Beat Sampler
This is a new DJ function that allows you to sample your favorite sources and play them back easily at the touch of a button. The BPM is measured digitally and recorded automatically exclusively for designated beats ( 1 / 2 / 4 / 8 / 16 ) beats.
If set to the Stand-By mode when no sound is present, the function automatically starts and stops recording in response to the presence and absence of the input signal and achieves the correct sampling with perfect timing. What's more, the user can edit the end position, making possible a wide diversity of playback effects by making use of three playback mode options and the cross fader start.

• AUTO BEAT SAMPLING
  Enables you to record up to 8 seconds of sound for sampling.
• AUTO SYNCHRONOUS START
  From any given CUE point you can start a recording, when there's no sound on the selected input the sampler keeps STANDBY.
• MANUAL SINGLE PLAY
  Plays back the recorded sound once only when the button is being pressed. The samples automaticly stops with playing when the button is released.
• AUTO LOOP PLAY
  Sample can be seamlessly and continually looped with this feature, the loop starts afer you pressed the button.
• AUTO LOOP/STRETCH PLAY
  Extends or shortens the recorded sound in accordance with the current track's BPM and plays back the sound repeatedly. This will give you a very accurate and in-phase running loop. When it seems to go off-beat : slow down the current track (on the CD-player or your turntable). Sometimes the BPM's are not interpetrated right, just a prove that the DJ cannot be replaced.

Automatic Beat Effector
Easy to use, DJ friendly sound effects. Effects dial allows complete control over the intensity of the effect. Enables sound effects on 1/4, 1/2, 1/1, 2/1, 4/1, 8/1 beats with the ease of just pressing a button. Linked to BPM, the DJM-600 can add effects to each CHANNEL, MIC and MASTER independently.

You can produce music that makes full use of high-level DJ techniques by performing quick setting with the Beat Unit Switch button, adjusting the precise time parameters, or controlling the balance between the effect sounds and the original sounds by varying the mix ratio. Moreover, even when using the fader, it is possible to leave just the effect sounds without linking to BPM.

• DELAY
  Repeats a sound once with a reduced volume. You can set the delay to the desired tempo by pressing the small buttons below the parameter display.
• ECHO
  Repeats a sound several times, but with a reduced volume. You can set the echo sound to their desired tempo.
• AUTO PAN
  Automatically shifts the sound to the right and left. Also capable of short auto pan sequences that would be impossible via manual operation.
• AUTO TRANS
  Periodically cuts the sound.
• AUTO FILTER
  Periodically varies the sound color.
• FLANGER
  Periodically reproduces a sound effect resembling a jet airplane ascending and descending.
• REVERB
  Reproduces a reverberating sound effect.
• PITCH SHIFTER
  Allows the interval to be freely varied throughout a range of +/-1 octave. With this, the user can compensate for interval changes when using analog turntables or for tempo changes when different makers' CD players are used. Additionally, choruses can be made by employing mix ratios.
• EXTERNAL EFFECT INPUT (SEND/RETURN)
  Allows the user to connect the mixer to an external effector or sampler, etc.

Headphone Monitor Split
When the Headphone Output switch is set to MONO SPLIT, the right channel becomes the master and the left channel becomes the CH sound. Choosing Plural with the headphone cue, the user can also hear mixed sound. Moreover, this function can perform right and left level adjustment, thereby making monitoring easier.

Headphone Mix Level Monitor
Assign any channel you want to monitor it on the your Headphone. You can also assign inputs to either side of phone for monitoring and cueing. Vary the level of mix transition between assigned channels. You can split the Headphone output or listen to a stereo signal. The volume is controlled by a seperate knob.

Auto BPM
The internal BPM counter can measurement from 70 to 180 BPM fast and accurate. When the beat is not a consistant 4-measures beat, it might take a little longer for the DJM to get the right value. The effects can be synced with the tempo of the music that you're playing. A beat indicator informs you when the required beat is linked to the Auto BPM.

Faderstart
Connected to the CDJ Series, the DJM-600 can begin playback of a track using the sliding cross fader or the channel fader. It can mix tracks without creating spaces by setting the stand-by track's cue point and performing a single-action cut-in. Since it returns to the cue point via the back fader alone, sampler-style playback is also possible. Start/back play of sources recorded using the built-in sampler is also possible using the cross fader.

Channel Faders
Easily replaceable Channelfaders (4 channel + 1 Master) with Sensitive Touch Faders. These fader might look a little fragile, but they are extremely durable and reliable. Channel 1 and Channel 2 have Fader Start Play (in conjunction with Pioneer's CDJ series).
