Switching the effect’s tempo mode
With rekordbox dj effects, there are two ways to set the beat FX tempo: with “BPM
auto mode” and “BPM tap mode”.
!
By default, the BPM auto mode is set.
BPM auto mode
The track’s BPM value is used as the basis for the effect’s tempo.
BPM tap mode
The BPM used as the base value for the effect is calculated from the interval at
which the [
BEAT
d
] button is tapped while pressing the [
SHIFT
] button.
Switching to the BPM tap mode
Press the [BEAT
d
] button while pressing the [SHIFT] button.

SHIFT

switches to the BPM auto mode.
Using the release FX

addition of an effect.

release FX.
One release FX can be used per effect unit in both the multi mode and single mode.
