USER MANUAL
• ZIP EFFECT: This effect can be used in FADER and AUTO mode:
• FADER MODE: Press the Zip effect button and move the cross fader
from one end to the other. The pitch of the music will lower until it
becomes distorted. When the cross fader lever reaches the other side,
the other player starts automatically. Depending on the position of the
cross fader lever, the effects display shows a number from 0 to 99.
• AUTO MODE: While the music is playing, press the "Zip effect" button.
The pitch of the music lowers automatically to zero until the other
player starts. The length of the complete fade over is shown on the
effects display. It can be adapted with the "preset" buttons (24) and/or
the "time parameter knob"(33).
• ROLL EFFECT: This effect can be used in FADER and AUTO mode:
• FADER MODE: Press the Roll effect button and move the cross fader
from one end to the other. First the music will be looped in 1/1beats
(effects display shows "1") after this the loop is reduced to ½beats
(display shows "2") until it finally becomes a loop with a length of
1/8beats (display shows "4"). When the cross fader lever reaches the
other side, the volume decreases and the other player starts playing.
Note that the "presets" and "time parameter knob" are not accessible!
• AUTO MODE: While the music is playing, press the "Roll effect"
button. The music starts playing in a beat synchronized loop until the
other player starts. The length of the complete fade over is shown on
the effects display. It can be adapted with the "preset" buttons (24)
and/or the "time parameter knob" (33). Depending on the length of the
fade over you selected, the roll pattern will be adapted and divided in
1/1, ½, ¼ and 1/8 beat loops.
17. CUE MIXING KNOB: With this control you can mix the master output with the cue
signals from the different channels and the effect unit. Turn this control complete
to the right if only want to hear the master output. Turn it completely to the left and
you will only hear the cue signals that are selected with the cue buttons (21, 39). At
any position in between you will hear a mix of both signals.
18. SPLIT CUE BUTTON: Normally you hear a stereo signal in your headphones.
When you press this button, you will hear 2 different mono signals:
• LEFT: Cue signals, selected with the cue buttons (21, 39).
• RIGHT: Signal on the master output.
Note that the Cue mixing knob must be in the center position!
19. CUE LEVEL: Used to adjust the output level of the Headphones. Note that, due to
the high output power, you can permanently damage your ears! Do not play at high
volume!
20. HEADPHONES OUTPUT: Used to connect any headphones with ¼" jack plug.
21. EFFECTS CUE: This is the cue button for the effects unit. When switched on you
can check the effect before it is mixed in your master mix.
22. EFFECTS ON/OFF BUTTON: This button switches the output of the effects unit on
and off.
23. TAP BUTTON: Almost all effects are beat synchronized. Therefore the SMX-1 has
a full automatic built-in beat counter. In some rare cases the automatic beat
counter doesn't count as it should do (beats are out of the normal range or there's
simply no beat to detect). In these cases you can help the beat counter by
manually tapping this button to the rhythm of the beat. When you use this button it
starts flashing to indicate that the automatic beat counter is shut off. If you want the
automatic beat counter to take over again, simply push for some seconds on the
TAP button until it stops flashing.
