NEXT GENERATION DIGITAL DJ FX MIXER
“The
Xone:DB4 is a truly ground-breaking mixer and by far the most advanced
product that we have designed. Every feature has been meticulously
researched with a view to offering DJs ultimate creativity. Based on the
iLive pro-touring FX system, we developed FX algorithms with BPM
conscious parameters and tight spectral control, customised to perfectly
fit the DJ environment.
As
the loops and FX are automatically synchronised to the tempo of the
track, it is very easy to build some amazing grooves and soundscapes
without problems of latency, low fidelity and the general hassle often
associated with using software and laptops.
The
icing on the cake is the flexible input matrix, where any audio source
can be selected on any or all of the channels. Different processing can
be applied to the same track on separate channels and you can fade
between them, or a phrase sampled in the looper of one channel can be
added to the mix later in the track. Our digital design team has done an
incredible job to ensure that this is one of the most innovative and
exciting DJ mix tools to date.”
Quad FX Core
The
heart of the Xone:DB4 is the powerful Quad FX Core DSP engine, enabling
each channel to have its own FX bank and BPM detection system, which
automatically adjusts all time-related FX and loops to the tempo of the
music. There are 5 studio quality FX types optimised for DJ use -
delays, reverbs, modulators, resonators and damage - plus each FX type
has a patch library of different effect variations. Each FX bank has a
dedicated expression control and a rotary pot to set the wet/dry level,
whilst further tweaking can be performed using the global controllers in
the FX master section.
Looper
Each
channel has a built-in looper, with selectable loop length from 1/16
beat to 4 bars.The :DB4 will always record the full 4 bars, so the loop
can be expanded or shrunk at will.
Filters
Xone:DB4 comes equipped with the Xone dual filter system.
Source select
Each
music channel can select any of the available stereo music sources:
Analogue Line 1-4 (switchable to Phono on 2-3), Digital 1-4 or USB 1-4.
EQ / Filter
Each
music channel has a 3-band EQ that can be configured as standard
asymmetric EQ ( 6/-25dB), Isolator ( 6dB/OFF with a 24dB/octave slope),
or reconfigured as a High-Pass/Low-Pass filter system with adjustable
resonance. EQ knob pointers change colour to show which type of
equalization is active.
Mic/Line Input
The Mic/Line input has 2-band EQ, gain, cue and mix level. This can also be routed to channel 1 for adding FX.
Integral Soundcard
A
built-in, high quality (24-bit / 96kHz), multi-channel, fully patchable
USB2 soundcard allows replay and recording from audio software for 4
stereo sends and 4 stereo returns.
