Video 1 The in loop sampler on the DJM-400 DJ mixer.

0:00 Sampler

Right folks, Jonathan here. Someone's asked me to give a demo on this guy here, mainly the in-loop sampler. An in-loop sampler is basically something that will sample the music and it's stored actually inside the mixer itself. So we'll do a quick video, I hope, and give you a general idea of what to do, how to do it and what you can do with it. Hold tight. Right, here we go folks. Now bearing in mind this isn't a demonstration on how good I am at using this sampler, this is a demonstration on the basic functions and how you can use it and hopefully you'll be a lot better than me. Right, first of all let's listen to the actual music. Right, the track is DeLacy and it's entitled Hideaway. Now we've got 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. These are basically banks and we can have five different samples in each of these particular banks. In fact, we could have...

0:56 Delacy Hideaway in number one and number two

Delacy Hideaway in number one and number two. And we could have, say, another track in number three. We could have another track in number four and another track in number five. So you can alternate in between all of these. Right, the first thing you need to do is, in this case, because it's an ongoing mix, we'll just play the music. Now what I'm going to do now, I'm going to now press the on-off button so it's flashing. Now with the in-loop sampler selected, Because this CD player here is now on channel 2 and this is the one we want to sample. The level depth is set to halfway. On the beat, I'm now going to press one of these buttons. And there you go, we've sampled. If I press it again, the sample will stop. But the sample is now in that bank. Now we can do exactly the same with another one. There you go, it's sampled again. Now I can press it again, back to the music.

2:20 We have three samples, and again

Now we can sample again. Now we have three samples, and again. So basically now to start the sample that I've already sampled, I press the button and then the light flashes while the sample is being played. If I want to stop the sample, I press the same button and then we go back to the music that's playing. This is a basic video number one in utilising and looking at the sample effects, the in-loop sampler On the Pioneer DJM400. Thanks for watching, practice and enjoy!
