(all currently locked tracks). The scratch sound will be the audio that you just
heard (one beat ago).

(all currently locked tracks). The scratch sound will be the audio that you heard
four beats ago (which will probably sound like the audio that is about to play
when you start scratching).

locked tracks). The sound will be mono and only 1/2 beat. Use this setting for
computers with low RAM.
W.A.R.P.
With the explosion of new technology, today’s DJs have many ways to alter the
sounds of the records they play. One such tool is the FX box. These devices
come in a variety of shapes and styles, but all have one thing in common; they
are designed to alter the sound of the music being played.
The DM
2
has a built in FX box that enables you to alter the music while it's
playing. This is what as known as a real-time FX. To control the W.A.R.P. FX,
simply move the W.A.R.P. joystick controller while music is playing. Depending
on the W.A.R.P. preset being used, the joystick will have a different effect on the
music.
There are three preset W.A.R.P. FX for you to use. To change between the
W.A.R.P. FX:
1. While playing, press one of the three W.A.R.P. preset buttons on the DM
2
controller.
To change which presets are available:
1. Press the stop button on the DM2 controller.
2. Use your mouse cursor to double-click on an on-screen W.A.R.P. button.
3. Select a preset from the dialog box.
Note: W.A.R.P. presets can also be changed by right-mouse-clicking on a
W.A.R.P. preset.
Macros
Macros are snapshots of track combinations. Macros can be assigned one at a
time or at any time, as long as you’re playing a mix.
