Pioneer DJM-800 Type of SOUND-COLOR Effect, Using SOUND-COLOR Effects, Harmonic, Sweep, Crush

EFFECT FUNCTIONS (TYPE OF SOUND-COLOR EFFECT/USING SOUND-COLOR EFFECTS)

TYPE OF SOUND-COLOR EFFECT

1. HARMONIC

Detects deviation of the input sound from absolute pitch and automatically compensates to the nearest key.

By rotating the dial, the pitch/key can be adjusted within a range of ±6 half-tones.

COLOR
Input sound	Compensated sound
LOW	HI

2. SWEEP

This function shifts the frequence of the filter, producing large changes in tone. When the dial is rotated clockwise, the effect produced is that of a band-pass filter, while rotating the dial counterclockwise produces the effect of a notch filter.

Notch filter			Band pass filter
	COLOR
1 kHz	LOW	HI	1 kHz
Frequency			Frequency

3. CRUSH

This effect slightly “crushes” the sound, applying a certain

accent to the sound.

Sound-color effects are linked to the COLOR effect parameter dial for each channel.

* Sound-color effects are not applied to microphone inputs.

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).

4. FILTER

The filter frequency is shifted, resulting in strong changes to the tone.

Rotating the dial to the right produces high-pass filter effects, while rotating the dial to the left produces low-pass filter effects.

Low-pass filter	High-pass filter
COLOR
LOW	HI
Frequency	Frequency

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.
