Networking

You can use X1800 PRIME to network multiple compatible Denon DJ media players together, enabling them

to seamlessly share timing and BPM information with X1800 PRIME (to synchronize effect tempos) as well

as track and user profile data with other media players.

This feature provides many advantages while performing. For instance, if you are using four compatible

Denon DJ media players, you can use one of them to browse through all tracks on all devices (USB drives

or SD cards) connected to any of those media players. You can then play any of those tracks immediately

without having to move a device from one unit to the other.

To network compatible Denon DJ media players together, use the included networking cables to

connect each of their Link ports to a Link port (1–4) on the rear panel of your X1800 PRIME.

The Network (Media Status) light on each media player will turn on when it is properly connected to a

network.

By default, X1800 PRIME is set to detect and configure each compatible Denon DJ media player

automatically once you connect their Link ports. The Link port on X1800 PRIME will determine which

channels that media player uses. See the scenarios below.

You can also freely assign each media player layer to a specific channel by changing the Engine Connect

setting on X1800 PRIME.

When your media player is connected to Link

Port 1 on X1800 PRIME, Layer A will use

Channel 1, and Layer B will use Channel 2.

When your media player is connected to Link

Port 2 on X1800 PRIME, Layer A will use

Channel 2, and Layer B will use Channel 1.

When your media player is connected to Link

Port 3 on X1800 PRIME, Layer A will use

Channel 3, and Layer B will use Channel 4.

When your media player is connected to Link

Port 4 on X1800 PRIME, Layer A will use

Channel 4, and Layer B will use Channel 3.

Operation

Effects

BPM Effect Module

The built-in effect module enables you to apply any one of several effects to specific channels

based on its current tempo.

To turn the BPM effect module on or off, press BPM FX On/Off.

To select the channel to which the BPM effect module will apply its effects, turn the FX

Channel Assign knob. The options are: Channel 1, 2, 3, or 4; X-Fader A or B (either side of

the crossfader); Mic (both microphone signals); or Master (the master mix).

To apply or remove the effect to or from the cue channel, press FX Cue. When the button

is lit, effects will be applied to the headphones’ cue channel only.

To select an effect, turn the FX Select/Enter knob.

These are the available effects:

• Echo: This effect adds echoes of the original signal. Use the FX Time/Parameter knob

to set the Feedback level of the echo effect.

• Delay: This effect adds repeated instances of the original signal that decay over time.

• Hall Echo: This effect adds a combination of reverb and echo. Use the FX

Time/Parameter knob to set the Decay level of the echo effect.

• Ping Pong: This is a stereo delay effect where the rate of delay is different between the

left and right channels.

• Auto Gate: This effect cuts off the original signal at a regular rate.

• Flanger: This effect adds a slightly delayed copy of the original signal to create a comb-

filter effect (often referred to as resembling a jet plane engine).

• Filter: This effect varies the filter cutoff frequency at a regular rate.

• Phaser: This effect adds a copy of the original signal with its phase shifted slightly to

create a subtle, modulatory effect.

• Bit Crush: This effect adds a low bit-rate filter. Use the FX Time/Parameter knob to set

the Bit Average and Bit Depth to change the sound of the effect.

• Reverb: This effect adds reverberation to the original signal. The amount of delay depends

on the tempo. Use the FX Time/Parameter knob to adjust the Decay of the reverb, and

press the FX Time/Parameter knob while the reverb is active to "freeze" the reverb and

kill the channel audio.

• Roll: This effect samples the current audio signal and repeats it at a regular rate based on

the current time division.

• RevRoll (reverse roll): This effect samples the current audio signal and repeats it

backward at a regular rate based on the current time division.

• BeatBreak: This effect samples the 4 beats of each bar of the original signal and replays

them (within the same bar) according to a preset pattern, creating a “stuttering,”

“breakbeat” effect.

To select a pattern to use, turn the FX Time/Parameter knob to select Pattern 0–15,

as shown in the second display. The 16 blocks ( █ ) and/or lines ( __ ) below it indicate

the rhythm of the current pattern similarly to a drum machine’s step sequencer: a block

represents a “hit” / “strike” and a line represents a rest.

Examples:

indicates a hit on each beat.

indicates a hit on every 8th note.

indicates a hit on every 16th note (every

note of the pattern).

Use the Utility menu to edit the patterns (see Utility Menu > FX).

• Scratch: This effect alternates between normal and reverse playback of each beat,

creating a vinyl-scratching effect.

• Pumper: This effect attenuates or "ducks" audio on the downbeat, similar to a sidechain

compressor. The available parameters are:

o Duck: Sets the volume attenuation: -2 dB to -20 dB.

o Offset: Sets the ducking offset time in beats: -1/16, -1/8, -1/4 or -1/2.

• Echo Hold: This effect applies an echo that, when the Wet/Dry knob is turned clockwise

past the center point, hold repeats on the last echo. Turn the Wet/Dry Knob back

counter-clockwise past the center point to remove the echo hold.

• SendRtn (send/return): This option will enable the send outputs and receive inputs,

allowing you to use external effects on the signal.

All of the BPM effects are time-based, so the BPM effect module offers several ways for you

enter or detect the tempo it will use.

To adjust the time division of the BPM effect module, do either of the following:

• Make sure the time division (__ Beat) is selected in the lower display (if it is not,

press the FX Time/Parameter knob), and then turn the FX Time/Parameter

knob to select another time division.

• When the Instant button is off, tap an area of the FX touch strip to select a time

division. A corresponding light along the strip will illuminate to indicate the current

time division.

