Networking

You can use X1800 Prime to network multiple SC5000 Prime units together, enabling them to seamlessly share timing and BPM information with X1800 Prime (to synchronize effect tempos) as well as track and user profile data with other SC5000 Prime units.

This feature provides some advantages while performing. For instance, if you are using four SC5000 Prime units, you can use one of them to browse through all tracks on all devices (USB drives or SD cards) connected to any of those SC5000 Prime units. You can then play any of those tracks immediately without having to move a device from one unit to the other.

To network SC5000 Prime units together, use the included networking cables to connect each of

their Link ports to a Link port (1–4) on the rear panel of your X1800 Prime.

The Network (Media Status) light on each SC5000 Prime unit will turn on when it is properly connected to a network.

By default, X1800 Prime is set to detect and configure each SC5000 Prime automatically once you connect their Link ports. The Link port on X1800 Prime will determine which channels that SC5000 Prime unit uses. See the scenarios below.

You can also freely assign each SC5000 Prime layer to a specific channel by changing the Engine Connect setting on X1800 Prime. See Operation > Utility Menu > System to learn how to do this.

Operation

Effects

BPM Effect Module

The built-in effect module enables you to apply any one of several effects to specific channels based on its current tempo.

To turn the BPM effect module on or off, press FX On/Off.

To select the channel to which the BPM effect module will apply its effects, turn the FX

Channel Assign knob. The options are: Channel 1, 2, 3, or 4; X-Fader A or B (either side of the crossfader); Mic (both microphone signals); or Master (the master mix).

To apply or remove the effect to or from the cue channel, press FX Cue. When the button

is lit, effects will be applied to the headphones’ cue channel only.

To select an effect, turn the FX Select/Enter knob. These are the available effects:

• Echo: This effect adds echoes of the original signal.

• Delay: This effect adds repeated instances of the original signal that decay over time.

• Ping Pong: This is a stereo delay effect where the rate of delay is different between the

left and right channels.

• Trans (transition): This effect cuts off the original signal at a regular rate.

• Flanger: This effect adds a slightly delayed copy of the original signal to create a comb-

filter effect (often referred to as resembling a jet plane engine).

• Filter: This effect varies the filter cutoff frequency at a regular rate.

• Phaser: This effect adds a copy of the original signal with its phase shifted slightly to

create a subtle, modulatory effect.

• Reverb: This effect adds reverberation to the original signal. The amount of delay depends on the tempo.

• Roll: This effect samples the current audio signal and repeats it at a regular rate based on the current time division.

• RevRoll (reverse roll): This effect samples the current audio signal and repeats it backward at a regular rate based on the current time division.

• B

eatBreak: This effect samples the 4 beats of each bar of the original signal and replays

them (within the same bar) according to a preset pattern, creating a “stuttering,” “breakbeat” effect.

To select a pattern to use, turn the FX Time knob to select Pattern 0–15, as shown in

the second display. The 16 blocks ( █ ) and/or lines ( __ ) below it indicate the rhythm of the current pattern similarly to a drum machine’s step sequencer: a block represents a “hit”/”strike” and a line represents a rest.

Examples:

indicates a hit on each beat. indicates a hit on every 8th note. indicates a hit on every 16th note (every

note of the pattern).

Use the Utility menu to edit the patterns (see Utility Menu > Advanced Audio).

• Scratch: This effect alternates between normal and reverse playback of each beat, creating a vinyl-scratching effect.

• SendRtn (send/return): This option will enable the send outputs and receive inputs, allowing you to use external effects on the signal.

All of the BPM effects are time-based, so the BPM effect module offers several ways for you enter or detect the tempo it will use.

To adjust the time division of the BPM effect module, do either of the following:

• Make sure the time division (__ Beat) is selected in the lower display (if it is not, press the FX Time knob), and then turn the FX Time knob to select another time division.

• When the Instant button is off, tap an area of the FX touch strip to select a time division. A corresponding light along the strip will illuminate to indicate the current time division.

