14 Changing the crossfader curve. The little switch to the

left of the crossfader sets which curve is active. In the normal

up position the signal dips by 6dB at the middle position for

smooth fading between tracks. Press the switch for a dipless

response where the signal starts to dip only once the fader has

passed the mid position. This is better suited to scratch or cut

mixing where you layer the sounds.

15 Crossfader mixing. At this point you may wish to plug

in a pair of turntables and experiment with DJ mixing. Plug into

CH3 and CH4 phono inputs if your turntables require RIAA

equalisation. If not, plug into the line inputs. Remember to

connect the turntable earth leads to the console chassis earth

terminal. Use CUE to set up the channel gain as you did in

step 7. Route CH3 to X and CH4 to Y of the crossfader.

16 Adding VCF filter effects. Each side of the crossfader

features a stereo Voltage Controlled Filter which presents the

DJ with a unique set of live performance tools to create subtle

or startling tonal effects. With the signal assigned to the Y side

of the crossfader, and the crossfader moved fully to the right,

the music is routed to the mix and should be heard on the

headphones. Press the Y FILTER switch to route the signal

through the analogue filter section. The blue led lights to show

that the filter is active. Check that the large LPF switch is

illuminated indicating that the power up default lo-pass filter

type is active. The sound should change to a rumbling bass

line with higher frequencies removed.

17 Sweep the filter frequency. Turn the VCF control

clockwise and you should progressively hear higher audio

frequencies returning to the mix. This control sweeps the effect

from low to high frequency.

18 Adjust the filter resonance. Slowly turn the

RESONANCE control clockwise as you sweep the frequency

and you should hear the ‘Q’ or ‘sharpness’ of the effect

changing from subtle to drastic as the roll-off knee sharpens

and frequency boost is added.

Increasing resonance boosts a narrow band of

selected frequencies. Make sure you reduce the channel

gain if the red peak meters start to flash.

19 Change the filter type. Press one or any combination of

the large HPF, BPF and LPF filter type switches to experiment

with different performance effects. For example pressing HPF

and LPF together produces a notch effect. Once you are

familiar with the creative power of these filters you can apply

them to your performance. More information is available later.
