ECHO Effect
Echo is an audio effect which records an input signal and then plays it back after a period of time. The
delayed signal may be played back multiple times to create the sound of a repeating, decaying echo. The
amount of recirculation determines the echo decay rate. There are four available Echo options:
• Echo with no feedback filter and adjustable recirculation 0 to 70%.
• Hold Echo with no feedback filter and adjustable recirculation of 0% to 100%.
• Low-Cut Echo with adjustable feedback filter and adjustable recirculation 0 to 70%.
• Low-Cut Hold Echo with adjustable feedback filter and adjustable recirculation of 0% to 100%.
The two feedback-filter types help reduce a “muddy” sound that can result when using a lot of
recirculation. The type of Echo is selected in the menu on the mixer in the "Echo Effect Options Menu" on
page 23, or in the "Effects Screen" on page 27. Operation of controls for the Echo is defined in the
"Effects Parameter Table" on page 20.
ROBOT Effect
The Robot effect is a pitch-shift type that shifts pitch by an amount indicated on the display bar-graph.
The range is -100% (minus one octave) to +100% (plus one octave). Operation of controls for the Robot is
defined in the "Effects Parameter Table" on page 20.
REVERB Effect
The Reverb effect can give the impression of a larger more reverberant space. In other words, it can
make a small room sound like a much larger room. Reverberation is created when a sound is produced
in an enclosed space causing a large number of echoes to build up and then slowly decay as the sound
is absorbed by the walls and air. This is most noticeable when the sound source stops but the reflections
continue, decreasing in amplitude, until they can no longer be heard. The length of reverberation
time is dependent on the size and acoustic character of a room. The bar-graph indicates the level of
reverberation. 100% is most reverberant and 0% is least reverberant. Operation of controls for the Reverb
is defined in the "Effects Parameter Table" on page 20.
Effects Display and BPM Source
The effects display shows the name of the current
effect, BPM, MIDI beat clock source, Beat Multiplier
and Time. A bar graph represents the effect time
relative to its range. If no effect is selected, the
information for the last effect is displayed. The
display for Robot and Reverb is somewhat different
as outlined below. There four possible BPM sources:
• (*) Manual Tap.
• (S) Serato DJ software.
• (A) USB A Beat-Clock.
• (B) USB B Beat-Clock.
To change the BPM source, press and hold the TAP button and use the BEAT
joystick to step through the sources. If a new BPM is manually tapped in or
the TIME encoder is manually altered, the BPM source returns to (*) Manual.
The effect time is normally a product of the BPM and the Beat Multiplier. If the right arrow or left arrow
appears, there is an inequality between the BPM*Beat and Time. The arrow indicates which way to
adjust the Beat Multiplier to correct the inequality and get the closest possible time. If the BPM source is
displayed (*, S, A, B), the BPM*Beat matches the displayed Time.
