Using the D Beam Controller (E-60)
The D Beam controller allows you to control various
aspects of your performance or to add something to
the music, by moving your hand, head, etc., in the air.
You only need to make sure that you do so over the
two “eyes” and within a 40cm (±16”) range. Your
movements are translated into musical expression. The
E-50 has no D Beam controller.
Let’s first try out the DJ GEAR functions.
(1) Press the D BEAM button that is assigned to the
function you wish to use (here the [DJ¥GEAR] but-
ton):
This switches on the D Beam controller, while the dis-

You can also select this page by pressing the [MENU]
button‰ [D¥BEAM] field‰ [DJ¥GEAR] field. But the
above method is a lot faster.
(2) Start playback of a Music Style (page 22) or song
(page 35).
(3) Move your hand towards and away from the D
Beam’s “eyes”.
What you hear now is the “VinylRPM” effect. Now
let’s do some scratching…
(4) Press the [SCRATCH] field.
(5) Again move your hand towards and away from the
D Beam.
Now you should hear a scratch sound.
Try out some other effects by pressing the
[SOUND¥EFX], [INSTRUMENTS] and [CONTROL] fields
and selecting one of the available options.
