Says Rik: I have a track playing on channel 2. I begin to mix a new track in on channel 3 and let the two tracks sit in the mix. I then begin to introduce some echo on channel 2 via the EFX-1000 on the send and return loop. I have the depth roughly set to 12 o'clock and the character also at 12, which adds a small low-pass filter on the echo's tail. I then begin to increase the depth on the echo; this basically turns the echo tail into feedback. I keep riding the mix for a time and then, on the off-beat, I drop the input on the EFX and increase the depth on the EFX-1000 to full. The reason for dropping the input is to kill the track from the mix but keep the momentum running that I built up by using the EFX-1000. You can create some cool patterns, as you can see, by chopping up this new sound using the beat parameter buttons. I then ride it for a while, implementing some high-pass filters on the DJM-800 before turning this sound into almost white noise, simply by adding some reverb on the right hand side of the EFX-1000. To do this activate wah, ensure hold is on, set the depth this time to minimum but set the character to full, add a very tiny high-pass filter on the digital jog break wheel, then when you turn the wet to dry pot up you will engage this rather than activating a filter as expected, try it out... In essence you are using the wah as a reverb tool rather than a filter! ENJOY!!!!!! www.rikparkinson.com
