Using Digital Jog Break
During playback, press one of the DIGITAL JOG BREAK
buttons (JET, ZIP, WAH); in the display, the indicator cor-
responding to the selected effect will flash, and the ef-
fect will be applied to the sound in proportion to the
amount the jog dial is rotated.
÷ When the jog dial is released, the sound will gradu-
ally return to the original source sound alone.
7 What is JET?
JET means to change the delay time by rotating the jog
dial, thus mixing a short delay with the playback sound.
Conventional DJ technique has been to use 2 players,
starting the same track simultaneously on both players,
then introducing a slight delay on one of the players,
mixing the two sounds so as to produce the effect of a
"jet engine." This function allows you to produce this
sound effect easily using a single player.
7 What is ZIP?
The pitch of the playback sound is changed in accord-
ance with the rotation of the jog dial, allowing you to
radically change the tonal pitch of the playback sound.
When the dial is held rotated in the decreasing direc-
tion, a sound can be created virtually indistinguishable
from stopping the rotation of an analog record.
7 What is WAH?
When the jog dial is rotated, a filter changing the cutoff
frequency is applied to the playback sound, in accord-
ance with the amount the dial is rotated. This allows the
DJ to extract and play back desired parts from the play-
back sound.
Using the HOLD function
Press the HOLD button while the DIGITAL JOG BREAK
function is in effect; in the display, the indicator corre-
sponding to the selected effect will switch from flashing
to steadily lighted, and the amount of effect currently
being applied to the sound will remain steady, even if
the jog dial is released.
÷ When the HOLD function is in effect, the time display
will periodically show the HOLD indicator as noted
below.
