Fader start enables the Crossfader on the M.207 mixer to start and stop playback on a CD player. To use this function you need a CD player (like Stanton’s C.324) with the Fader Start feature and its related cable. You can use this feature to trigger playback on a deck that might be just out of physical reach or to do a fader based beat juggle between 2 decks. -
Page 12: Effects
M.207 Effects M.207 Effects In this section of the manual, we will show you how to use the main M.207 effects – from the Auto Filter to the Transform effect. Let’s get ready to tweak! 4.2.1 The FXglide™ Area This is the main control for the effects in the M.207 and it is separated into 3 components – the Slider Strip (A), the Button Strip (B), and the LED Strip (C). -
Page 13: Effects
Effects Effects There can be 2 effects per button. One effect is located at the top and the other at the bottom of the button. For example, A.Filter/M.Filter, Phaser/Flanger, etc. Pressing the button once triggers the top effect (the button lights up solid). (Figure 4.3) Figure 4.3 Pressing and holding the button engages the bottom effect (the button will blink to indicate that the lower effect is engaged). -
Page 14: Automatic And Manual Filter
Automatic and Manual Filter 4.3.1 Automatic and Manual Filter (A.FILTER/M.FILTER) A.Filter (Figure 4.7) Auto Filter is a sweeping filter that moves based on the BPM. The FXGlide™ Button Strip gives you 5 different sweep lengths, from 16 beats (16/1) to 1 beat (1/1). Pressing WET/DRY will give you control over the ratio of effect audio to “normal”... -
Page 15: Phaser/Flanger
Phaser/Flanger 4.3.2 Phaser/Flanger (PHASER/FLANgE) Phaser (Figure 4.9) The Phaser is a sweeping notch filter that moves in time with the BPM. You are able to select the Sweep lengths (from 16 beats to 1 beat) via the FXGlide™ buttons. The PARAM button adds resonance to the filter, and the WET/DRY button controls the amount of effect mix. -
Page 16: Pan/Transform
Pan/Transform 4.3.4 Pan/Transform (PAN/TRANS) Pan (Figure 4.13) The Pan effect sweeps the audio left and right to the beat of the music. The sweep interval is determined by the value selected on the FXGlide™ Button Strip, ranging from 16 beats to 1 beat in length. The PARAM value controls the shape of the sweep. -
Page 17: Frequency Filters
Frequency Filters 4.3.6 Frequency Filters The M.207 has 3 frequency filters at the top of the effect area. (Figure 4.16) They can act as effects themselves, offering “reverse EQ kill” functionality, or they can be used to limit the frequency ranges being sent to an effect. Let’s go over each case separately. -
Page 18: Filtering The Effect Sends
Filtering the Effects Sends 4.3.6.2 Filtering the Effect Sends These buttons are also able to filter the frequencies being sent to a selected effect. For example, this could be used to add shimmer to the high end by running it through the flange or to send just the midrange to the echo effect to accentuate a vocal. Several cool effects can be achieved by using the frequency filters along with effects. -
Page 19: Fxglide™ Slider Automation
FXglide™ Slider Automation FXglide™ Slider Automation Many of the effects on the M.207 are beat synchronized. In most cases, the effect is modulated using a smooth sine wave. However, you are able to manually input a modulation pattern of your own. Automation time can either be BPM based, or manually done. -
Page 20: Bpm Synchronized Automation Recording
BPM Synchronized Automation Recording 4.4.2 BPM Synchronized Automation Recording Before to make a BPM synchronized automation make sure the M.207 is in Auto Recording.

Page 21: The Sampler
The Sampler The Sampler In addition to the Effects section, the M.207 also comes with a built-in 5-bank sampler. Samples can be recorded manually, or lengths can be determined according to the active BPM and the selected beat division. Sample playback can be either one shot or looping, and samples stay in memory until either the M.207 is turned OFF or they are erased by the user. -
Page 22: Bpm Synchronized Sampling
