Features

This unit is a remixing station for DJs consisting of four effect sections. It allows tracks to be arranged in real time with intuitive operation.

SCENE FX

Through the operation of turning the control, new sounds can be added to the currently playing track and breaks can be created at the desired positions to achieve a new sound for the track. Ten types of effects and two sub parameters can be combined to achieve highly individualistic DJ remixing performances.

ISOLATE FX

The sounds of specific instruments can be isolated and their rhythm and tone changed in the same way as a DJ mixer’s EQ controls are operated. One of four effects can be selected and applied at separate rates for the low, mid and high frequencies.

X-PAD FX

By operating the touchpad, new sounds can be added to the original track in beat with the track’s rhythm. Various sounds can be added to tracks and remixed using four preset internal sound sources or by loading sampled sound sources from SD memory cards.

RELEASE FX

The currently playing track and the effect sound can be transitioned smoothly simply by operating the lever. Three types of effects and a lever switch allow you to create highly individualistic arrangements.
