DJ Demonstration Denon DJ DNX 1600 Mixer Ping Pong Effect

0:00 This is a demonstration of one of the effects on the Denon DN-X1600

Alright ladies and gentlemen, this is a demonstration of one of the effects on the Denon DN-X1600. Track I'm using by the way is by Charlie Pierson, tracking title sent under but I'm just going to be using a very basic loop which is... OK the effect I'm using is known as Ping Pong, I suppose they didn't have enough room for the G but we can call it Ping Pong. So how do we get to that effect? First of all you need to move the EFX selector to, of course, Ping Pong. Once you've got that highlighted in the screen press down and that should stop flashing. You need to make sure you press down otherwise you won't engage that effect. OK so what I've done as I said, I have got a very basic loop. Make sure that the effect is on, you can do that by pressing the on-off button.

1:21 It's almost as if we're adding a tiny bit more of a crush feel

I'm going to put the volume up and now I'm going to turn the dial dry-wet forward. From 7 o'clock which is completely off, to wet which is 5 o'clock which is completely on. OK I will try and do this demonstration again in stereo but what's happening is that the sound is almost bouncing from one speak to the other. What we can do as well, we can increase the parameter of that effect to get more depth. It's almost as if we're adding a tiny bit more of a crush feel. OK so now we've got our G. OK. We've got our G. OK so now we're adding a tiny bit more of a crush feel to that effect. Now at the moment we're on half which is half a beat, three quarter, one over one. Of course what you can do is you can slowly increase the effect by moving the dial with

2:40 Half, on, off, quarter, on, off

Dry and wet. Alternatively what you can do is you can set the dial wherever you want and then just press the on-off. So instead of that effect slowly sweeping in and slowly sweeping out, you're having the effect come in straight away. I'll give you a demonstration of that. Move that to the dry-wet to around about two o'clock, press on, off, three o'clock, on, off. Five o'clock, on, parameters to max, on, off, go to half, on, off, quarter, on, off. On again. On. On. On. OK we had a very basic house beat there. It's a great way of filling in between the kicks. So if you have got quite a long introduction let's say to a track, say you've got thirty-six or sorry thirty-two bars before maybe the bass line comes in by messing around with

Ping pong you can accentuate the beginning of the track. So instead of just having a kamp kamp kamp kamp, you gotta kamp kamp kamp kamp, kamp If you get what I mean, alright? Any more info on the DNX-1600, I will put a link in the description. Also, if you want to check out the full track sent under, I'll put a link to the SoundCloud tune of that, and if you want any one-to-one lessons by myself, Jonathan, the DJ Tutor, check out the email address and email me, and I'll give you info how I can give you one-to-one DJ lessons via Skype.
