AXIS 8

A.D. (Artificial-Dissemination) – Reduces the bit rate of the music creating increasing distortion with intensity.

CHOP – This effect works best when the Beatkeeper™ is properly aligned. Chop breaks up the music by turning the volume on and off based upon the BPM of the Beatkeeper™. First activation of the effect plays 1/8th note or half of every beat. In the BPM display will indicate an 1-8 which means one measure (4 beats) of music has been broken into 8 parts. Rotation of the wheel to the left decreases the parts to 1-4, 1-2, and 1-

1.At 1-1 the music plays for 4 beats then is silent. Rotating to the right breaks up the music into 1-16, 1-

32, 1-64, then smaller increments making for another interesting effect. When the effect is first activated the music will play the section then turn off for a section. This is important because you can reverse the sections that are off and on by activating the effect in the other section. If you deactivate the effect then turn it on again it remembers the last set parameter.

PAN - This effect also works best when the Beatkeeper™ is properly aligned. Auto-pan alternates playing right and left audio based upon the BPM of the Beatkeeper™. First activation of the effect plays alternates on 1/8th notes or half of every beat. In the BPM display will indicate an 1-8 which means one measure (4 beats) of music has been broken into 8 parts. Rotation of the wheel to the left decreases the parts to 1-4, 1-2, and 1-1. Rotating to

the right makes faster changes of 1-16, 1-32, 1-64, then smaller increments making for another interesting effect. If you deactivate the effect then turn it on again it remembers the last set parameter.

Isolate - This isolation filter lets you play only a specific frequency of the music. Rotation of the wheel moves the frequency played through the audio spectrum. If you turn off the effect then on again it remembers the last set parameter.

KILL- This elimination filter lets you play all but a specified frequency. Rotation of the wheel moves the frequency not played through the audio spectrum. If you turn off the effect then on again it remembers the last set parameter.

Reverse- Plays the music backwards. When the effect is activated the music will play backwards until it is released. There is no limit to the amount of time you can reverse.

Bleep- The effect activates as soon as the button is pressed. It is a temporary (forward) reverse function for “bleeping” dirty lyrics or creating interesting effects. By pressing the button the music plays backwards from buffer until released or until the buffer runs out. When the button is release, or the buffer runs out, the audio plays forward form the point where the music would have

been if the button was never pressed. For example, is the effect is activated for 5 seconds at 10 seconds into a song, forward play will resume at 15 seconds. The buffer time for this operation is variable depending upon the number of loops set and anti-shock buffer available.