To adjust the rate of the BPM effect module in milliseconds, make sure the

millisecond rate (__ ms) is selected in the lower display (if it is not, press the FX

Time/Parameter knob), and then turn the FX Time/Parameter knob to adjust it.

To enter a new tempo, press Tap at least 3 times at the desired tempo. This will set the rate of the

BPM effect module for the channel set by the FX Channel Assign knob (the module’s rate for other

channels will remain unchanged). The Tap button will be dimly lit when using a BPM manually

entered this way.

To detect the tempo automatically, press and hold Tap/-Auto for 1 second. This will synchronize

the rate of the BPM effect module with the audio signal of the channel set by the FX Channel

Assign knob (the module’s rate for other channels will remain unchanged). The Tap button will be

brightly lit when using a BPM automatically detected this way, and Auto will be shown next to the

BPM in the second display.

Note: If you are using a compatible media player with Engine Connect, the media player will

control the BPM effect module, and the Engine logo will be shown in the second display.

To adjust the tempo manually, press and hold Tap/-Auto, and then turn the FX

Time/Parameter knob to adjust the BPM in increments of 1. While still holding Tap/-Auto,

press and turn the FX Time/Parameter knob to adjust the BPM in increments of 0.1.

You can easily adjust the balance between the “wet” signal (the BPM effect module’s output

signal) and “dry” signal (audio without effects applied).

To adjust the balance between the “wet” and “dry” signals, turn the Wet/Dry knob.

Alternatively, use the FX touch strip while in Instant FX Mode.

Normally, you would apply effects to the entire frequency spectrum, but X1800 PRIME also

lets you apply them to an isolated frequency band of the audio signal (of the selected channel).

To select the frequency band, turn the FX Frequency knob. Select the center (12:00)

position to apply effects to the entire spectrum of frequencies.

Instant FX Mode enables you to use the FX touch strip to activate the effect and adjust its time

division simultaneously.

To enable or disable Instant FX Mode, press Instant. The button will light up when it is

enabled.

To activate the effect, tap and hold your finger on the FX touch strip, and then drag

your finger up or down to adjust the time division of the effect.

Sweep FX

Sweep FX allows you to apply one of four effects to the four channels and “sweep” them using

the Sweep FX knobs. You can apply only one sweep effect at a time.

To activate a sweep effect, tap one of the Sweep FX buttons: Dub Echo, Noise, Wash Out,

or Gate. The button will light up when activated. Only one of these buttons can be enabled at

a time.

To deactivate a sweep effect, tap the lit Sweep FX button. Alternatively, press a different

Sweep FX button to activate it, which will deactivate the other.

For all sweep effects, the center (“12:00”) position of the Sweep FX knob bypasses the effect.

Turning the Sweep FX knob clockwise or counter-clockwise from this position applies the

effect, and can produce different results in each direction depending on the type of effect. The

available sweep effects and their functions are as follows:

• Dub Echo: This effect adds a brief echo. Turn a Sweep FX knob counter-clockwise to

decrease the length of the delay and increase the feedback, or turn it clockwise to

increase the length of the delay as well as the feedback.

• Noise: This effect adds noise to the signal. Turn a Sweep FX knob counter-clockwise to

add white noise with a time-based gate effect synchronized with the channel's tempo, or

turn it clockwise to add white noise.

• Wash Out: This creates a transition effect. Turn a Sweep FX knob to its most counter-

clockwise (minimum) position to apply a 1/2-beat echo that will also mute the channel’s

normal audio signal, or turn it to its most clockwise (maximum) position to apply a 1-beat

echo.

• Gate: This effect applies a time-based gate effect to the signal. Turn a Sweep FX knob

counter-clockwise to apply a gate effect synchronized with the channel’s tempo, or turn it

clockwise to apply a gate effect that attenuates the signal. The farther clockwise the knob

is turned, the greater the attenuation.

Utility Menu

The Utility menu enables you to customize various settings on X1800 PRIME that affect the

audio signal routing, effects module, input and output levels, and more.

To enter or exit the Utility menu, press Utility. Exiting the Utility menu also saves any changes you

made.

While in the Utility menu, you can do any of the following:

• To select an option, turn the FX Select/Enter knob.

• To confirm your choice or enter a submenu, press the FX Select/Enter knob.

• To return to the previous screen, press Back.

Below are descriptions of the different submenus in the Utility menu:

These settings determine how the Channel EQ knobs work.

• Type: Select ISO to set the Channel EQ knobs’ ranges to -∞ to +6 dB/+10 dB (as

labeled). Select EQ to set the Channel EQ knobs’ ranges to -24 dB to +6 dB (for other

players that may need this setting).

• High Cross Over: This is the crossover frequency between the High and Mid EQ knobs

when the Type is set to ISO: 1000 Hz–8000 Hz (in varying increments).

• Low Cross Over: This is the crossover frequency between the Mid and Low EQ knobs

when the Type is set to ISO: 100 Hz–800 Hz (in varying increments).

• Reset EQ Default: Select OK to return these Channel EQ settings to their default values,

or select Cancel to return to the previous menu.

Filter

• Resonance: This is the resonance of the filters on Channels 1–4 (i.e., how much the frequencies

just beyond the cutoff frequency are allowed to pass through the filter). 0 is a flat setting

(frequencies just beyond the cutoff frequency won’t be heard at all), while 15 yields a high

resonance (the cutoff frequency is not as “strict,” so some adjacent frequencies will be heard).
