1 Designed for high sound quality

Analog signals are transmitted by the shortest circuitry and converted to digital format at 96 kHz sampling rate via a 24-bit high quality A/D converter. As a result, signals are passed to the digital mixing stage in the best possible state. Mixing is performed with a 32-bit DSP, totally eliminating any loss in fidelity, while the ideal level of filtering is introduced to produce optimum sound for DJ play. These features are housed in a high-rigidity chassis with doubleshielded construction together with a high-performance power section and other features of the high-fidelity technology also used in the DJM-1000, thus guaranteeing the utmost in clear and powerful club sounds.

2 Sound-color effects

1) Harmonic effect

Equipped with the industry’s first “harmonic effect” function that detects the track’s key and provides optimum tuning for DJ play. This new function allows smoother, more natural DJ mixing compared to earlier models which allowed DJ play with track tempo adjustment alone.

2) Modulation effect

“Filter,” “crush,” and “sweep” effects have been added to each channel. These allow a greater breadth to DJ play by permitting the user to apply effects more intuitively. Also, by combining these with “beat effects,” some 50 kinds of effect can be produced, giving the user a vast potential for remix and DJ play.

3 Beat effects

The “beat effects” so popular on the DJM-600 are continued here. Effects can be applied in linkage to the BPM (Beats Per Minute) count, thus allowing the production of a variety of sounds. Some of the effects include delay, echo, reverse delay, pan, trance, filter, flanger, phaser, reverb, robot, chorus, roll, and reverse roll.

4 Digital IN/OUT

The digital input connectors support each of the sampling rates (44.1/ 48/96 kHz), thus allowing the connection of digital components for a DJ system with no sound degradation. Likewise the digital output connectors support sampling rates 96 kHz/ 24-bit and 48 kHz/24-bit, making the unit even more convenient for cutting studio tracks or on other occasions when high sound fidelity is required. (Only linear PCM is supported.)

5 MIDI OUT

Virtually all the dial and switch information of the DJM-800 can be output in MIDI signal format, allowing external components to be controlled via MIDI.

6 Other functions

¶ A control cable can be used to connect the unit to a Pioneer DJ CD

player, thus allowing playback to be linked to operation of the fader (“fader start play”).

¶ Built-in “3-band equalizer” supports level control within the range

of +6 dB to –26 dB in each bandwidth.

¶ “Cross fader assignment” function allows each channel’s input to

be assigned flexibly to a cross fader.

¶ “Talk over” function automatically lowers track volume during

microphone input.

¶ “Fader curve adjustment” function allows modification of the

cross fader and channel fader curves.

¶ “Microphone cut” function mutes microphone output to the

booth monitor, thus preventing uncomfortable feedback.

¶ By replacing the channel fader section with the optional rotary

volume kit DJC-800RV, the slider control can be replayed with a rotary type control.

CONNECTIONS (CONNECTING EXTERNAL EFFECTORS, OUTPUT CONNECTORS/ABOUT MIDI CONNECTORS)

CONNECTING EXTERNAL EFFECTORS, OUTPUT CONNECTORS

Master output

This unit is furnished with balanced output MASTER 1 (supporting XLR plugs), and unbalanced output MASTER 2 (supporting RCA plugs). Using the MASTER ATT switch, adjust the output level to match the input sensitivity of the power amplifier used. If the operating panel’s STEREO/MONO switch is set to [MONO], the master output will be a monaural combination of L+R channels.

Booth monitor output

This is a TRS output supporting Ø6.3 mm phone plugs. The sound volume for this output is controlled by the BOOTH MONITOR level dial, independently of the master output level setting.

Recording output

These are output connectors for recording, supporting RCA plugs.

Power amplifier

(RCA plug input connectors)

(analog input recording device)

Cassette deck

Digital output

This is a coaxial digital output connector, supporting RCA plugs. The sampling frequency can be set to 96 kHz/24-bit or 48 kHz/24-bit to match the connected device.

External effector

Use a cable with Ø6.3 mm phone plugs to connect the DJ mixer’s SEND connectors to the effector’s input connectors. When using an effector with monaural inputs, connect only to the DJ mixer’s L channel output. In this way, the mixed L+R audio signal will be sent to the effector. In the same way, use a cable with Ø6.3 mm phone plugs to connect the DJ mixer’s RETURN connectors to the output connectors of the effector. If the effector has only monaural output, connect to the DJ mixer’s L channel input only. The signal from the effector will be input to both L and R channels. When using an external effector, set the effect selector to [SND/RTN].

FADER START FUNCTION

By connecting the optional Pioneer DJ CD Player control cable, the channel fader and cross fader can be used to start CD playback. When the mixer’s channel fader lever or cross fader lever are moved, the CD player is released from the pause mode and automatically – and instantly – begins playback of the selected track. Also, when the fader lever is returned to its original position, the CD player returns to its cue point (back cue), thus allowing “sampler” type play.

