Like the trusty DJ mixers of yore,

inputs for announcements, an impromptu
rap, or any other vocal nuance. But this
new generation’s USB connectivity

Get In-Sync!
The built-in beat counter is an
extremely useful feature, allowing smooth
crossfades between two tracks—an
important key to the success of your
performance. The beat counter analyzes
and displays the tempi of your tracks in
BPM (Beats Per Minute). The beat counter
sections of channels 1 and 2 are identical,
with the tempo of each track shown in
the respective channel’s display.
In the case of multiple tempo changes,
the beat counter would normally change
continuously, causing confusion and
rendering the function virtually useless.
But thanks to VMX’s SYNC LOCK button,
you can limit the range of possible tempo
values within a given song. Pressing this
button once allows the counter to lock
onto and display a more realistic value.
Additionally, the BEAT ASSIST button
allows you to set the beat counter’s
tempo manually, similar to “tap tempo”
function. Pressing the button three
times in time with the track will set
the beat counter and its display at the
desired tempo.
The BEAT ASSIST and SYNC LOCK
buttons are each equipped with an LED
that shows which function is activated.
Once the tempo of the two tracks has
been determined and locked with the
SYNC LOCK or BEAT ASSIST buttons,
the tempo dierence between the
two crossfader-assigned sources is
displayed via the 9-segment TEMPO
DIFFERENCE LED display (not available on
VMX1000USB). When the center LED is lit,
the tracks are in perfectly in sync; when
the display moves to the left or right, the
corresponding channel is running out
of sync. It just doesn’t get much easier
than this!
