WARNING

To prevent a fire hazard, do not place any naked flame sources (such as a lighted candle) on the equipment.

D3-4-2-1-7a_A1_En

Operating Environment

Operating environment temperature and humidity:

+5 °C to +35 °C (+41 °F to +95 °F); less than 85 % RH (cooling vents not blocked)

Do not install this unit in a poorly ventilated area, or in locations exposed to high humidity or direct sunlight (or strong artificial light)

D3-4-2-1-7c*A1_EN

Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet.

D44-9-3_A1_En

POWER-CORD CAUTION

Handle the power cord by the plug. Do not pull out the plug by tugging the cord and never touch the power cord when your hands are wet as this could cause a short circuit or electric shock. Do not place the unit, a piece of furniture, etc., on the power cord, or pinch the cord. Never make a knot in the cord or tie it with other cords. The power cords should be routed such that they are not likely to be stepped on. A damaged power cord can cause a fire or give you an electrical shock. Check the power cord once in a while. When you find it damaged, ask your nearest PIONEER authorized service center or your dealer for a replacement.

S002*A1En

If the AC plug of this unit does not match the AC outlet you want to use, the plug must be removed and appropriate one fitted. Replacement and mounting of an AC plug on the power supply cord of this unit should be performed only by qualified service personnel. If connected to an AC outlet, the cut-off plug can cause severe electrical shock. Make sure it is properly disposed of after removal. The equipment should be disconnected by removing the mains plug from the wall socket when left unused for a long period of time (for example, when on vacation).

D3-4-2-2-1a_A1_En

CAUTION

The ON, STANDBY switch on this unit will not completely shut off all power from the AC outlet. Since the power cord serves as the main disconnect device for the unit, you will need to unplug it from the AC outlet to shut down all power. Therefore, make sure the unit has been installed so that the power cord can be easily unplugged from the AC outlet in case of an accident. To avoid fire hazard, the power cord should also be unplugged from the AC outlet when left unused for a long period of time (for example, when on vacation).

Quick Start Guide

Features

This unit is a remixing station for DJs consisting of four effect sections. It allows tracks to be arranged in real time with intuitive operation.

SCENE FX

Through the operation of turning the control, new sounds can be added to the currently playing track and breaks can be created at the desired positions to achieve a new sound for the track. Ten types of effects and two sub parameters can be combined to achieve highly individualistic DJ remixing performances.

ISOLATE FX

The sounds of specific instruments can be isolated and their rhythm and tone changed in the same way as a DJ mixer's EQ controls are operated. One of four effects can be selected and applied at separate rates for the low, mid and high frequencies.

X-PAD FX

By operating the touchpad, new sounds can be added to the original track in beat with the track's rhythm. Various sounds can be added to tracks and remixed using four preset internal sound sources or by loading sampled sound sources from SD memory cards.

RELEASE FX

The currently playing track and the effect sound can be transitioned smoothly simply by operating the lever. Three types of effects and a lever switch allow you to create highly individualistic arrangements.

QUANTIZE

The track's beat positions are analyzed in real time and the timing for producing the effects and the X-PAD FX sounds is adjusted automatically. The sounds can be played in tempo with the track, even when operated roughly.

remixbox

The included dedicated application software can be used to change the parameter values and types of this unit, letting you customize it to achieve an effect machine suited your personal tastes.

RMX-1000 Plug-in

A VST/AU Plug-in letting you launch the functions of this unit on a computer is provided. With it, the RMX-1000 can be used as a controller.

Connecting the input/output terminals

Be sure to turn off the power and unplug the power cord from the power outlet whenever making or changing connections.

Connect the power cord after all the connections between devices have been completed.

Be sure to use the power cord and AC adapter included with this product.

Connect this unit and the computer directly using the included USB cable.

Refer to the operating instructions for the component to be connected.

Example of connections

To connect to the [SEND] and [RETURN] terminals on the DJ mixer

To connect between the DJ player and DJ mixer

Cord hook

Hook the AC adapters' power cord here.

• The sound will be interrupted if the AC adapter's power cord is disconnected from the unit during playback.

Using the cord hook

Hook the AC adapter's power cord onto the cord hook to fasten it in place. This prevents the power cord from being accidentally pulled, causing the plug to get disconnected from the terminal.

• The sound will be interrupted if the AC adapter's power cord is disconnected from the unit during playback.
  ① As shown on the diagram below, extend the tip of the power cord to approximately the center of the rear panel of this unit and hook the power cord onto the bottom side of the cord hook.

② As shown on the diagram below, move the tip of the power cord back in the opposite direction past the top of the cord hook, and hook the power cord onto the top side of the cord hook.

③ Turn the tip of the power cord so that it is facing towards you, then turn it back to create a ring as shown in the diagram and insert it into the [DC IN] terminal of this unit.

2 DC IN terminal

Connect the included AC adapter's DC plug here. Wait until all connections of the equipment are completed before connecting the power cord.

Be sure to use the power cord and AC adapter included with this product.

3 ON, STANDBY switch

This switches this unit's power between on and standby.

4 USB port

Connect to a computer.

• Connect this unit and the computer directly using the included USB cable.
• A USB hub cannot be used.

5 OUTPUT terminals

Connect these to the external input terminals on a mixer, etc.

6 INPUT terminals

Connect these to the external output terminals on a mixer, etc. When only [L (MONO)] is connected, the sound input to [L (MONO)] is also input to [R].

CAUTION

When connecting audio cables, only connect either RCA pin jacks or phone jacks, not both.

Interconnect the equipment in such a way that the flow of the audio signals does not loop. If looped connections are made, the circuitry could produce oscillations that may damage the speakers, etc.

Examples of looped connections to be avoided

• Connecting a DJ mixer's output to this unit's input terminals then inputting this unit's output to the same DJ mixer's input terminals.
• Connecting the output from a DJ mixer's [SEND] terminals to this unit's input terminals then inputting this unit's output to input terminals other than the [RETURN] terminals on the same DJ mixer.

7 Kensington security slot

MIDI assignment map

• "CC" is the abbreviation of "control change". A control change is a type of MIDI signal used to transmit various types of control information, such as timbre, volume, etc.
• "Note" is a MIDI term used when pressing or releasing notes on a piano or other keyboard.

On this unit, values from 0 to 127 are output as CCs when controls or the [X-PAD] are operated. Also, when buttons or switches are operated, values from 0 to 127 are output as Notes.
