When you have finished editing thesample, click on the pull down menu nextto the text field and choose the entry SAVESAMPLE. The sample is saved under thedesired name in the sound group MYSOUNDS. The original sample is retained.

FX SETTINGS

The global presets for the FX STUDIO arevisible regardless of which of thesubscenes you have opened. There aresome presets and ten USER settingsavailable. The USER settings memorise theposition of all controllers so that you cansave all your own standard settings.

WAVE EDITORThe WAVE EDITOR is used to edit audiofiles by for example cutting, pasting,trimming and adding fades.

To highlight a section of the sample, moveacross it with the left mouse button held

down, i.e. click the point where you wantto begin highlighting and drag the mouseto the right with the button held down,releasing the button at the point where youwant the highlighted section to end.

All editing functions are executed using thebuttons above the sample window.Modifications apply to the highlightedsection or, if nothing has been highlighted,to the entire sample.

With CTRL + MOUSE you can move the leftor right edge of the highlighted sectionwithout cancelling the selection.

With CTRL + SHIFT + MOUSE you can turnover the highlighted section. Here is how itworks: click with this key combination nextto the highlighted section. The nearestedge of the highlighted section is retained,the new edge is defined by your mouse.

REVERB

Similar to the ECHO effect, here there arefive different types of effect and threecontrollers with which the character of theeffect is formed:

PRE-DELAYThe PREDELAY controller defines theamount of time which passes beforethe effect signal is heard.

TIMETIME defines how long the effectsignal takes to fade.


VOCODER & HARMONIZERThe VOCODER and HARMONIZER effectsmake it possible to make major changes tothe intonation of samples. Give a sample acompletely new melodic line with theVOCODER, or add new voices to a samplewith the HARMONIZER

The two effects are only active when thecorresponding ON button is activated.

To make these 2 effects visible click on thethird tab.

VOCODER

The Vocoder is a special effect in which theoriginal sample is altered by the so-calledCARRIER SIGNAL. The original modulates theCARRIER. The resulting mix can sound likethis: a vocal (original) which has the characterand melody of a synthesizer pad (CARRIER).

To do this load the original sample into theWAVE EDITOR and drag the sample youwant to use as CARRIER onto the samplewindow in the VOCODER.

VOCODER SHAPE

With SHAPE you define how much of theoriginal signal is to remain unchanged. Inthis way you can influence for example thedegree to which the original voice sample isdistorted. SHAPE improves the overallsound, especially in the higher frequencies.Generally the result is a more brilliant sound.

VOCODER RATIO

RATIO sets the balance of the two samples,influencing the amount with which eachsample works in the VOCODER.

HARMONIZER

The HARMONIZER generates new voicesabove or below the original sample. Thebuttons refer to semitone steps. 12Semitones is an OCTAVE, +7 is a FIFTHhigher than the original, +5 a FOURTHhigher and -5 a FOURTH lower than theoriginal. The results can be quite different,depending on the samples themselves. Sogive it a try and see what theHARMONIZER can do for your samples!

TIME & TUNEIn the TIME & TUNE module you cancorrect or modify the tempo and pitch ofthe sample. To make this scene visibleclick on the fourth tab.

INDIVIDUAL OR LINKED CONTROLLERS

Here you can define the functionality of thecontrollers. If ”linked controllers” isactivated, movements of one slider effectsthe position of the neighbouring sliders. Onthe contrary if ”individual controllers” isactivated the slider can be setindependently of each other.

POWERSWEEP, OVERDRIVE,CHORUS, REVERB & ECHOPOWERSWEEP is a time controlledresonance filter with which sweep effectscan be created. OVERDRIVE saturatesthe signal, leading to distortion effects.CHORUS produces a fuller and widersound. REVERB simulates a space, suchas a hall or a church or even a small box.ECHO repeats the original sound.

To make these 5 effects visible click on thesecond tab.

POWERSWEEP, CHORUS, REVERBand ECHO have their own presets thatcan be loaded from the selection menu. Aswith the EQ, there are also USER settingsto save your current settings. All effectsare only active when the correspondingON button is activated. REVERB and ECHOadd supplementary audio signals to asample.

