Red DJ Effector. The new limited edition EFX-500-R gives a red-hot new look to Pioneer's increasingly popular EFX-500 DJ effects unit.
Pioneer EFX500R Using unrivaled digital technology the EFX-500-R offers a tremendous selection of sounds for the most dynamic and challenging mixes, easily creating Delay, Echo, Pan, Flanger or Transformer effects with its Auto BPM function. The Auto BPM counter automatically measures beats per minute of music and turns it into digital indication, creating live effects in sync with a pre-set beat. DJs can visually confirm the BPM of the input music source.
The Effect Frequency Selection allows selection of a specific frequency from the three bands (Hi, Mid, Low), which vastly improves the musical expressions. One, two or three frequency ranges can be selected at the same time. A Momentary On/Lock On system is used for smooth transitions.
