4.5 EFFECT Controls

EFFECTS CONTROLS

SCS.4DJ has dual EFFECTS processors (Deck A & B), with each capable of processing audio on an single deck. The four available EFFECTS are FILTER, FLANGE, SLICE and DELAY. Each button turns the selected effect on or off, or instantly switches to a different EFFECT while turning the last one off. When one of the EFFECT BUTTONs is pressed, an LED turns on and the effect is ACTIVE.

Each of the EFFECTS onboard SCS.4DJ automatically sync to the beat of your music, and the LCD panel displays your changes in real time, making it easy to remember your “perfect” settings. The TIME/RATE controls allow you to adjust your EFFECTS time in relation to the beat, with 16, 8, 4, 2, 1, ½, ¼, 1/8, 1/16 beat multipliers available. The FREQ/AMOUNT knob controls the amount of the effect in relation to the original audio, the frequency of the filter cutoff, and the “chaos” of the SLICE effect.

The Effect Knobs change the following parameters per effect:

Effect

TIME/RATE

FREQ/AMOUNT

Filter

Rate (SPEED)

Cutoff (Lowpass/Highpass)/Resonance

Flange

Rate (SPEED)

Depth (Delay and Feedback)

Slice

The available EFFECTS on SCS.4DJ are:

FILTER

A FILTER is a kind of EQ, letting only high or low frequencies through. The FILTER moves based on the BPM of the playing track, and can be used as a transition effect between songs in place of the EQ controls. In FILTER, the TIME/RATE controls the rate of the LFO (low-frequency oscillator) on cutoff frequency set by the FREQ/AMOUNT knob. The FREQ/AMOUNT control is a combination high-pass (lets only treble through) and low-pass (lets only bass through) filter. When the FREQ/ AMOUNT knob is towards the left it acts as a low pass filter. When the FREQ/AMOUNT knob is towards the right it acts as a high pass filter. Resonance changes away from the center position of the knob depending on the cutoff frequency.
