Dj-Fx Plugin; Ultra Knob Mode; Super Knob Mode; Effects Bpm Multiplier - Rane SIXTY-EIGHT 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.
The DJ-FX Plugin must be enabled in
the Plugins tab in the setup screen. Once
enabled, the DJ-FX panel button appears
in the panels area on the main screen.
See "Enable DJ-FX" on page 47.
To enable post-fader DJ-FX with the
5 INSert button, see "Enable Sixty-
Eight DJ-FX Send" on page 47.
NOTE: The DJ-FX plugin is not visible
if your Rane hardware is not connected.

Ultra Knob Mode

to select Ultra Knob Mode. This
allows you to control up to three effects
slots in one FX unit using the one Ultra

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.

Super Knob Mode

Super Knob Mode allows you
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 Knob
to toggle turning the effect(s) on and off.
The effects chain works in series going
from effects slots 1 to 3, meaning that 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, link or
unlink a parameter to the Super Knob by
pressing the Link Button, allowing one
master control of some parameters and
individual control of others.

Macro Edit Mode

Macro Edit Mode is an advanced
option that allows you to create
macro mappings for each effect and to
save any 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
opened, more controls appear which
allow you 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
button.
Now when you adjust the Ultra or Super
Knob you will see the parameter knob
move within the range that you just
specified. Any parameters not customized
but linked to the Super or Ultra Knob will
behave as normal.
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.