POWERSWEEP

CUT-OFF FREQUENCYThe basis of the POWERSWEEP is alow pass filter: the audio signal abovethe CUT-OFF FREQUENCY is cut,meaning high tones are filtered out.The controller sets the point at whichthe filter starts to apply

RESONANCEThe RESONANCE is an amplificationof the audio signal exactly at the pointof the CUT-OFF FREQUENCY. Thisleads to an accentuation of theSWEEP effect. It can be adjustedusing the controller.

SWEEP DIRECTIONAs soon as you start sample playback,the filter starts to move, producing theSWEEP effect. The controller defines ifthe filter moves up or down, i.e. tohigher or lower frequencies, and towhich value the filter ”wanders”

TIMEThe speed of the filter movement. Inthe time defined here the filter”wanders” up or down to the value setby the DIRECTION controller.

FILTER CURVEThe points mark a filter progression curvethat clarifies how the filter is applied.

ECHO

Aside from the five different types ofeffects, the ECHO effects are defined bythree parameters:

TIMETIME defines the time that passes beforethe first reflection of the ECHO is audible.Here you can set a fast or slow ECHO.

FEEDBACKFeedback defines how a reflectancegets sent back into the ECHO effect,so causing a new reflectance.Acoustically this sounds like a repeatof the signal. Set the number ofreflectances with the FEEDBACKcontroller.


OVERDRIVE

The OVERDRIVE in DANCE EJAY 6 has onlyone controller. It sets the degree of thedistortion, i.e. defines the size of thedistortion effect.

DELETE RECORDING

You can delete recordings by clicking onthe pull down menu in the UPPER MAINFRAME and choose the entry DELETERECORDING

ORIGINAL TEMPO

On loading a sample the original tempo iscalculated and displayed in the ORIGINALTEMPO (BPM) text field. This tempo servesas the reference tempo for the TIMESTRETCHER.

If the tempo is not correctly identified youcan enter it manually in the text field if it isknown to you. How does it happen, thatthe tempo is not correctly identified?Sample are defined according to theirlength as most samples are cut to beexactly one or more bars in length. If asample however has been cut to 1.25 barsin length then the tempo will be falselyidentified as too slow.

NEW TEMPO

Enter the new tempo using the RIGHT andLEFT STEPPERS, or direct in the text fieldNEW TEMPO. If you do not know what theoriginal tempo is then activate theMETRONOME. Each time you click PLAYthe METRONOME starts. Adjust theTEMPO until it is synchronised with theMETRONOME. Then the sample has atempo of 140 BPM, matching that ofDANCE EJAY 6.

NEW TUNE

Enter the new pitch using the UP andDOWN STEPPERS, or direct in the text fieldNEW TUNE. If you do not know the originalpitch but want to match it to the DANCEEJAY 6 key of A minor, then turn on theREFERENCE TONE (A).

Each time you click PLAY the REFERENCETONE starts. Adjust the TUNE until itharmonises with that of REFERENCETONE.

MATRIX

The MATRIX displays the tempo and pitch ofthe new sample. Move the CURSOR withthe mouse to roughly set the desired values.

PLAY FUNCTIONS IN THE MATRIX

The principal function of the playercommands in the MATRIX is to hear yourLOOP independently of your mix. Click thePLAY button in the lower right corner of thescene to play the bar visible in the GROOVEGENERATOR; the other buttons (LOOP andSTOP) also refer only to the MATRIX.

SHUFFLE

Activating SHUFFLE delays the attack ofeach second 16th note, meaning the noteson the 2nd, 4th etc. positions in the matrixare played slightly later. With the SHUFFLEslider you define the amount of delay. Thegreater the SHUFFLE value, the more yourrhythm will swing, giving it a natural "live"character.

MIX PLAYBACK

The complete mix, including the GROOVEGENERATOR samples, can be playedusing the play functions in the MAINFRAME. That is why these play functionsare active even when the GROOVEGENERATOR is open.

