Dj-Fx Plugin; Ultra Knob Mode; Super Knob Mode; Effects Bpm Multiplier - Rane SL1 Operator's Manual

DJ-FX Plugin

The DJ-FX Plugin gives you control of
two FX units, each with three chained
effects slots per unit. Each FX unit has
two control modes: Ultra Knob Mode and
Super Knob Mode, both of which can be
fully customized. The DJ-FX plugin opens
in Ultra Knob Mode by default.
To enable the DJ-FX Plugin, go to the
Plugins tab in the Setup screen, choose
DJ-FX and check Enable DJ-FX Plugin.
Once enabled, the DJ-FX panel button
appears in the panels area on the main
screen.
NOTE: The DJ-FX plugin is not visible
if your Rane hardware is not connected.

Ultra Knob Mode

Click the Ultra Knob Mode
button to select Ultra Knob
Mode. This allows you to control up to
three effects slots in one FX unit using the
one Ultra Knob.
Click on the drop down menu to load an
Ultra Knob effect. (This is "empty" before
settings are saved in Macro Edit Mode.)
Click the ON button to enable the effect,
and use the Ultra Knob to control the wet
and dry amount of all effects.
Click the Show Parameters button

Super Knob Mode

Super Knob Mode allows
individual control of each effect
in the FX unit. Each effect slot has a Super
Knob which controls the wet and dry
amount for the effect.
Click the Effects drop down box to
select an effect for the effect slot. You can
leave a slot empty by selecting "empty."
Click the ON button by the Super
Knobs to toggle the effect(s) on and off.
The effects chain works in series going
from effects slots 1 to 3, meaning the
effected audio from slot 1 passes through
slot 2, and is then passed through slot 3.

Effects BPM Multiplier

The Effects BPM
Multiplier is used
to adjust the effect time. The effect time
is set using the track's BPM value, but by
applying the Effects BPM Multiplier you
can increase or decrease the effect time.

Deck Assign

You can select which Deck the FX unit
applies to by clicking the Deck buttons.
Each Deck can only pass through one FX
unit at a time.

Show Parameters

Press the Show Parameters button
to expose the individual parameters
for each effect. You can then control the
individual parameters by adjusting their
respective knobs.
In Ultra Knob Mode, use this to select
which effects are loaded and controlled by
the Ultra Knob.
In Ultra and Super Knob Mode, you can
link or unlink a parameter to the Super
Knob by pressing the Link icon, allowing
one master control of some parameters
and individual control of others.

Macro Edit Mode

Macro Edit Mode is an advanced
option to create macro mappings
for each effect and to save effects edits
made in Ultra or Super Knob Mode. Open
Macro Edit Mode by clicking the Macro
Edit Button while Show Parameters is
open. Once open, more controls appear to
create and change parameter mappings.
To map a parameter to the Ultra or Super
Knob:
1. Unlink the parameter that you
want to map to the knob. The
Macro Min and Max buttons for this
parameter are now displayed.
2. Move the Ultra or Super Knob
to the position that you want the
parameter to start mapping from.
3. Move the Parameter Knob to the
position that you want the to be
the lowest value of the parameter.
4. Press the Macro Min button to set
the minimum position.
5. Move the Ultra or Super Knob
to the position that you want
the parameter to end being
controlled from.
6. Move the Parameter Knob to the
position that you want the to be
the highest value of the parameter.
7. Press the Macro Max button to set
the maximum.
8. Link the parameter to the Ultra or
Super Knob by pressing the Link
icon.
Now when you adjust the Ultra or Super
Knob, the parameter knob will move
within the range you just specified. Any
parameters not customized but linked to
the Super or Ultra Knob behave normally.
You can save any macro mappings
you have made to an effect by
clicking the Save button by the Super
Knob, and save effects combinations
made in Ultra Knob Mode by clicking the
Save button by the Ultra Knob.
