A.D.
(Artificial-Dissemination) – Reduces the bit rate of the music creating increasing distortion with intensity.

CHOP – This effect works best when the Beatkeeper™

is properly aligned. Chop breaks up the music by
turning the volume on and off based upon the BPM of

the Beatkeeper™. First activation of the effect plays

1/8

th

note or half of every beat. In the BPM display will

indicate an 1-8 which means one measure (4 beats) of
music has been broken into 8 parts. Rotation of the

wheel to the left decreases the parts to 1-4, 1-2, and 1-

1. At 1-1 the music plays for 4 beats then is silent.

Rotating to the right breaks up the music into 1-16, 1-

32, 1-64, then smaller increments making for another interesting effect. When the effect is first activated the
music will play the section then turn off for a section. This is important because you can reverse the sections

that are off and on by activating the effect in the other section. If you deactivate the effect then turn it on

again it remembers the last set parameter.


PAN -
This effect also works best when the

Beatkeeper™ is properly aligned. Auto-pan

alternates playing right and left audio based upon the

BPM of the Beatkeeper™. First activation of the
effect plays alternates on 1/8

th

notes or half of every

beat. In the BPM display will indicate an 1-8 which

means one measure (4 beats) of music has been

broken into 8 parts. Rotation of the wheel to the left
decreases the parts to 1-4, 1-2, and 1-1. Rotating to

the right makes faster changes of 1-16, 1-32, 1-64, then smaller increments making for another interesting

effect. If you deactivate the effect then turn it on again it remembers the last set parameter.


Isolate - This isolation filter lets you play only a

specific frequency of the music. Rotation of the

wheel moves the frequency played through the

audio spectrum. If you turn off the effect then on
again it remembers the last set parameter.

KILL- This elimination filter lets you play all but a

specified frequency. Rotation of the wheel moves
the frequency not played through the audio

spectrum. If you turn off the effect then on again it

remembers the last set parameter.


Reverse- Plays the music backwards. When the effect is activated the music will play backwards until it is

released. There is no limit to the amount of time you can reverse.

Bleep- The effect activates as soon as the button is
pressed. It is a temporary (forward) reverse

function for “bleeping” dirty lyrics or creating

interesting effects. By pressing the button the

music plays backwards from buffer until released or

until the buffer runs out. When the button is
release, or the buffer runs out, the audio plays

forward form the point where the music would have

been if the button was never pressed. For example, is the effect is activated for 5 seconds at 10 seconds

into a song, forward play will resume at 15 seconds. The buffer time for this operation is variable depending
upon the number of loops set and anti-shock buffer available.
