Numark NV Effects Making an Effect with the Pitch X Fade and Filter

0:00 You have in front of you the Newmark NV

Alright guys, you have in front of you the Newmark NV. Once again I'd like to thank very much Mr. Carl Detkin for not only putting me in touch with Newmark but also being the one guy who was responsible for me having this in front of me right now, also in front of you and also it's him, it's that guy who made it possible for me to be able to give this away this Christmas. Because some lucky person in the United Kingdom is going to win this exact Newmark NV. Check out the link in the description to that video where you could potentially, possibly get this free, gratis and for nothing if of course you're in the UK. Right, so what are we looking at? I have formed a bit of a roll here. Check it out. Hold on, where are we? Start it. I do beg your pardon, got to start it first.

Okay. Okay, so we've got an auto roll. I've got the shortest one which is 1 32th of a beat. 16th, 8th, quarter, half, 1 and 2 and so on, so you can see. Now then, this really is a bit of a demonstration here about making it your own, making a different sound, trying to take parts. Of this Newmark NV, not just the filter, not just an echo, not just a reverb. But what we're doing here, we're taking three effects and we're putting them together to make a completely new kind of sound. Now it isn't a new kind of sound as in this is a eureka moment. No one's ever done this before they have, but make it your own. I've always said, you know, follow certain tutorials. I do maybe take a bit from here. A bit from there, by all means go to other videos.

Take bits from here, bits from there, put them all together and you might end up with something genius or something that downright sounds absolutely shite. But check this out now. First of all, let's just press the press play. Sorry. Okay, there we are. Sorry, it was already playing anyway. All right, I'm going to use the filter.

2:30 We've got an effect crossfade

Okay, so we've got an effect crossfade. Make sure your crossfade is in, I suppose the hamster mode. It's more suitable for scratch turntablists. You're, um, I know all right, you've got wide angle lens here, but you can set the cross fade to a nice cross like that where you get a smooth kind of transition. The other one is something like that, where as soon as you bring the cross fade over, you get that sound.

So, of course, the first thing you can do is something like this.

Now, sadly we were not born with three hands. But if we were, we could use the pitch as well. Now I have disengaged master tempo or pitch lock. What that does is I'll just quickly sort of try and move the camera to the software. It's with Serato DJ, so you'll get this as well. Now there's a small icon here with a musical note on it. You need to make sure that that is not highlighted because what we can do with that not being highlighted, we can now have a little bit of fun with the pitch control. So what I'm going to do now is we'll move it over, so stop and listen to this now.

4:24 Again, if only we had three hands

Now again, if only we had three hands. Okay, so let's imagine there's two of you in the mix. Imagine if one guy or of course girl is moving the filter. The other one is moving the cross fade and the pitch. It would look rather good as well. And again, when you're doing a back to back or when you're doing a set where there's two of you, if you can work the more you can work together, the better it looks. So that's a bit of a tip inside a tip. Okay, so we're using the filter. We've got auto roll on to its smallest amount. We're moving the pitch up and down with the with the master tempo also known as key lock disengaged. We've got the cross fade set to the it's almost like a pie chart. It looks. A bit like the pie symbol.

So on the cross fade controller, it's set to the right, the switches to the right hand side, moving the cross fade over pitch up and down and changing the dial on the filter. What more could you ask for? All right, I hope that's been a help. Don't forget, check out the link in the description, not only to the Newmark NV website where you can get more info on the Newmark NV, but also how you can get this, this. Yes, this one. This could be yours if you live in the United Kingdom or of course, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, et cetera, et cetera. All right, hope that's been a help. Mr. Carl Decken. Thank you very much indeed. Once again, practice and enjoy. Thank you.