SAVING SAMPLE AS WAVE FILES

If you want to use your LOOP in othermixes then you need to save it as WAVEfile. To do so open the pull down menu inthe UPPER MAIN FRAME and choose theentry SAVE SAMPLE.

RECORDING THE DRUMS LIVE

If you find entering the notes one-by-one adrag, try recording the drums live. Activatethe RECORD button in the MATRIX and thenstart mix playback. All notes you enter via thekeyboard or mouse will now be recorded.

HYPER X GENERATORThe HYPER X GENERATOR is apolyphonic sequencer suited to

generating synthesizer sequences andmelodies. It is also good for settingharmonic accents and composing HOOKS

SOUND SELECTION

To load a sound in the HYPER XGENERATOR open the ARCHIVE and drag& drop the sample onto the MATRIX.

NOTES IN THE MATRIX

The MATRIX displays a single bar dividedinto 16th notes. To create a SEQUENCEactivate single notes within the MATRIX permouse click. The MATRIX always displaysthe bar at the current play position. Toreach other bars in the mix select theposition using the BAR display or byscrolling in the MAIN FRAME.

CHANGING THE LENGTH OF NOTES

To modify the length of single notes, holddown the CTRL key and click on the notewith the left mouse and move the end tothe point at which the desired length hasbeen reached. A note can be lengthenedby 16th steps up to the length of theoriginal sample. Some of the percussionsounds are shorter. Samples can belengthened over the right edge of theMATRIX, which automatically switches tothe next bar.

MAKING ACCENTS

To give single notes an accent click withthe right mouse key on the note. The letter"A" shows that the note has beenaccented. Click again with the right mousekey to remove an accent.

To switch the PADS to the foreground,click on the DRUM PADS button in thelowerupper task bar of the GROOVEGENERATOR.

ASSIGNING SOUNDS TO THE PADS

To assign sounds to the pads, open theARCHIVE and drag & drop sounds onto thepads. The active sound groups for thisscene are KICK, SNARE, HIHAT, CYMBALand PERCUSSION. In addition you canaccess your own samples from the MYSOUNDS group and use them in theGROOVE GENERATOR.

PLAYING THE PADS

The PADS are played using the keys E, D,C, R, F and V as well as the number keys 0to 9. Or just click on the pads with themouse.

EDITING THE PAD SOUNDS

Each PAD can be edited individually. To doso click on the corresponding EDIT button.The controllers in the middle refer alwaysto the PAD with the active EDIT button.Now you can set the VOLUME, PITCH andPANORAMA of the sound; if REVERSE isactivated the sample will be playedbackwards.

For each pad you can individually activatethe ADD FX button. This is important as it isnot always advisable to send all padsounds to the effects.

Example: Your SET comprises KICK, CLAP,SNARE and PERCUSSION sounds. Tomake the PERCUSSION sounds more

interesting you want to send them throughthe STEREO ECHO in the mixer. KICK,CLAP and HIHAT however should remainpure, otherwise it’ll sound too chaotic. Inthis case activate the FX button only forthe pads with PERCUSSION sounds.

GROOVE MATRIXIn the MATRIX of the GROOVEGENERATOR you arrange your DRUM SETbar by bar to create complete LOOPS andGROOVES synchronous to your mix.

To switch the MATRIX to the foreground,click on the GROOVE MATRIX button in theloweruppe task bar of the GROOVEGENERATOR.

MOPHONIX IIThe new MOPHONIX II allows you tocreate Synthesizer progressions

from the ground up. The MOPHONIX IIuses two virtual analogue synthesizerswith a so-called "saw tooth curve". Thesynthesizers are connected with variousMODES.

In contrast to the GROOVE, HYPER X &BASS GENERATORS, the MOPHONIX IIonly generates WAVE files and is notsynchronised with your mix. That’s whythere is no extra track for this scene.

Although there is a matrix, this time itfunctions differently.

The functions are described in detail in thefollowing sections.

SOUND CREATION IN THEOSCILLATORThe PITCH settings define the basic pitchfor each synthesizer. You can choose fromvalues encompassing a range of up to 12octaves.

