The effect is produced only while scratching.

BUBBLE

Press one of the DIGITAL JOG BREAK buttons (JET, ROLL, WAH) during playback while in CDJ mode.

The selected effect will appear in the display, and the effect will change corresponding to the degree of rotation of the jog dial.

TEMPO control slider

Change playback speed

Sliding the TEMPO Control slider forward and back.

By sliding the lever towards you (+) increases the tempo; sliding the lever away from you (–) decreases the tempo. The center detent posi- tion is the normal speed.

The rate of change in playback speed (tempo) is shown in the dis- play.

The playback speed can be changed without changing the pitch (”Applying master tempo”).

7Selecting range of tempo adjustment

Press the TEMPO ±6/±10/±16/WIDE button.

Each time the button is pressed, the variable range of the TEMPO control slider alternates between ±6 %, ±10 %, ±16 % and WIDE. The tempo can be adjusted in units of 0.02 % when set to ±6 %, units of

0.05% when set to either ±10 % or ±16 %, and units of 0.5 % when set to WIDE.

The variable tempo range for MP3s is ±6 %/±10 %/±16 %.

The set variable range will be shown in the display.

The tempo range will be saved in memory when the power is turned off.

Applying master tempo

Press the MASTER TEMPO button during playback.

The MASTER TEMPO button and the [MT] indicator in the display will light, and the speed (tempo) can be changed using the TEMPO con- trol slider without changing the pitch (key).

Due to digital processing of the sound, the sound quality will drop.

The setting will be saved in memory when the power is turned off.

JET

Changes the delay time in response to rotation of the jog dial, and adds a short delay sound to the original, thereby causing an interfer- ence between the sounds and creating a “swooshing” effect.

The delay time corresponds to the jog dial’s rotation and changes between 0 ms (when jog dial is completely stopped) to a maxi- mum of 3 ms.

When removing hand from jog dial, the sound will gradually settle back into the original sound.

The setting is canceled when the disc is ejected.

ROLL

The playback sound will be affected with pitch and playback time var- ied in response to the rotation of the jog dial.

When the jog dial was touched, audio will be loop-played then rolled.

When removing hand from jog dial, the sound will gradually settle back into the original sound.

The setting is canceled when the disc is ejected.

ROLL cannot be performed during reverse playback.

WAH

Adds a filter with cutoff frequency that changes in response to jog dial rotation.

The filter changes into a high-pass filter when the jog dial is turned clockwise; the filter changes into a low-pass filter when the jog dial is turned counterclockwise.

When removing hand from jog dial, the sound gradually settle back into the original sound.

The setting is canceled when the disc is ejected.

[HOLD function]

Used to maintain the effect that has been created by the turning of the jog dial even after the jog dial’s rotation is stopped.

Press the HOLD button during usage of Digital Jog Break or Scratch Jog Effect function.

If you remove hand from jog dial, the effect at that point will be maintained.

When the HOLD function is turned ON, even if another effect is selected, the setting prior to the new effect selection will be pre- served in memory so long as hold is not turned off.
