14 Changing the crossfader curve. The control knob to
the left of the crossfader sets the crossfader curve. In the
normal fully anticlockwise position the signal dips by 5dB at the
middle position for smooth fading between tracks. Turn the
knob clockwise gradually for an increasingly dipless response;
whereby the signal starts to dip only once the fader has passed
the mid position. This is better suited to scratch or cut mixing
where you layer the sounds.
15 Crossfader mixing. At this point you may wish to plug
in a pair of turntables and experiment with DJ mixing. Plug into
stereo channel 1 and channel 2 phono inputs if your turntables
require RIAA equalisation. If not, plug into the line inputs.
Remember to connect the turntable earth leads to the console
chassis earth terminal. Use CUE to set up the channel level as
you did in step 7. Route channel 1 to X and channel 2 to Y of
the crossfader.
16 Adding VCF filter effects. Each side of the crossfader
features a stereo Voltage Controlled Filter which presents the
DJ with a unique set of live performance tools to create subtle
or startling tonal effects. Route the channel to either of the two
filters using the three way toggles; push the toggle to the left for
filter 1 and to the right for filter 2. Activate the filter by pressing
the FILTER ON switch. The blue led light-pipe lights to show
that the filter is active. Check that the large LPF switch is
illuminated indicating that the power up default lo-pass filter
type is active. The sound should change to a rumbling bass
line with higher frequencies removed.
17 Sweep the filter frequency. Turn the FREQ control
clockwise and you should progressively hear higher audio
frequencies returning to the mix. This control sweeps the effect
from low to high frequency.
18 Adjust the filter resonance. Slowly turn the
RESONANCE control clockwise as you sweep the frequency
and you should hear the ‘Q’ or ‘sharpness’ of the effect
changing from subtle to drastic as the roll-off knee sharpens
and frequency boost is added.
Increasing resonance boosts a narrow band of
selected frequencies. Make sure you reduce the channel
gain if the red peak meters start to flash.
19 Change the filter type. Press one or any combination of
the large HPF, BPF and LPF filter type switches to experiment
with different performance effects. For example pressing HPF
and LPF together produces a notch effect. Once you are
familiar with the creative power of these filters you can apply
them to your performance. More information is available later.