PHASESHIFT defines the displacement ofthe "saw tooth curve". The minimum andmaximum controller positions cover therange from 0° to 360°, imposing thecurves exactly on top of each other. Analteration in the phase is not necessarilynoticeable on all MODE settings.

INTENSITY, together with DURATION,defines the attack characteristics and thedynamics of the progression from thebeginning to the end.

With the help of the various MODE settingsyou can define the relationship betweenthe two saw tooth curves:

MODE 1 sounds closest to a classicalanalogue synthesizer.

MODE 2 sounds more metallic.

MODE 3 is a mixture of MODE 1 and MODE 2.

MODE 4 sounds distorted and moretechnoid in character.

MELODY PATTERN

Here it is possible to change the characterof the melody. You can choose betweenmelodies that move simply up or down, orother more complex patterns.

TRANSPOSE

The patterns can be moved up or down alldefined possible notes. In this way you canswitch between different inversions of theset chord.

RECORDING AND SAVINGRECORDING A SAMPLE

First of all you have to set the length of thesample in the PRESET menu. The matrix willbe played once for each bar you have set.

As soon as you click on the RECORDbutton playback starts. All changes thatyou make during the recording arerecorded just like with a cassette recorder.You can check the position of yourrecording with the progress bar.

When the set number of bars has beenpassed through the recording ends. In thedialogue box that then opens you canname and save the resulting sample or editin the FX STUDIO, which opensautomatically. The sample appears in thesound group MY SOUNDS from where itcan be added to a mix (drag & drop).

SAVE / LOAD SETTINGS

To do so click on the pull down button nextto the text field in the UPPER MAINFRAME. You can then choose between thefollowing options:

SAVE SETTINGS opens a dialogue box,which enables you to save the currentcontroller settings of the synthesizer andeffects together with the mix in the currentstate in one file.

LOAD SETTINGS opens a dialogue boxwhere an existing file can be selected. Youcan choose to load synthesizer and effectsettings and / or the matrix settings.

MOPHONIX SUPABASSThe new MOPHONIX SUPA BASSallows you to create synthesizer

bass progressions from the ground up.The SUPA BASS uses FM-synthesis tocreate bass sounds. It contains twooscillators. One of them is theMODULATOR, the other the CARRIER.

In contrast tot the GROOVE and HYPER XGENERATORS, the MOPHONIX SUPABASS only generates WAVE files and is notsynchronised with your mix. That’s whythere is no extra track for this scene.Although there is a matrix, this time itfunctions differently.

SOUND CREATION IN THEOSCILLATORThe PITCH settings define the basic pitchof the lowest note in the matrix (A) foreach synthesizer. You can choose fromvalues encompassing a range of up to 4octaves.

The PITCH of the CARRIER defines thekeynote of the sound, while the PITCH ofthe MODULATOR influences the overtone

BALANCE is used to define the amount ofthe right and left saw tooth curves in theresulting signal.

Caution: depending on the chosen MODE,some controller positions may result in aninaudible signal because the two curvescancel out each other.

These settings may sound a littlecomplicated so we recommend youexperiment with the controllers or loadsome of the predefined settings tofamiliarise yourself with the module. Youwill soon see how you can generatefascinating synth sounds with theMOPHONIX II.

EQUALIZER AND EFFECTSEQUALIZER

The EQUALIZER contains 10 differentfrequency bands. By sliding the controllersup and down you can define the volume ofthe various frequencies ranges.

If the controllers are linked, then themovements of one slider effects theposition of the neighbouring sliders.

A click on ”C” (Clear) sets all controllersback to neutral.

EFFECTS

LOW PASSThe audio signal above the CUT-OFFFREQUENCY is cut, meaning hightones are filtered out. The slider setsthe point at which the filter starts toapply. The further the slider is set tothe right, the higher the cut-offfrequency.

The DURATION slider lets you selecthow long the low pass should last.

D-TUNEThe D-TUNE controller changes thestereo effect of the sound. The left andright channels of the sound are setagainst each other, resulting in anincrease in the beat of the sound.

FLANGERThe FLANGER widens the length of thesound and gives it a softer touch.