Cross fader start play and back cue play

When the CD player assigned to cross fader channel A is set to standby at a cue point, moving the cross fader lever from the right (B) side toward the left (A) side automatically starts play on the channel A CD player. When the cross fader lever reaches the left (A) side, the CD player assigned to channel B goes to back cue (returns to cue point). Also, when the CD player assigned to channel B is set to standby at a cue point, moving the cross fader lever from the left (A) side to the right (B) side automatically starts playback on the channel B CD player. When the cross fader lever reaches the right (B) side, the CD player assigned to channel A goes to back cue (returns to cue point). * The back cue is performed even if the input selector switch is not

set to [CD/DIGITAL] or [LINE/DIGITAL].

EFFECT FUNCTIONS (TYPES OF BEAT EFFECTS)

EFFECT FUNCTIONS

This unit can produce beat effects linked to the BPM, and sound-color effects linked to the COLOR dials provided for each channel, for a total of 18 basic effects (including [SND/RTN]). In addition, by changing the parameters for each kind of effect, an extremely wide range of effect variations can be produced. A wide variety of beat effects can be achieved by varying the temporal parameter via the TIME dial (Parameter 1), as well as quantitative parameter via the LEVEL/DEPTH dial (Parameter 2). Sound-color effect changes can be added by varying the position of the COLOR dials. By combining beat effects and sound-color effects, an even greater range of performance effects can be produced.

TYPES OF BEAT EFFECTS

1. DELAY (One repeat sound)

This function allows a delay sound with beat of 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, 1/1, 2/1, 4/1, 8/1, or 16/1 to be added quickly and simply. For example, When a 1/2 beat delay sound is added, four beats become eight beats. Also, by adding a 3/4 beat delay sound, the rhythm becomes syncopated.

Example

Original (4 beats)

1/2 delay (8 beats)

3. REVERSE DELAY (One repeat sound)

This function allows an inverted delay sound with beat of 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, 1/1, 2/1, 4/1, 8/1, or 16/1 to be added quickly and simply.

Example

Original

1 beat

1/1 reverse delay

1 beat

4. Auto PAN (L-R BALANCE)

This function distributes sounds in units of 1/16, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1/1, 2/1, 4/1, 8/1, or 16/1 to right and left channels in synch with the rhythm (auto beat pan). Also, short auto pan can be performed, allowing sounds to be distributed to right/left very quickly, an effect impossible to perform manually.

Example

Center (Stereo)

Auto beat pan

2. ECHO (Multiple repeat sounds)

This function allows an echo sound with beat of 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, 1/1, 2/1, 4/1, 8/1, or 16/1 to be added quickly and simply. For example, when a 1/1 beat echo sound is used to cutoff the input sound, a sound in synch with the beat is repeated together with fadeout. Also, by adding a 1/1 beat echo to the microphone, the microphone sound repeats in synch with the music beat. If a 1/1 beat echo is applied to the vocal portion of a track, the song takes on an effect reminiscent of a “round”.

In units of 1/4, 1/2, 1/1, 2/1, 4/1, 8/1, 16/1, 32/1, or 64/1 beat, 1 cycle of flanger effect is produced quickly and easily.

Example

Short delay

1 cycle = 1/4, 1/2, 1/1, 2/1, 4/1, 8/1,

16/1, 32/1, or 64/1 beat

12. ROLL

Sounds of 1/16, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1/1, 2/1, 4/1, 8/1, or 16/1 beat are recorded and output repetitively. Also, when sounds are changed from 1/1 beat to 1/2 or 1/4 in synch with the beat, a roll sound effect can be produced.

Example

English

Original

Effect ON

1/1 roll

13. REVERSE ROLL

Sounds of 1/16, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1/1, 2/1, 4/1, 8/1, or 16/1 beat are recorded, inverted, and output repetitively. Also, when sounds are changed from 1/1 beat to 1/2 or 1/4 in synch with the beat, an inverted playback roll sound effect can be produced.

Example

8. PHASER

In units of 1/4, 1/2, 1/1, 2/1, 4/1, 8/1, 16/1, 32/1, or 64/1 beat, 1 cycle of phaser effect is produced quickly and easily.

Example

Phase shift

1 cycle = 1/4, 1/2, 1/1, 2/1, 4/1, 8/1,

Beat effects allow the instant setting of effect times in synch with the BPM (beats per minute), thus allowing the production of a wide variety of effects in synch with the current rhythm, even during live performances.

1. Press the AUTO/TAP button to set the Beats Per Minute (BPM = track speed) measuring mode.

AUTO:

The BPM of the input music signal is detected automatically. TAP: The BPM is input manually by tapping on the TAP button. ¶ Whenever power is first turned ON, the function defaults to the

[AUTO] mode.

