Effects Display, BPM Source and Match Indicator
The effects display shows the name of the
current effect, BPM, MIDI Beat-Clock source,
Beat Multiplier and Time. A bar graph represents
the effect time relative to its range. If no effect
is selected, the information for the last effect is
displayed. The display for the Robot and Reverb is
somewhat different.
There four possible BPM sources:
(
*
) Manual Tap
(
S
) Serato DJ
(
A
)
USB A
Beat-Clock,
(
B
)
USB B
Beat-Clock.
To change the BPM source, press and hold the
TAP
button and use the
BEAT
joystick to step through the
sources. If a new BPM is manually tapped in or the time is manually altered, the BPM source returns to (
*
)
Manual.
The effect time is normally a product of the BPM and the Beat Multiplier. If the right arrow
or left arrow
appears, there is an inequality between the BPM*Beat and Time. The arrow indicates which way to
adjust the Beat Multiplier to correct the inequality and get the closest possible time. If the BPM source is
displayed (
*
,
S
,
A
,
B
), the BPM*Beat matches the displayed Time.
For example, 120 BPM with a 4:1 Beat Multiplier would result in an effect Time of 2000 ms. If the Time is
adjusted to a different value, such as 2097 ms, an arrow indicates that the product of the displayed BPM
and Beat Multiplier does not result in the displayed effect Time. For this example, 2000 ms is below 2097
ms. In this case, moving the
BEAT
joystick left or down snaps to 120 * 4:1 and changes the time to 2000
ms.
A flashing Beat Multiplier indicates that the Time required to match the current BPM*Beat product is out
of range. For an echo example, if a BPM of 60 is used with a Beat Multiplier of 8, the resulting time is 8000
milliseconds. If the multiplier is set to 16, the resulting time would be 16000 milliseconds, which is out of
range. In this case, the time remains at 8000 milliseconds and the multiplier flashes.
Effects Synchronization
This mixer can synchronize its internal effects to four sources as described in the preceding section. The
desired clock source is selected by holding down the
TAP
button and pushing the
BEAT
joystick up/right or
down/left. The selected source (
*
,
S
,
A
,
B
) is displayed just following the BPM number. Manually tapping a
BPM forces the selection to (
*
) Manual.
Pressing a
FLEXFX
button with no other
FLEXFX
button engaged, with a BPM-tagged song playing in
Serato DJ on that channel, forces the clock source to (
S
) Serato DJ. The mixer will continue to track the
Serato DJ BPM until a new BPM is manually tapped or a new clock source is selected. When one of
S
,
A
, or
B
is selected, the clock source indicator will flash when the mixer is actively following the selected
clock.
At any point the BPM and BPM source can be locked. By clicking in on the
BEAT
joystick, the current
BPM is frozen and the BPM source is set to (*) Manual and locked. The BPM label on the display flashes
to indicate that the BPM source has been locked. The mixer will not change the BPM or BPM source until
the user manually enters new BPM or time information, changes the BPM source, or unlocks the BPM by
clicking in once more on the joystick.
Regardless of the clock source, the mixer broadcasts the current MIDI Beat-Clock to both USB ports
when the Send MIDI Beat Clock option is selected in the MIDI Configuration page of the driver control
panel. Both USB ports will also echo out any system real-time messages from the host computer.
