Power Switch - SYNQ SMX-1 Manual Del Usuario

USER MANUAL
reads "0%) cutting time is zero so no cutting effect will be heard. Turn the
"level parameter knob to the right, the cutting time becomes bigger until
you only hear very small slices of the original sound.
Hint: this effect needs some practice! You obtain the best results with constant beats,
very small cutting cycles (1/4 and 1/2beats) and larger cutting times of 50% and more.
• PITCH SHIFTER: Shifts the pitch of the sound up or down while the beat
stays unchanged. (in fact this is the opposite of what the "master tempo"
on certain CD-players tries to obtain: same pitch with changing
speed/beat) With the preset buttons(24) you can select 5 predefined pitch
shifts. (preset "8" is 0%, the music stays unchanged) With the "Time
parameter knob"(33) you can change the pitch in a range from -100% to
+100% in steps of 1%. With the "Level parameter knob"(32) you can
change the balance between the original and the shifted sound.
Hint: use the pitch shifter on a micro and you have a voice changer. (with pitch at -100%
you obtain voices from the "dark side of this world"
32. LEVEL (Y) PARAMETER KNOB: Used to adjust the "Y" parameter of the effects.
Please read section 31 while its function is different for each effect.
33. TIME (X) PARAMETER KNOB: Used to adjust the "X" parameter of the effects.
Mostly this is the time parameter but please read section 31 for more information.
This knob has an integrated push button that can be used in two ways:
• Push the knob while you select one of the "presets"(24) to obtain extra
presets: 1/4beat – 1/2beat – 1/1beat.
• Push the knob while turning it: in most cases you will be able to change
the time parameter of the effects more rapidly.
34. POWER SWITCH: Used to switch the mixer on and off.
35. LED VU METER: Accurate level meter with peak level memory: peak levels stay
on the display for a short time. Very important: If you want a nice and clean
sound, please pay attention the VU-meter. Most DJs use this important instrument
as a "flashy light effect". They try to push the meter constantly to its maximum.
Let's be clear: a good DJ wants a clean, undistorted sound. Levels over 0dB mean
"distortion" so please keep an eye on the meter! ☺
36. VU METER SELECTOR SWITCH: Used to select the working mode of the VU-
meter(35).
• L/R-mode: the VU-meter shows the stereo master signal on both led bars.
• CUE/PGM-mode: the VU-meter shows the master signal on one led bar
and a selected CUE-signal(39) on the other led bar. This makes it possible
to compare both signals.
37. MONO/STEREO SWITCH: Used to switch the master output in mono or stereo.
38. MASTER BALANCE: Adjusts the left-right balance of the master output.
39. CUE / BPM COUNTER SELECTOR: Used to select the source (CH-1 to CH-4) to
be monitored via the headphones output. Pressing multiple Cue-buttons makes it
possible to derive a mixed sound from the selected sources. The BPM of the
selected channel (CH-1 to CH-4) is displayed on the CUE BPM display (27).
Attention: the BPM will not be displayed correctly if 2 or more channels have been
selected!
40. 3-BAND TONE CONTROLS: The frequency of each channel can be controlled
separately over a range from -30dB to +10dB: Treble@13kHz ~ Middle@1kHz ~
Bass@70Hz. In the center position the tone control is flat. (switched off)
41. INPUT SOURCE SELECTOR: Used to select the correct input on each channel:
Phono, line, aux or mic. On some channels there are additional input selectors on
the back, near the input connectors!
Hint: Line, Aux, CD, Tuner, etc... are different names for inputs with almost the same signal levels.