MATRIXHere you have a keyboard with a range oftwo octaves with which you can listen tothe pitch of your sound. In the 16th matrixyou can create progressions of up to 4bars in length. By clicking on the TABS 1-4below the matrix you can jump to thedifferent bars.

The matrix is polyphonic, meaning youhave multiple tones in each column (16th).

When you click play the matrix loops fromthe beginning. You can copy and pastebars, or clear bars by clicking on theCLEAR (C) button.

Under the matrix you will find a TRIGGERand separate controller for each note withwhich you can change the note length.

PLAY starts looping of the matrix. You canedit the matrix during looping until youreach a result with which you are satisfied.

Press STOP to stop looping the matrix.

ARPEGGIATORWith the ARPEGGIATOR you can createpatterns in the matrix based on the notesof certain predefined chords. Sixparameters enable you to define the notesin the matrix. In addition you can edit theresulting patterns in the matrix to add yourown touch to your progression.

ON BUTTON

The ARPEGGIATOR must be turned onseparately for each bar in the matrix. Thisis how it works: first create the desiredpattern in bar 1. Then you can save it if youwant. In the same way you can createpatterns for the other bars, saving them asyou go.

The matrix will be cleared each time youpress the ON button; beforehand you willbe given the option to save your settings.As soon as you start to add notes of yourown to the matrix, the arpeggiator will beturned off. This is necessary to avoidconflicts between the automaticallydefined notes and those you add yourself.

components of the sound.

The PITCH settings for both oscillatorswork with octave steps. Please note: ifboth oscillators are set to the lowest pitchvalue, barely audible bass sounds withvery low frequency may be created. Thisdepends in part on the other settings.

The grid control allows you to specify theperiod duration for the oscillators, wherebythe X-coordinate defines the MODULATORperiod length and the Y-coordinate definesthe CARRIER period length.

The slider AMOUNT defines the degree towhich the CARRIER signal is influenced bythe MODULATOR.

The 4 MODE settings represent differentmathematical operations combining thesignal of the two oscillators.

The SOFT and HARD buttons switch theoverall sound characteristics.

These settings may sound a littlecomplicated so we recommend youexperiment with the controllers or loadsome of the predefined settings tofamiliarise yourself with the module. You willsoon see how you can generate fascinatingsounds with the MOPHONIX SUPA BASS.

EFFECTSThe LFO FILTER is an effect that usesfeedback to give the bass sound a moreunadjusted, floating character.

MATRIXHere you have a keyboard with a range oftwo octaves with which you can listen tothe pitch of your sound. You can createtones for one bar in the 16th matrix. Thematrix is monophonic, meaning you canonly have one tone per column (16th).

Under the matrix you will find a separatecontroller for each note with which you canchange the length of the individual notes.

RANDOM / PERMUTATEThe RANDOM button generates a randomtone sequence. The PERMUTATE buttoncan be used to randomly change (mutate)the progression in the matrix.

PLAY CONTROLSPLAY starts looping of the matrix. You canedit the matrix during looping until youreach a result with which you are satisfied.Press STOP to stop looping the matrix.

RECORDING A SAMPLEFirst of all you have to set the length of thesample in the PRESET menu. The matrixwill be played once for each bar you haveset.

As soon as you click on the RECORDbutton PLAY starts. All changes that youmake during the recording are recordedjust like with a cassette recorder. You cancheck the position of your recording withthe progress bar above the PRESET menu.

When the set number of bars has beenpassed through the recording ends. In thedialogue box that then opens you canname and save the resulting sample. Thesample appears in the sound group MYSOUNDS from where it can be added to amix (drag & drop) or opened in the FXStudio for further modification.

SAVE / LOAD SETTINGSTo do so click on the PULL DOWN buttonnext to the text field in the UPPER MAINFRAME. You can then choose between thefollowing options:

SAVE SETTINGS opens a dialogue box,which enables you to save the currentcontroller settings of the synthesizer andeffects together with the mix in the currentstate in one file.

LOAD SETTINGS opens a dialogue boxwhere an existing file can be selected. Youcan choose to load synthesizer and effectsettings and / or the sequence settings.
