When the DJM-500 is used with the CDJ Series (excluding
CDJ-50OG and CDJ-500), the Fader or Cross Fader controls can also return
you automatically to a designated cue point if desired. By fading Cross
Fader back and forth or Fader up and down quickly, you can give the
"essence" of scratching a certain point on a vinyl record.
