the X-9 includes a wide variety of high-quality built-in
effects. You can add reverb, delay, echo, flanging, auto
panning, fuzz, a |ow»fi filter, pitch control, a transformer
effect and a low pass filter to any audio signal that passes
through the X-9, with 30 memories to store your settings
for later use. The X-9 also features parametric EQ - an
essential control feature for exciting custom mixes. All EQ
settings are also storable and recallable. Also, using the X-
9s sampling function, you can select a sampling source
from Input 1 through 4, from the master output, the
microphone input, or both sides of the crossfader. Along
with its customizable fader start function, which can be
assigned to several controllers on the mixer, the X-9 offers
all the features you ever wanted in a DJ mix - and a few
you never knew you needed until now.

Whether you're combining it with TASCAM's CD-302 Dual
CD Decks or any other audio playback tool, the X-9 repre-
sents a giant leap forward in setting the standard for DJ
mixing in the 21st century.
