FEATURES
7 3-band beat effector function
The highly acclaimed auto BPM counter/beat effect
in DJM-500 has been substantially improved. Effects
can now be applied only to the sound in the selected
band and be adjusted in time with the tempo (BPM)
of the tune. This provides greater means of expres-
sion than the previous effector that operated across
the entire band.
7 DIGITAL JOG BREAK function
The jog dial gives you real-time control over the
sound effects. Eight seconds of jog operation is
stored to allow replay. A total of 25 effects including
a beat effect are provided.
7 High-performance 3-band Isolator
Function [Fourth-order filter (­24 dB/
oct.)]
Level control is possible between +6 dB to ­
and a
separation of up to ­24 dB/oct. for each band ensure
accurate sound reproduction.
7 Input and Effect Out Peak Level Moni-
tor
Since both input and effect output levels can be visu-
ally assessed, precise level settings can be made with-
out any time loss.
7 MIDI In/Out Function
External MIDI signals (timing clock signals) make it pos-
sible to synchronize the beat effector and convert BPM
values that have been manually set or automatically
measured from the music to MIDI timing clock signals
to operate external sequencers or similar instruments.
7 High-quality Design
The effector uses 20-bit A/D, D/A (48 kHz sampling) con-
version and 24-bit DSP.
CARACTÉRISTIQUES
DOMINANTES
7 Fonction d'effets de mesure à 3 bandes
Le compteur de mesure BPM automatique / les effets
de mesure hautement acclamés dans la DJM-500 ont
été superbement améliorés. Les effets peuvent dès à
présent être appliqués uniquement au son dans la
bande sélectionnée et être ajustés en temps réel avec
la mesure (BPM) du morceau. Ceci permet de disposer
d'une plus grande marge d'expression en comparaison
de la boîte d'effets précédente qui agissait sur la totalité
de la bande.
7 Fonction de coupure numérique par
molette pas-à-pas DIGITAL JOG BREAK
La molette pas-à-pas vous permet de contrôler les effets
sonores en temps réel. Huit secondes de commande
de la molette pas-à-pas sont conservées en mémoire à
des fins de reproduction. Un nombre total de 25 effets
sont à votre disposition parmi lesquels un effet de
mesure.
7 Fonction séparateur à 3 bandes à hautes
performances filtre de quatrième ordre
(­24 dB / oct.)
La possibilité de réglage de niveau dans les limites de
+6 dB et ­
et une séparation jusqu'à ­ 24 dB / oct. sur
chaque bande permettent une reproduction précise des
sons.
7 Contrôleur des niveaux de crête d'entrée
et de sortie d'effets
Étant donné que les niveaux d'entrée et de sortie d'effets
peuvent être évalués plus facilement, un réglage plus
précis des niveaux peut être réalisé sans perte de temps.
7 Fonction d'entrée/sortie MIDI
Les signaux MIDI externes (signaux d'horloge de syn-
chronisation) permettent de synchroniser la boîte
d'effets de mesure et de convertir les valeurs BPM qui
ont été introduites manuellement ou mesurées
automatiquement à partir de la musique en signaux
d'horloge de synchronisation MIDI utilisés pour com-
mander des séquenceurs externes ou des instruments
de même type.
7 Une conception hautement raffinée
La boîte d'effets se sert d'une conversion 20 bits A-N,
N-A (échantillonnage de 48 kHz) et DSP 24 bits.

QUICK OPERATION GUIDE
ADJUSTING THE INPUT LEVEL
Input signals to the input terminal and turn
the INPUT LEVEL dial to the position right
before the "OVER" (red) indicator lights.
USING THE ISOLATOR
1. Use the three dials, LOW, MID and HI to set respective levels. (Each ­
setting
produces no sound.)
2. Press the ISOLATOR lever towards you (ON position) to start operation; release
it and it returns to the center position (OFF position). At the center position (OFF
position), the signal is output as is regardless of dial setting. Press the lever
away from you to lock it in position so that the isolator operates also when the
lever is released.
USING BEAT EFFECTS
1. Select BPM measurement mode.
Press the BPM MODE button to light an indica-
tor (AUTO, MIDI or TAP) on the indicator panel.

corresponding indicator lights.
4. Select the beat with which the effect
is to be synchronized.
Press a beat button (1/4, 1/2, 3/4, 1/1, 2/1 or 4/1)
to light the desired button.
5. Apply an effect.
Press the lever towards you (ON position) to start
operation; release it and it returns to the center
position (OFF position). In the center position
(OFF position), the original sound is not affected.
Press the lever away from you to lock it in posi-
tion so that the beat effect is applied also when
the lever is released.
TIME/BPM Dial
Set the desired effect time as in step 4.
Turn the TIME/BPM dial while holding down the
TAP/SHIFT button to make the desired BPM set-
ting. When also the BPM MODE button is held
down, BPM can be set in 0.1 increments.
TAP button
BPM can be manually adjusted by adjusting the beat
(quarter notes) and hitting this key two times or more.
MIX Dial
Sets the balance between the
original sound and effects.
DEPTH Dial
Sets the parameter of each ef-
fect.

Turn the Jog dial either while pressing the le-
ver towards you or pressing it away from you
(ON position). As the jog dial is turned, param-
eters change gradually and the selected effect
is applied. When the dial rotation is stopped,
the parameter returns to normal.
When the lever is pressed towards you, releas-
ing it causes it to automatically return to the
center (OFF position).

When this button is pressed and is lit, the effect is
maintained when jog dial rotation is stopped.
Memory (M) Button/PLAY Button
Jog dial operation for up to 8 seconds can be stored
in memory by holding down the Memory (M) but-
ton during Jog dial operation. Jog dial operation
stored in the memory can be recalled with the PLAY
button.
DEPTH Dial