¶ The indicator for the selected mode [AUTO/TAP] lights in the

display.

¶ In the event the track’s BPM cannot be detected automatically,

the display’s BPM counter will flash.

¶ The effective range in the AUTO mode is 70 to 180 BPM.

It may not be possible to measure some tracks accurately.

In this case, use the TAP mode for manual BPM input.

[Using the TAP Button for Manual BPM Input]

If the TAP button is tapped two times or more in synch with beat (1/4 notes), the BPM will be recorded as the average value recorded during that interval.

¶ When BPM mode is set to [AUTO], tapping the TAP button

will cause the BPM mode to change to the TAP mode, and the interval at which the TAP button is pressed will be measured.

¶ When the BPM is set via the TAP button, the beat multiple

becomes “1/1” (or “4/1”, depending on the effect selected), and the time for 1 beat (1/4 notes) or 4 beats will be set as the effect time.

¶ If the TIME dial is rotated while depressing the TAP button,

direct BPM can be set manually. If the TIME dial is rotated while holding the TAP button and AUTO/TAP buttons depressed, the BPM can be set in 0.1 units.

2. Set the effect selector to the desired effect.

¶ The display will show the name of the selected effect. ¶ See P. 14 to 15 for details regarding the various effects.

3. Set the effect channel selector to the channel you wish to apply the effect to.

¶ The display’s channel name indicator will show the selected

channel with red frame.

¶ If [MIC] is selected, the effect will be applied to both

microphone 1 and microphone 2.

4. Press the BEAT button (2, 3) to select the beat multiple to which the effect is to be synchronized.

¶ When 3 is pressed, the beat count calculated from the BPM is

doubled, and when 2 is pressed, the beat count calculated from the BPM is halved (some effects also allow “3/4” setting).

¶ The multiple of the selected beat (parameter 1 position) is

displayed in seven sections on the display (see P. 11).

¶ The effect time corresponding to the beat’s multiple is set

automatically. Example: When BPM = 120 1/1 = 500 ms 1/2 = 250 ms 2/1 = 1 000 ms

5. Set the ON/OFF button to ON to enable the effect.

¶ Each time the button is pressed, the effect alternates ON/OFF

(whenever power is first turned ON, the function defaults to OFF).

¶ The ON/OFF button flashes when the effect is ON.

1. Press the sound-color effect selector buttons (HARMONIC, SWEEP, FILTER, CRUSH) for the desired effect.

HARMONIC:

Applies a pitch-shifted effect matching the track’s key.

SWEEP:

The track is passed through the filter and output.

CRUSH:

The track’s sound is output in a “crush” effect.

FILTER:

The track is filtered and output.

¶ The button for the selected effect will flash. ¶ The selected effect is applied equally to channels 1 to 4. ¶ If the flashing button is pressed, it lights steadily, and the effect

turns OFF.

¶ When power is first turned on, all effects default to OFF

(indicators are lighted).

2. Use the sound-color effect parameter dial (COLOR) to adjust the quantitative parameter for the effect.

¶ The parameter can be adjusted independently for each

channel.

¶ The color of the harmonic indicator changes to indicate the

condition of the harmonic effect. Red: Does not match frequency of key scale. Green: Matches frequency of key scale.

MIDI SETTINGS

MIDI is an acronym for “Musical Instrument Digital Interface” and refers to a protocol developed for the exchange of data between electronic instruments and computers. A MIDI cable is used to connect components equipped with MIDI connectors to enable the transmission and receipt of data. The DJM-800 uses the MIDI protocol for transmitting and receiving data about component operation and BPM (timing clock).

SYNCHRONIZING AUDIO SIGNALS TO EXTERNAL SEQUENCER, OR USING DJM-800 INFORMATION TO OPERATE AN EXTERNAL SEQUENCER

1. Use a commercially available MIDI cable to connect the DJM-800’s MIDI OUT connector to the MIDI sequencer’s MIDI IN connector.

¶ Set the MIDI sequencer’s synch mode to “Slave”. ¶ MIDI sequencers that do not support MIDI timing clock cannot

be synchronized.

¶ Synch may not be achieved if the track’s BPM cannot be

detected and measured stably.

¶ BPM values set with the TAP mode can also be used to output

the timing clock.

2. Press the MIDI START/STOP button.

¶ The MIDI timing clock output range is 40 to 250 BPM.

Note:

¶ Accurate measuring of BPM may be impossible with some tracks.

[MIDI Channel Setting]

The MIDI channel (1 to 16) can be set and stored in memory.

1. While holding the MIDI START/STOP button depressed, set the power switch to ON.

¶ The display will show [MIDI CH SETTING] and the unit will

enter the MIDI setting mode.

2. Rotate the TIME dial to select the MIDI channel.

3. Press the MIDI START/STOP button.

¶ The selected MIDI channel will be recorded.

4. Set power to OFF.
