41. AUX RETURN

This adjusts the processed signal level coming in from your external effects processor via the aux return [9] jacks. Use it to adjust the returned signal level going onto the main mix bus.

42. CROSSFADER CONTOUR

Use this to adjust how fast or slow the crossfader [43] responds to movement.

In the slow position, the crossfader responds in a linear fashion, increasing from A to B at the same rate across its length of travel.

In the fast position, the crossfader responds logarith- mically, increasing from A to B very quickly, and then changing very little for the remainder of the fader’s travel.

In the fast position, crossfading occurs within

the first 5 mm of luxurious fader travel. This

is useful for cutting, where you can mix a scratch over existing program material. In

this style, you can keep the fader either at the complete edge of the fader’s travel, or only a very small amount from that, and a very steep fade slope is desired. Then you can quickly “crab” the fader to cut the scratch signal into the program signal.

Adjust the control between the two extremes to get the crossfader response that works best for your style.

43. CROSSFADER

The signal level of programs assigned to A or B by their program assign [37] switches will be affected by the position of the crossfader.

This crossfader is a high-quality infinium™ contact- free optical digital fader, designed to last the lifetime of the d.4 Pro with no degradation in quality.

The sensitivity of the travel can be adjusted using the crossfader contour [42] control.

You can also adjust the tension of the crossfader movement to suit your delicate taste, by following these steps:

1.Turn off the AC power, and remove the AC power cord.

2.Move the crossfader all the way to the left.

3.Remove the fader cap (knob) by grasping it firmly and pulling it straight up.

4.Use a small slot-head screwdriver to turn the screw located through the hole on the left side of the crossfader slot. You might need a flashlight to make sure you are lined up on the

screw. Rotate the

44. FILTER TYPE

Manual

Each program has a filter [34] switch that allows you

 

to choose if the program goes through a filter (X or Y)

 

before the program is added to the main mix.

 

This 4-position rotary switch allows you to choose the

 

filter type, or bypass it:

 

•HP (high-pass): Frequencies below the filter frequency setting are attenuated.

•BP (band-pass): Frequencies either side of the filter frequency setting are attenuated.

•LP (low-pass): Frequencies above the filter frequency setting are attenuated.

•BYP (bypass): No filter is inserted into the signal

45.FILTER RESONANCE

This control will boost the filter’s resonance to provide up to 15 dB of boost at the filter frequency. The filter has a gradually narrowing Q as resonance increases.

46. FILTER FREQUENCY

This allows you to adjust the filter’s frequency, with a range between 40 Hz and 16 kHz.

For example, if you want a filter that drops off the lows below 80 Hz, select the filter type to be high-pass, and adjust the frequency to 80 Hz.

You might find it fun to set the resonance, then rotate the frequency while using the bump switch (see below) to cut the filter in and out. The filter controls are positioned closely to allow this easy kind of DJ play.

47. FILTER TOGGLE

This switch selects one of three possible positions:

On: The filter is engaged.

Bypass: The filter is bypassed and has no effect on the audio.

Bump: This spring-loaded momentary position allows you to quickly engage or disengage the filter.
