D Beam functions
The D Beam Controller is no doubt the most exciting and spectacular performance function of your

DJ GEAR
Vinyl RPM: allows you to simulate the sound you hear when manually turning a vinyl record to locate (cue) the position where you wish to start playback.
Cutting: this is very powerful filter effect that allows you to suppress the high frequencies in a rhythmic way (like a DJ does sometimes).
TTMotor: simulates the effect you hear when you suddenly stop a turntable: the playback speed decreases, while the pitch drops and the sound becomes muffled.
Scratch: the D Beam Controller can be used for adding scratch noises. You know what that is, don’t you…?
Tape RWD: allows you add the sound you hear when you rewind a cassette tape without stop- ping playback (the music plays backwards and at a high speed).
SOUND EFX
Here, you can select various “noises” to be added | Chimes, Boeeen, Buble, Pour Btle, Fng Snaps, |
to your music simply by moving your hand over | Voice One, Voice Aou, Explsion, Gun Shot, Engine, |
the D Beam. We will not try to describe them: | Applause, Laughing, Train Hrn, Bird, Dog, |
just try them out! | Seashore, Rain. |
