SDJ-4000 USER MANUAL
ing pad as they play. Press SHIFT + SLICER to enter LOOP
SLICER mode. LOOP SLICER mode works almost exactly like
SLICE mode, except that instead of the play marker mov-
ing forward in the song at the end of 8 slices, it sets a loop
when the mode is engaged and returns to the beginning of
the loop when the 8th slice is finished playing.
52. ROLL (KEYPLAY) - This pad mode creates a momen-
tary loop that repeats as long as the pad is held down, and
also engages its own SLIP mode – so that when the loop is
released playback returns to the buered position and not
the position of the play marker at the release of the loop.
Press SHIFT + ROLL to enter KEYPLAY mode. Press each
pad to adjust the playing song by an octave. In this mode,
each of the 8 pads represents a note, with 8 notes making
an octave. There are also 8 scales available to the user in
KEYPLAY mode (through pressing SHIFT + one of the pads)
– Major, Minor, Major Pentatonic, Blues, Mixolydian, Chro-
matic, Dorian, and Lydian.
53. PERFORMANCE PADS - The PERFORMANCE PAD sec-
tion is comprised of the 8 large pads and 4 smaller buttons
that are positioned directly underneath the PLATTER in
each deck section. The function of the 8 large pads is de-
termined by the mode the pad section is in, and the modes
are selected by the 4 smaller buttons (and by the SHIFT
button).
54. FAST FX FILTER - The FILTER eect is a typical dual
pole filter eect. When the knob is at the 12 o’clock posi-
tion, there is no eect at all. Turning the knob to the right
engages a hihg-pass filter, which increases the depth of the
filter as well as the cut o frequency as the knob rotates
clockwise. Turning the knob left engages a low-pass filter,
which increases the depth and cuto frequency as the knob
rotates counter clockwise.
55. FAST FX CHOP - When the FX knob moves clockwise,
the eect is CHOP only. The knob eects the time it takes
for the gate to open and close. Turning the knob coun-
terclockwise produces the exact same gater eect as the
clockwise rotation, but also adds a reverb to the gate eect.
56. FAST FX NOISE - The NOISE eect is a noise genera-
tor. When the knob is at the 12 o’clock position, the eect
is not heard. Turning the knob to the right gradually adds
noise to the channel audio, while also increasing the pitch
of the noise. Turning the knob left does the same, adding
noise and increasing the pitch of the noise – but it also adds
reverb after the noise and channel audio.
57. FAST FX FLANGER - A flanger is a modulation eect
where the delayed signal, which is added back to an equal
amount of the dry signal, is modulated by using an LFO.
Turning the knob to the right regulates flanger parameter.
Turning the knob to the left introduces not only a flanger,
but also adds a lowpass filter to the mix.
58. FAST FX - Turn this knob to control the eect selected by
the FAST FX buttons.
59. MAIN FX SOURCE - Use this knob to choose the audio
source you want to apply an FX to.

parameter.
62. FX DRY/WET - Turn this knob to adjust the wet/dry mix
of the eects
63. FX BEAT/TIME - Press either of these buttons to de-
crease or increase the rate of time-based eects on that
deck.

cables to connect these line-level or phono-level inputs to
an external audio source.

what is connected. If using phono-level turntables with a
grounding wire, connect the grounding wire to these ter-
minals. If you experience a low “hum” or “buzz”, this could
mean that your turntables are not grounded.

Flip the switch to the appropriate postition depending on
what is connected. If using phono-level turntables with a
