I'm just getting started DJing - will be getting a couple of CDJ 800 MK1s and a Vestax PCV 275 mixer in a couple of weeks. At home I have a guitar effects processor lying around, its a Korg AX1G.. I was wondering if I would be able to run this through the mixer for effects? You can edit a heap of parameters like chorus, delay, flange, distortion (all the usual guitar effects) so I was wondering if this would be useful (or possible) in any way. Here's some specs:
The AX1G feature an expression pedal that lets the guitarist/bassist use his foot for direct control of the sound. The pedal can control many effects ranging from crisp cutting wah work to expressive volume swells. Use it to manipulate various parameters of bending effects to change the pitch, delay or tremolo effects, or to control the sample and play function. By pressing the pedal all the way down, you can switch on or off the effect assigned to the pedal.
Sample and Play
The sample and play function of the AX1G lets you record and play back a phrase or solo part while you continue to play. The recorded sound can be played back as is or modified using the expression pedal to create effects that have never been heard before. For one-shot playback or forward/reverse playback, you can switch the sound mode between hi-fi/lo-fi, and for loop playback you can specify the length of the loop. Since you can continue layering your guitar/bass lines while the loop plays back, a vast number of possibilities open up. For example, you can practice along or play a solo over a backing part which you have looped.
Effects with Attention
The AX1G utilizes the proprietary ToneWorks Hybrid Gain StructureŽ to create high-quality distortion and overdrive. A total of 69 types of high-quality effects, including wah, delay, ring modulator, flanger, pitch shifter, three-band equalizer, cabinet resonator, and expression pedal are provided.
The total of 71 types of high-quality effects includes a dynamic exciter unique to ToneWorks, that lets the exciter depth be controlled by your playing touch, an octave effect which adds an ultra-low note, five-band equalizer, cabinet resonator, chorus, flanger, delay, reverb and expression pedal. And up to seven types can be used simultaneously.
Powerful combinations of these effects are provided as 30 built-in effect programs. These programs can be edited by changing the combination of effects or by adjusting their parameters, and stored in memory as new programs.
