SPECIAL EFFECTS
EFFECT SELECTION (Single Mode): To select and activate an effect tap on it’s button, it will light to indicate activation and effect
will indicate in the display. To put the effect into hold mode or active alternate effects press the center button. The button will light
indicating the hold has been activated and hold will show in the display. To release any button, tap it once again.
EFFECT SELECTION (Multiple Effect Mode): In order to activate/deactivate this mode press PROG + HOLD. The display will
indicate “MULTI” or “no MULTI”. Press an effect and move the wheel to the desired parameter. Then press a second effect. The
first effect will flash while the current effect will be solid. To change effects, select the effect you want. To release, press the
“current/solid” effect a second time. You can use a combined effect value of 4 effect values at
the same time. This includes both sides added together. The values are with Scratch and
Reverse being always possible. Phaze, Sonar, and Slide take 2 effect values and the remaining
options require 1. If more than the allowed values are attempted, they will not activate.
For example:
•
You can have Echo and ISO from side one and Scratch and Sonar from side 2.
• Phaze from Side one and Slide from Side 2
• Phaze and Slide from Side 1 but only Scratch from side 2
EFFECT PARAMETER SELECTION: Once an effect is active, rotate the wheel to the desired
parameter. The Parameter for most effects will show in the display above the effect indication.
Note: For all effects except reverse, pitch bend on the jog wheel will be deactivated so you must
use the pitch bend buttons instead.
EFFECT PARAMETER PRESET: Press on the desired effect and rotate the wheel without releasing the button. When the desired
parameter is reached in the display, release the button. If an effect is already playing, the new parameter will be heard upon button
release. If the effect is not active, then the next time the effect is activated it will be set to play from this parameter in “hold”
mode. If you wish to preset an alternate effect such as SLIDE, PAN, or KILL press the hold button first, then hold down the effect
button and spin the wheel as described above.
EFFECTS:
SCRATCH – This effect makes it possible for the wheel to scratch the music while it is playing. If
you move the wheel back and forth the music will stop and play slowly as the wheel is moved
similar to scratching a record. There are two modes of operation for this effect. By pressing
followed by the scratch button you can toggle between Scratch 1,2,3, and 4. In
“Scratch 1” the unit automatically returns to play when the wheel stops moving. In “Scratch 2”,
when the wheel is brought to a stop the music will stop and when you push the wheel forward
the unit will automatically play.
In “Scratch 3” the unit scratches from the current buffer until
the unit is released. When released, the unit jumps ahead to the point where the music would
have been, if not interrupted. This essentially allows a bleep of dirty lyrics through scratch. In
“Scratch 4” the unit scratches from the last set cue point until released. This allows you to
scratch from a set “sample”
SCRATCH HOLD – This effect works like the above except the music will not release when the
wheel is pushed forward. It is basically the same as scratching on a powered off turntable.
Scratch is similar to working with a playing turntable, while the Scratch hold is similar to
scratching a turntable with the power off.
PHAZE – Creates an effect on the music similar to the sound of an airplane taking off. As the
wheel is moved the effect is created. If the wheel stops moving the effect will return to the
beginning on it’s own. If the effect is in “Hold” the effect will stay at the current sound until the
effect is released by the button or hold removed.
SONAR – creates a metallic hollow effect to create a slightly different sound. The wheel works a
similar way as Phaze.

SLIDE – Smoothly changes the key of the music. In the key display you will
see the key change as the wheel is moved.
ECHO – this effect adds echo to the music also based
upon the Beatkeeper™. The start parameter is no echo
“0”. If you move the wheel to the right the numbers will
go 1-64, 1-32, 1-16, 1-8, 1-4, 1-2, and 1-1 indicating
the amount of echo added to the unit. If you move the
wheel to the left you will create negative or preceding
echo. This essentially plays the music before you get to
it.
