The most obvious addition is the 'color' effects section with a separate control on each channel.Under the casing the DJM800 uses the same 96kHz/24bit technology of the DJM1000 with digital in and outThe other key feature of this mixer is that it acts as a MIDI controller, with no less than 61 assignable controls to use your favorite music software!
Effects
Extensive dialogue with some of the world? top DJs and sound engineers provided the catalyst to create new, intuitive techniques to effect the perfect mix, resulting in ?ound color effects?- a whole new style of DJ mixing. In music terms, if the DJ adjusts a track in the key of C by +3%, you are no longer in the key of C, and now between C and D. This makes it impossible to perform a perfect harmonic mix, unless harmonic tuning is applied. Harmonic tuning takes whatever key the source audio is in and adjusts the pitch until the key reaches a standard note. World class DJs currently spend hours learning the keys of their music and re-mastering their library to be in ?erfect pitch?- this innovation makes it easier to deliver smooth mixes every time. The DIM-800 also offers ?ilter? ?weep?and ?rush?effects through a highpass/lowpass filter, notch filter and bit crusher effect for all line channels.In keeping with Pioneer? relentless drive for innovation it has complemented its familiar effects with some new techniques for a package that includes: Echo, Delay, Reverse Delay, Pan, Transform, Filter, Flanger, Phaser, Reverb, Robot, Chorus, Roll and Reverse Roll. The effects automatically detect the BPM of the music and sync to the beats. In conjunction with the additional Digital Beat Effects, 50 combinations of effects are possible