To adjust the rate of the BPM effect module in milliseconds, make sure the millisecond rate

(__ ms) is selected in the lower display (if it is not, press the FX Time knob), and then turn the

FX Time knob to adjust it.

To enter a new tempo, press Tap at least 3 times at the desired tempo. This will set the rate of the BPM

effect module for the channel set by the FX Channel Assign knob (the module’s rate for other channels will remain unchanged). The Tap button will be dimly lit when using a BPM manually entered this way.

To detect the tempo automatically, press and hold Tap/-Auto for 1 second. This will synchronize the

rate of BPM effect module with the audio signal of the channel set by the FX Channel Assign knob (the module’s rate for other channels will remain unchanged). The Tap button will be brightly lit when using a BPM automatically detected this way, and Auto will be shown next to the BPM in the second display.

Note: If you are using an SC5000 Prime unit with Engine Connect, the SC5000 Prime will control the BPM effect module, and the Engine logo will be shown in the second display.

To adjust the tempo manually, press and hold Tap/-Auto, and then turn the FX Time knob to

adjust the BPM in increments of 1. While still holding Tap/-Auto, press and turn the FX Time knob to adjust the BPM in increments of 0.1.

You can easily adjust the balance between the “wet” signal (the BPM effect module’s output signal) and “dry” signal (audio without effects applied).

To adjust the balance between the “wet” and “dry” signals, turn the Wet/Dry knob. Alternatively,

use the FX touch strip while in Instant FX Mode (see below).

Normally, you would apply effects to the entire frequency spectrum, but X1800 Prime also lets you apply them to an isolated frequency band of the audio signal (of the selected channel).

To select the frequency band, turn the FX Frequency knob. Select the center (12:00) position

to apply effects to the entire spectrum of frequencies.

Instant FX Mode enables you to use the FX touch strip to activate the effect and adjust its time division simultaneously.

To enable or disable Instant FX Mode, press Instant. The button will light up when it is enabled. To activate the effect, tap and hold your finger on the FX touch strip, and then drag your

finger up or down to adjust the time division of the effect.

Sweep FX

Sweep FX enable you to apply one of four effects to the four channels and “sweep” them using the

Sweep FX knobs. You can apply only one sweep effect at a time.

To activate a sweep effect, tap one of the Sweep FX buttons: Dub Echo, Noise, Wash Out, or

Gate. The button will light up when activated. Only one of these buttons can be enabled at a time.

To deactivate a sweep effect, tap the lit Sweep FX button. Alternatively, press a different Sweep FX

button to activate it, which will deactivate the other.

These are the available effects and how each one is controlled by the Sweep FX knobs. For all sweep effects, the center (“12:00”) position of the Sweep FX knob is the minimum position (the effect is not applied). Turning it clockwise or counter-clockwise from this position can produce different results.

• Dub Echo: This effect adds a brief echo. Turn a Sweep FX knob counter-clockwise to

decrease the length of the delay and increase the feedback, or turn it clockwise to increase the length of the delay as well as the feedback.

• Noise: This effect adds noise to the signal. Turn a Sweep FX knob counter-clockwise to add pink noise, or turn it clockwise to add white noise.

• Wash Out: This creates a transition effect. Turn a Sweep FX knob to its most counterclockwise (minimum) position to apply a 1-beat echo that will also mute the channel’s normal audio signal, or turn it to its most clockwise (maximum) position to apply a 1/2-beat echo.

• Gate: This effect applies a time-based gate effect to the signal. Turn a Sweep FX knob counter-clockwise to apply a gate effect synchronized with the channel’s tempo, or turn it clockwise to do the same thing with an added effect.

Utility Menu

The Utility menu enables you to customize various settings on X1800 Prime that affect the audio signal routing, effects module, input and output levels, and more.

To enter or exit the Utility menu, press Utility. Exiting the Utility menu also saves any changes you made.
