POWER-CORD CAUTION

Handle the power cord by the plug. Do not pull out the

plug by tugging the cord and never touch the power

cord when your hands are wet as this could cause a

short circuit or electric shock. Do not place the unit, a

piece of furniture, etc., on the power cord, or pinch the

cord. Never make a knot in the cord or tie it with other

cords. The power cords should be routed such that they

are not likely to be stepped on. A damaged power cord

can cause a fire or give you an electrical shock. Check

the power cord once in a while. When you find it

damaged, ask your nearest PIONEER authorized

service center or your dealer for a replacement.

S002*_A1_En

The Safety of Your Ears is in Your Hands

Get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a

safe level – a level that lets the sound come through

clearly without annoying blaring or distortion and, most

importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.

Sound can be deceiving. Over time, your hearing

“comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound, so

what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and

harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting

your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing

adapts.

ESTABLISH A SAFE LEVEL:

• Set your volume control at a low setting.

• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it

comfortably and clearly, without distortion.

• Once you have established a comfortable sound

level, set the dial and leave it there.

BE SURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING

GUIDELINES:

• Do not turn up the volume so high that you can’t

hear what’s around you.

• Use caution or temporarily discontinue use in

potentially hazardous situations.

• Do not use headphones while operating a motorized

vehicle; the use of headphones may create a traffic

hazard and is illegal in many areas.

Through the operation of turning the control, new sounds can be added

to the currently playing track and breaks can be created at the desired

positions to achieve a new sound for the track. Ten types of effects and

two sub parameters can be combined to achieve highly individualistic

DJ remixing performances.

What’s in the box

By operating the touchpad, new sounds can be added to the original

track in beat with the track’s rhythm. Various sounds can be added to

tracks and remixed using four preset internal sound sources or by load-

ing sampled sound sources from SD memory cards.

Operating instructions (this document)

RELEASE FX

The currently playing track and the effect sound can be transitioned

smoothly simply by operating the lever. Three types of effects and a lever

switch allow you to create highly individualistic arrangements.

QUANTIZE

The track’s beat positions are analyzed in real time and the timing for

producing the effects and the X-PAD FX sounds is adjusted automati-

cally. The sounds can be played in tempo with the track, even when

operated roughly.

remixbox

The included dedicated application software can be used to change

the parameter values and types of this unit, letting you customize it to

achieve an effect machine suiting your personal tastes.

RMX-1000 Plug-in

A VST/AU Plug-in letting you launch the functions of this unit on a com-

puter is provided. With it, the RMX-1000 can be used as a controller.

1 Cord hook

Hook the AC adapters’ power cord here.

The sound will be interrupted if the AC adapter’s power cord is

disconnected from the unit during playback.

3 ON, STANDBY switch

This switches this unit’s power between on and standby.

Using the cord hook

4 USB port

Hook the AC adapter’s power cord onto the cord hook to fasten it in

place. This prevents the power cord from being accidentally pulled, caus-

ing the plug to get disconnected from the terminal.

Connect to a computer.

Connect this unit and the computer directly using the included

USB cable.

The sound will be interrupted if the AC adapter’s power cord is dis-

connected from the unit during playback.

A USB hub cannot be used.

As shown on the diagram below, extend the tip of the power cord to

approximately the center of the rear panel of this unit and hook the

power cord onto the bottom side of the cord hook.

5 OUTPUT terminals

Connect these to the external input terminals on a mixer, etc.

6 INPUT terminals

also input to [R].

CAUTION

When connecting audio cables, only connect either RCA pin jacks or

phone jacks, not both.

Interconnect the equipment in such a way that the flow of the audio

signals does not loop. If looped connections are made, the circuitry

could produce oscillations that may damage the speakers, etc.

Examples of looped connections to be avoided

As shown on the diagram below, move the tip of the power cord back

in the opposite direction past the top of the cord hook, and hook the

power cord onto the top side of the cord hook.

Preparations for using the effects

Using the ISOLATE FX function

When the [LOW], [MID] or [HI] control is turned, the strength of the low,

mid or high frequency effect increases or decreases. It is also possible

to isolate the sound of specific instruments in the low, mid or high fre-

quency ranges and increase or decrease the number of sounds.

1 Slide the [ON, STANDBY] switch on the rear panel of

this unit to the [ON] position.

1 Press one of the [ISOLATE FX] buttons.

2 Check that the [INPUT] and [X-PAD] buttons are lit.

2 Turn the [LOW], [MID] or [HI] control.

light them.

3 Turn the [INPUT LEVEL] control.

Using the X-PAD FX function

With this function, effects can be applied to this unit’s internal sound

sources and added to the currently playing track. Instead of the inter-

nal sound sources, it is also possible to load and use sampled sound

sources prepared on SD memory cards and to sample and use the cur-

rently playing sound.

4 Turn the [OUTPUT LEVEL] control.

1 Press one of the [X-PAD FX] buttons.

5 Use the effects.

For instructions on using the various effects, see the sections below.

2 Touch the [X-PAD].

Using the SCENE FX function

When the control at the center is turned, an effect adding new sound

to the track or removing sound from the track is applied. This lets you

achieve a new sound for the track.

The selected X-PAD FX effect changes depending on the position on the

[X-PAD] that is touched.

1 Press one of the [SCENE FX] buttons.

Using the RELEASE FX function

When the [RELEASE FX] lever is moved towards you, the original sound

disappears and only the effect sound is output. Move the lever is back to

its original position to transition smoothly from the effect sound to the

original sound.

1 Switch the [RELEASE FX] selector switch.

2 Turn the [SCENE FX] control.

2 Move the [RELEASE FX] lever towards you.

When the control is turned clockwise, the selected SCENE FX effect

changes greatly.

When the control is turned fully counterclockwise, the SCENE FX effect

is not applied; only the original sound is output.

The selected RELEASE FX effect changes according to the position of

the lever.

When the lever is moved back to its original position, the effect turns off.

“CC” is the abbreviation of “control change”. A control change is a type of MIDI signal used to transmit various types of control information, such as

timbre, volume, etc.

“Note” is a MIDI term used when pressing or releasing notes on a piano or other keyboard.

On this unit, values from 0 to 127 are output as CCs when controls or the [X-PAD] are operated. Also, when buttons or switches are operated, val-

ues from 0 to 127 are output as Notes.
