HINT: BOOTH OUTPUT IS USED BY SOME DJS TO RUN MONITOR SPEAKERS IN THE DJ BOOTH. IT IS ALSO USED AS A SECOND ZONE OR AMP OUTPUT.
NOTE: REC OUTPUT HAS NO LEVEL CONTROL. LEVEL IS CONTROLLED WITH THE CHANNEL SLIDES OF THE SELECTED CHANNEL(S). TONE IS CONTROLLED BY THE EQUALIZERS.
10.TALKOVER: The purpose of the talkover is to allow the program playing to be muted so that the MIC may be heard above the music. The MIC/
TALKOVER SWITCH (42) controls MIC 1 and MIC 2 and has 3 settings:
•When MIC/TALKOVER (42) is in the BOTTOM position, MIC 1, MIC 2 and TALKOVER are all OFF.
•When MIC/TALKOVER (42) is in the CENTER position, MIC 1 and MIC 2 are ON. MIC INDICATOR (43) glows when TALKOVER is OFF.
•When MIC/TALKOVER SWITCH (42) is in the TOP position, MIC 1, MIC 2 and TALKOVER are ON and the volume of all sources except MIC inputs is lowered by 16 dB.
11.TREBLE (46) and BASS (47) controls allow you to adjust the tone of MIC 1 and MIC 2. MIC 1 LEVEL (44) controls the level of MIC 1 while MIC 2 LEVEL (45) controls the level of MIC 2.
12.CUE: By connecting a set of headphones to the HEADPHONE (22) jack, you can monitor any or all channels. Press CUE ASSIGN (48) buttons for Channels 1 through 4 and select the Channel(s) to be monitored. The respective LED indicators will glow. Use the CUE LEVEL (49) control to adjust the cue volume without changing the overall mix. By moving the CUE PGM PAN (50) control to the LEFT you will be able to monitor the assigned cue signal. Moving the control to the RIGHT allows you to monitor PGM (program) output.
13.DISPLAY: The DISPLAY (51) indicates the MASTER output of the left and right levels.
PMX-1800 ONLY:
1.ECHO SECTION: Echo can be applied by pressing the ECHO (52) button (the LED will light). You can adjust the LEVEL (53), REPEAT (54) and DELAY (55) parameters of the echo by using the ECHO controls. To turn the echo off, push the ECHO (52) button again (the LED will turn off).
2.SOUND EFFECTS SECTION: Six different sound effects (UFO, TRON BLAST, SIREN, GAS, MACHINE GUN & EMERGENCY) may be added to your mix by depressing the SOUND EFFECTS CONTROL BUTTONS (56). The volume of the effects can be adjusted using the EFFECTS LEVEL CONTROL (57). The pitch of the effects can be increased or decreased using the EFFECTS SPEED CONTROL (58).

SAMPLE RECORDING:
1.Put the MODE SELECTOR (53) switch into the WRITE position.
2.Select the sample source by pressing the appropriate CUE/SAMPLE (48) assign button(s).
3.Select the “record to” memory bank by pressing the proper MEMORY BANK (52) button.
4.The
HINT: YOU CAN RECORD A SAMPLE WITH THE PITCH CONTROL IN ANY POSITION. WHATEVER THAT POSITION IS WILL BECOME NORMAL SOUND. IF YOU START TO RECORD A SAMPLE WITH THE PITCH CONTROL SET AT “MINIMUM” THAT WILL BECOME YOUR NORMAL PITCH. BY INCREASING THE PITCH TO “MAXIMUM” DURING PLAYBACK, THE PITCH EFFECT WILL DOUBLE IN SPEED. RECORDING AT “MAXIMUM” AND LOWERING TO “MINIMUM” DURING PLAYBACK WILL DO EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE.
5.Tapping the START/STOP (55) button begins the sampling process (the SAMPLER INDICATOR will “glow” RED). Tapping the START/STOP (55) button a second time ends the sample (the SAMPLER INDICATOR will turn off). If you do not tap the START/STOP (55) button a second time, the sampling process stops automatically after 2, 4 or 12 seconds depending on which MEMORY BANK (52) was selected.
3.Tapping the START/STOP (55) button with the MODE SELECTOR (53) switch in the SINGLE position causes sampler to play back one time (the SAMPLER INDICATOR will “glow” GREEN). Each push of the START/ STOP (55) button restarts the sample from the beginning. Rapid pressing of the START/STOP (55) button will cause a stuttering effect. Once the sample has started playback and the START/STOP (55) button is not pushed a second time, the sample will play to the end and stop.
4.Tapping the START/STOP (55) button with the MODE SELECTOR (53) switch in the REPEAT position causes the sample to play continuously. The START/STOP (55) button acts an ON/OFF switch. The first push starts the sample, the second push stops it. The SAMPLER LEVEL (56) controls the level of the sample. Press the SAMPLER CUE (57) to hear the sample that is being CUED up.
ROBO PLAY:
1.With the ROBO PLAY (58) button OFF and the MODE SELECTOR (53) switch in either the SINGLE or REPEAT mode, pressing the START/ STOP (55) button will cause the sample to play along with the selected source.
2.When the ROBO PLAY (58) button is in the ON position starting the sampler mutes the selected source. When the sample ends, the source automatically turns back on.
BATTERY BACKUP:
BATTERY BACKUP: The
retain samples. To activate this feature, a 9 volt battery (not included) should be connected to the BATTERY HOLDER (59) located on the rear panel. This enables the storage of samples in memory. When the unit is unplugged, the battery backup retains the samples for future use.
NOTE: IF THE UNIT IS UNPLUGGED WITH NO BATTERY ATTACHED, ALL SAMPLES WILL BE LOST.
