@paintitblack01 The ROLL effect if slightly different from a LOOP. Sometimes the effect is also called a Loop roll, so its kinda confusing. Although u can loop with cdjs, once you leave the loop, the cdj takes you straight back to where you left off, ie AT THE END OF THE LOOP. The roll (or loop roll) also loops the music, but when you disengage the effect, you jump to the point in the track where you would have been had you not used the effect at all. Sorry for the caps, tryin to be clear :)
tojamirophan, it will sample the music being played through the chenell and once sampled it will then loop it, with ref to the other fx , all the mixer does is change the sound as it comes into the mixer and playes it out through the output and then into the speakers . j
@paintitblack01 the instant loop feature is not available on the professional CDjs . b/c its not accurate. the mixer is better at detecting bpm down to the millisecond. the 1000's (club standard) dont have the instant loop, they have cue points
You can actually sample four bars if you press the + button repeatedly till it says "End" in the display before you press the ON/OFF button, could be useful if you are running out of time and need to mix in the next song.
i was in that position 3 months ago but then i realized.. you will use those 2 extra chanels later on for sure, and if you ever need those other effects, you can allways buy them separately... plus you can change the picth on the 600 the only thing that is tempting about the 400 is the 4 sample/loop bank.. the 600 can only hold 1 sample/loop at a time
Well said. I've tried the CDJ400 and if you are thinking on using it for many gigs and what not it may break down. I own a pair of the CDJ800Mk2's and they feel much more forgiving and reliable. CDJ 800 and 1000's are the tanks of CDJ's.
Thats a problem that I think won't be solved in some time, the problem is the effect system just stucks to the beat it reads, and the system reads beat per beat, doesn't have more resolution. Lets say the song is 128.3 BPM, so the mixer will read "128BPM" and the song will be out of time no matter what you do if you keep the sample going. If you speed up the thing it will speed it up according to the CDJ percentage, but it will be according to the first BPM reading, so it will be off beat.
Question: Do you need a cd-player?.. erm, i saw your cd one with the blue around... does you need that to hear the music and mix it with the mixer?.. please awnser .. :)
ya great on the 1/1 mate but it wont always be in time if ya don;t have the auto bpm on!!!!!! Great little mixer tho, ever flick the channel or cross fader while the echo is on??
jonathan ma name is anthony i am a mobile dj too!!but i was just wondering how much equipment u have man??!!!! i been seen couple of your videos and it seem like u have a hole warehouse right there man!!!haha
For anyone who owns a DJM-400 I found that the robot feature is pretty useless. Until i was fooling around with it I discovered a decent use to it. Put the Level/depth all the way down with the tempo set to 4 - 1/1. From there, turn on the effect (you won't hear a difference). Furthermore, Use the Beat/Pitch buttons (+/-) to change the pitch of your music. It changes the pitch of your song with the but keeps the tempo the same. Downside = sounds quite "digital"...
Its not idiot proof! i managed to mess it up :P here is waht happenes: im playing a track on a cdj, the auto BPM is on, and when i press the effects button on, the loop starts, but over some tim the loop and the music go offbeat, so i try to speed up the track on the CDJ the loop speeds up too, so i try without auto BPM count, and its not working, what should i do >.>
i can personally vouch that this feature is great for chopping up dnb, jungle, dub, and breaks. if you can't figure out how to manipulate features, it just means you aren't being creative.
@paintitblack01 You guessed right bro!! I'm using this mixer with my Technics 1210's & I'm loving it! Getting cdj 900's in about a month (still in the process of saving up 4 them) & I cant wait!! By the way peace out & keep spinnin to all dj's. My guitar playing buddy keeps giving me stick 4 not playing a "real" instrument. F**k him!!
the djm400 has a few things that the djm600 does not..the 600 is not the 400's superior..impossible, how cud it be,wen the 400 has the new in loop sampler and the 600 dusnt...the 400 has the fader start function which is awesome..the 600 does not have phaser,robot or roll effect..the djm400 is the best 2 channel mixer on the market..the djm800 is its 4 channel superior..the djm600 is outta here!!

Also forgot to say I love Jonathan's videos as they always feature tracks I know/like. This one's a tuuune!

that works like a delay . i was expecting something more like looping with tempo streching
that is mint, wicked tutorial boss, im gonna buy that mixer now, WOOO
Thanks Man, you are the best tutor.
absolutely wicked
Its not idiot proof! i managed to mess it up :P
here is waht happenes: im playing a track on a cdj, the auto BPM is on, and when i press the effects button on, the loop starts, but over some tim the loop and the music go offbeat, so i try to speed up the track on the CDJ the loop speeds up too, so i try without auto BPM count, and its not working, what should i do >.>
damn i need to get my hands on this mixer!
i can personally vouch that this feature is great for chopping up dnb, jungle, dub, and breaks. if you can't figure out how to manipulate features, it just means you aren't being creative.
FireStrater is right. The sampler is almost useless unless your doing drum and bass.
this is the same as echo at 1/4 at full.... .. i would like to post a video for you... and show u how its EXACTLY the same!
14 years ago. thats like 75 years in rave years. like the obi wan of djing.
