Getting the Most out of DJS DJ System

Getting the Most out of DJS Explains the system structure that needs to be in place to DJ with DJS. 1-1 DJ System When Using the DJS Mixer Function Outputs the audio for speakers and monitor separately. Doing so requires a computer equipped with at least 2 audio output systems, either internal or external. If your computer only has 1 audio output system, you will have to install additional audio devices, such as a sound card. Then connect your speakers or headphones to the computer’s audio output (for speakers, monitor) respectively. Example of connections in a 2 audio output (sound card) system Warning! Sound Card If you increase the number of sound cards Make the settings appropriate for the audio output to the audio device, such as a sound card, on the [Preference] screen. ‘9-4-2 Selecting a Sound Card’ P.101 Speaker (Left) Computer Speaker (Right) Headphones (Contd. on the next page)

Getting the Most out of DJS DJ System When Using an External Mixer You can use just DJS’s player functions (Player A, Player B, List Player) without using the DJS mixer functions. When doing so, you can output the audio of the 3 players to an external mixer. To do this, your computer needs to have a minimum of 2 or 3+ internal or external audio output systems. If the computer you are using only has 1 audio output system, you will have to install additional audio devices, such as sound cards. Then connect each of the audio outputs (for Player A, Player B &/or List Player) from your computer to the external mixer and connect the external mixer to the speakers and headphones. Example of connections in a 3 audio output (sound card) system External Mixer Switching to an External Mixer When DJS is initially installed, it is set up for using the DJS mixer functions. Consequently, if you do not wish to use DJS’s mixer functions, use the [Preference] screen to switch the settings to using an external mixer. ‘9-4-1 Switching between Internal & External Mixers’ P.100 Warning! If you increase the number of sound cards Make the settings appropriate for the audio output to the audio device, such as a sound card, on the [Preference] screen. ‘9-4-2 Selecting a Sound Card’ P.101 Sound Card Speaker (Left) Index Contents Computer Headphones Speaker (Right) DJS Ver. 1.000

Playing Sound Adjusting the Sound Quality

Playing Sound DJS enables you to change the way your music sounds, add audio effects and create a new and different atmosphere. If you perform effectively, you’ll match the mood in the room and create an excitement and feeling the original song couldn’t get. 3-1 Adjusting the Sound Quality With DJS you can adjust the quality of the sound by utilizing the equalizer function to extract any range of music (i.e. low, medium and high ranges) and making the sound of that frequency band louder or quieter. Furthermore, by using the Kill Function, you can change sound quality by cutting out any frequency band (i.e. low, medium and high ranges). Image of sound when the low range has been toned down (Equalizer Function) Volume +12dB 0dB Equalizer Function Divides one sound into the [HI], [MID] and [LOW] ranges and adjusts them. Each range of sound can be adjusted in a band of –26 dB – +12 dB. -26dB LOW MID Frequency

• When the Kill function is put into effect, the sound in the selected range is cut completely. (The figure is an image depicting what happens when the Kill function is activated for the low range).

Playing Sound Adjusting the Sound Quality 3-1-1 Making Changes To make it easier to listen to when playing music at high volumes, it is important to adjust the balance of the low, mid and high ranges. Following is an explanation by way of an example of adjusting a song on player A with the equalizer.

Click the [A/F] button on player A.

Click the [Equalizer] button on player A.

• The [Equalizer] button on player A lights up. Indicator Functions The [Equalizer] button does not just start up the [EQ (Equalizer)] screen, but plays the role of an indicator as well.

Right click the [Equalizer] button on player A.

• The [EQ (Equalizer)] screen opens. Dragging the [Channel Equalizer] of the range (HI, MID, LOW) you wish to adjust and adjust it.
• If you rotate it to the left (-), it gets quieter, to the right (+) and it gets louder (Min -26 dB, Max +12 dB).
• If you click the [+] or the [-], you can adjust them little by little.

Trim: [AUTO] Button: Adjusts the input signal level when sending sound from each player to the mixer. Automatically matches the input signal level of the clicked player to the input signal level of the player currently playing. 3-1-2 Cutting a Specific Range Use the Kill function when you wish to kill just a specific range (high, mid or low) of sound completely. Following is an explanation by way of an example of how to turn ON the Kill function for a song being played on player A.

Click the [A/F] button on player A.

Click the [KILL] button of the range of music to be cut. Turning OFF the Equalizer function When the equalizer function is ON (the indicator lit), if you click the [Equalizer] button, the equalizer functions turns OFF. (The indicator goes off/gray.) If you click it again, it turns back ON. [KILL] Button This is on both the mixer and the [EQ (Equalizer)] screen. It operates the same regardless of which you use. How to use the Kill function The Kill function is convenient to use in the following situations. (a) Cut the low range of player A and then substitute the low range of player B, thereby making it sound like a different song. (b) When mixing songs, if the same range of sound of the 2 songs makes it sound discordant, cutting the range of sound from 1 allows the songs to mix smoothly.

• The button for the range you clicked lights up and that range of sound is completely cut. Recovering a cut range of sound Click the button for the range of sound that is lit orange and it will go off.

Playing Sound Adding Effects 3-2-1 Effector Types and their Features DJS has the following Effector functions. Each kind of effect links up with the automatically detected BPM and plays the sound. DELAY Delays the music and repeats it once. This makes the music sound like it was reflected, giving it the feel of being live or indoors. Effect Times: 1/4, 2/4, 3/4, 1, 2, 4 or 8 beats Fine Tuning Units: Time delay of 1 to 3,500 msec (1 msec Steps) Ex. If set to delay for a 1/2 beat, a quarter note becomes an eighth note. Further, if matched to the delay of a 3/4 beat, it makes it a jumpy rhythm. Original (4 Beats) 1/2 Delay (8 Beats) ECHO The music is delayed and repeated a number of times, making it echo. If a vocal is given a 1 beat echo, it gives it the effect of being sung in round. Effect Times: 1/4, 2/4, 3/4, 1, 2, 4 or 8 beats Fine Tuning Units: Time delay of 1 to 3,500 msec (1 msec Steps) Ex. If during a 1 beat echo you suddenly move the channel fader to a volume of 0 and cut the input sound, the music repeats to the beat and fades out. 1 Beat 1 Beat Beat Fade Out Cut the Input Sound (Contd. on the next page)

Playing Sound Adding Effects PAN (Auto PAN) Pans the sound right and left.
