Man, you cool and talk the way you talk, because your bi-lingual your English is better than most of the haters who only speak 1 language (broken English). Anyway, you did GREAT, because I Just bought this thing and you told me about all the features in a straight forward way! Good Job!!!!!!
Great tutorial, after seeing this video a few weeks ago, I was on the fence on which effects unit to get, the EFX500 or spending and extra few hundred dollars and get the EFX1000. My EFX500 arrived today from Ebay.
With this older effects unit how do you select the channel/deck which you want to apply the effects too? I use a pioneer controller (which the effects pads are mirrored both sides) and use effects whilst I’m mixing, whilst both tracks are playing so I wondered is there a button to choose your channel 🤔 I’m thinking, that whatever track is playing is what you apply the effects too, so, if the apply the effects whilst mixing two tracks then the effects will be applied to BOTH tracks playing and you can’t isolate the effects to one track
Hi Chris, it really depends on the mixer I’m afraid. Some mixers have send-return effects that have send-return or fx knobs available per channel and usually we turn that up when we want the effect only applied to that channel.
@@silverfiltersoundlab oh right ok, I was thinking of setting my old equipment up (I have 2 cdj 800 mk2s and a djm 300 mixer) my pal said I could have his old efx 500 as he doesn’t use it any more, just wondered if I could use with the above equipment
thanks for the info, i just got my efx 500 today, i wanna know can i set the efx to work with ch 1 on my mixer with out hearing it on on ch 2? and vice versa. thank you
@@masterblaster8119 i always thought that as well!! and i use those the most, i have the RMX 1000 and the echo and delay dont even come close to the quality or Performance of the 500
I've tested that exact setup. I had EFX-500 between Send 1 & Return A with TRS cables. Send 1 can be switched between pre/post fader. Tail FX like the Delay & Echo worked best with post fader & 100% wet on EFX-500. I remember that any other FX would create a phasing douplicate on the sound when it was post fader so I had to switch to pre fader, pull the channels fader down & then send & do FX.
thanks great tips..i kno its old kit but i jus found one for ten quid so thought id give it a go at that price i cant go wrong ..but thanks for the tips ...very usefull ...ta
Fajar Pratama send return is used if you use the efx connected to the send return of an external mixer. If not, just use it direct and don’t switch to send return.
@@silverfiltersoundlab wow really fast respond. Thank u. Yes im using djm 500 and want to use it for particular channel. How can i do that? In term of cable connection
Yo quick question. I have turntables setup rca connected to my efx500, when I do effects on the left deck transitioning to the right the effect also hits the 2nd deck . That's weird unless that's how it works???
Yes if both are directly hooked up it will affect both. If you want it to affect chosen deck you have to set it up with your mixer as a send return effect and choose channel accordingly.
Congrats on your purchase! I'm afraid you can't do that. Unless you set it as a send effect on your mixer then you can just select your send on the channel you want to use it with at a time.
12 years later ...this Demo STILL ROCKS!!!!!....thanX!!!....we just found this box at a pawn shop....and our kids Love Your Tut. on it!!!!

I want to see a video on how to hook them up to mixers
Can do video on how you have yours hooked up. Im having a strange phase/flange sound when i have audio going thru my EFX without the effects applied..
Best video showing this unit! Thanks for the video
thanks for the info, i just got my efx 500 today, i wanna know can i set the efx to work with ch 1 on my mixer with out hearing it on on ch 2? and vice versa. thank you
Danny Tasko You're welcome! Have a good time with it!
Thank you for the great tutorial!!! I can't wait to start using my efx-500
Danny Tasko You're welcome!
Silverfilter, does this unit noticeably degrades the sound quality of original track?
I never really noticed that. It sounds great!
Got it last week. The delay and echo sound alot better than on new djm mixers...
@@masterblaster8119 i always thought that as well!! and i use those the most, i have the RMX 1000 and the echo and delay dont even come close to the quality or Performance of the 500
hello bro ! can you explain how to connect this efx to xone 96?

You're welcome! Have fun!
Great video, thanks.
You’re very welcome!
Send return mean you can set which channel go to effect?

@@silverfiltersoundlab wow really fast respond. Thank u. Yes im using djm 500 and want to use it for particular channel. How can i do that? In term of cable connection
Fajar Pratama so send out of mixer to input of efx then out of efx to return of mixer. 😊
@@silverfiltersoundlab got it bro thanks alot.. you are champ
Fajar Pratama you’re welcome! Enjoy!
you can do it using 2 mixers bro. that's what i did. you just choose a channel on your other mixer for the signal coming from the other one (out).
Yo quick question. I have turntables setup rca connected to my efx500, when I do effects on the left deck transitioning to the right the effect also hits the 2nd deck . That's weird unless that's how it works???
Yes if both are directly hooked up it will affect both. If you want it to affect chosen deck you have to set it up with your mixer as a send return effect and choose channel accordingly.
Would you still recommend it? Trying to find a cheap master fx unit as I‘m making live music with synthesizers and stuff.
If you can find a cheap unit in great condition then yes definitely.
Love those Pio effects
Good to see some more uploads, man. Keep it up! :-)
Congrats on your purchase! I'm afraid you can't do that. Unless you set it as a send effect on your mixer then you can just select your send on the channel you want to use it with at a time.
Ill review, tip and tricks! Sounds like your Pilipino too, LOVE dat! JAHbuhay king...bless up!
nice review!
how can you connect this with cdjs :/?
via mixer you can do a send-return connection. If just direct from CDJ then it's the normal input output
Cool thanks
Thanks!! Enjoy the 500! :)
2020, barely gonna get one haha
This was a five minute video that was uncompressed to twenty one minutes
Bought mine today for $100.00 bucks!
Congrats! It's a fun piece of gear!
The way you talk makes me go to another video.. Jesus Christ.
Apologies. I'm not a native english speaker.
