BEFORE USE (CONNECTIONS)  
Basic Connections  
Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power switch and disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet.  
1. Connecting the SEND/RETURN Terminals on the  
DJ Mixer (on DJ mixer provided with SEND and  
RETURN terminals)  
÷ Make connections using cables with 1/4-inch/6.3 mm in  
diameter phone plugs.  
÷ If the DJ mixer supports digital link, it can be connected  
to the EFX LINK connector using the provided digital link  
cable to eliminate the need for connection by an analog  
6.3mm phone plug cable (audio signals transmitted over  
the digital link cable are in digital format). Also note that  
extraneous noise may result if both analog and digital  
link cables are connected simultaneously.  
÷ Set the DJ mixer so that the SEND and RETURN  
terminals can be used.  
÷ Set the IN & OUT LEVEL switch on the Effector  
to the [–10 dB] position.

About Rhythm Effects  
(Example shown is 3 rhythms)  
During TRANSMIT:  
Each time rhythm TAP is struck, data is transmitted in the order rhythm parameter 2 (rhythm No.) and rhythm parameter 1  
(rhythm time).

During RECEIVE:  
During beat effect, if beat operation mode (rhythm mode) is received, the rhythm effect function is enabled.  
Thereafter, if the first time rhythm No. 1, time 1, rhythm No. 2, time 2, rhythm No. 3, time 3 are transmitted in that order,  
the effector continues to operate in response to the received rhythm.  
During rhythm effect, if the beat operation mode (BPM mode) is transmitted, the function returns to beat effect.  
Snapshot  
METER MODE/MIDI SNAP  
Once the effector is set to a target value, a snapshot of that  
state can be taken. When snapshot is used, all commands  
for control change are transmitted at once.  
When setting [TRANSMIT], hold the METER MODE/MIDI  
SNAP button depressed to transmit the snapshot. When  
this is done the MIDI indicator will flash.

÷
Effect output level is set too low.  
Analog inputs arent output  
A digital or EFX LINK input is connected.  
When analog and digital inputs are connected  
simultaneously, the digital input is given  
priority.  
The DJ mixer (DJM-1000) connected by EFX  
LINK has its effecter link set to ON (EFX LINK).  
÷
Cancel the EFX LINK, and disconnect any  
digital input with priority over analog  
inputs.  
The order of priority of inputs is:  
EFX LINK > Digital input > Analog input.  
÷
÷
Digital signals arent output.  
EFX LINK is connected to DJ mixer (DJM-  
1000) via digital link cable.  
÷
If EFX LINK is connected to DJ mixer (DJM-  
1000) via digital link cable, ordinary digital  
signals are not output.  
Disconnect the digital link cable.  
Set the digital output fs to match the  
connected component.  
÷
÷
The digital output fs setting does not match  
the connected component.  
÷
÷
When set to BYPASS, analog  
signals arent output.  
No analog inputs are connected.  
Use analog signals for input. Or use digital  
output. Outputs when BYPASS is selected  
are as follows:  
Even if a digital input or EFX LINK is  
connected, analog inputs are output as analog  
during BYPASS mode.

EFFECT FREQUENCY indicators (HI, MID,  
LOW) are all off (during use of TRANS,  
FLANGER, FILTER, or PHASER effects).  
÷
If EFFECT FREQUENCY indicators are all off,  
only the original sound will be output. Press  
the button corresponding to the frequency  
band to which you wish to apply effects (the  
buttons indicator will light).

÷
Some combinations of effects may have weak  
results. Particularly, some combinations of  
beat effects and digital jog break may sound  
weak.

Try setting SIGNAL FLOW switch to the  
opposite position (reverse order of signal  
processing for beat effects and digital jog  
break).  
No effect sound is heard when  
beat effects are applied.

Symptom  
Probably cause  
Remedy  
When a foot switch is connected,  
effects are applied even without  
pressing the foot switch.  
÷
÷
Foot switchs logic is reversed (the effector  
applies effects when the foot switch is  
depressed for LOW level).  
÷
Use a foot switch with logic matching that  
of the effector.  
Effect sounds are distorted.  
Input level is too high.  
÷
÷
÷
÷
Rotate INPUT LEVEL dial toward left ([MIN]  
direction).  
Try setting IN&OUT LEVEL switch to the  
opposite position.  
Rotate EFFECT OUT LEV. dial toward left  
([MIN] direction).  
Rotate DEPTH dial toward left ([MIN]  
direction).  
÷
÷
Effect output level is too high.  
Effect settings are too high (When the DEPTH  
dial is set near its [MAX] position, it may have  
the effect of raising the volume level.)  
Cant use EFX LINK function  
÷
÷
÷
The digital link cable is not connected.  
The connected component is not supported.  
The DJ mixers settings are incorrect

digital link.  
÷
÷
The BPM measurement mode is not set to  
[AUTO].  
÷
÷
Set the DJ effectors BPM mode to [AUTO].  
Echo sounds are output  
continuously  
During echo effect, if DEPTH dial is set to  
[MAX] and BEAT EFFECTS lever switch is  
moved from [ON] to [OFF], the feedback  
sound dies not attenuate, producing a hold  
delay effect.  
Rotate DEPTH dial toward the left ([MIN]  
direction).  
BPM doesnt count tempo in  
AUTO mode.  
BPM count is strange.  
÷
÷
Input level is too high, or too low.  
÷
÷
Rotate INPUT LEVEL dial so that the input  
level meter shows around 0 dB.  
Set to manual mode and input (TAP) the  
tempo manually (P.18)  
Some tracks have tempos that prevent them  
from being measured automatically. (Automatic  
measurement range is 70-180 BPM).  
MIDI sequencer isnt  
synchronized.  
÷
÷
The MIDI sequencers sync mode is not set to  
slave.  
The connected MIDI sequencer is not  
supported.  
÷
÷
Set MIDI sequencers sync mode to  
slave.”  
A MIDI sequencer without MIDI timing  
clock cannot be synchronized.
