MAGVEL FADER PRO Crossfader
The MAGVEL FADER PRO crossfader is a precision-engineered, durable crossfader that Pioneer DJ has designed for the professional scratch DJ. The fader Features a smooth, curve-control knob that lets you adjust the crossfader’s curve to match your scratching style. The fader is also made of durable materials that can withstand years of heavy use.
SOUND COLOR FX AND BEAT FX
The DJM-S5 is equipped with Pioneer DJ’s Sound Color FX and Beat FX.
The Sound Color FX include Echo, Reverb, Pitch, and Filter. The Beat FX include Delay, Echo, Reverb, Flanger, Phaser, and Roll.
These effects can be applied to the mixers’ channels, mic input, and USB audio input.
Effect levers
The DJM-S5 is equipped with 2 large effect levers to control up to 57 effects in Serato DJ Pro. The effects are categorized into 7 groups: Echo, Reverb, Pitch, Filter, Flanger, Phaser and Roll.
Performance Pads
There are 4 performance pads on each deck, each with 13 pad modes. The modes include Hot Cue, Sampler, Roll, Slicer, Censor, and Transport.
The pads are backlit with RGB LEDs that change color to indicate the pad modes. The pads are also velocity-sensitive, so you can control the intensity of the effects.
Scratch Cutter
The Scratch Cutter is a feature that allows you to trigger one of 6 scratch sounds using the effects lever. All you need to do then is move the control vinyl or DVS jog wheel back and forth and the DJM-S5 takes care of the rest.
It is a great way to start learning to scratch without even touching the crossfader.
Crossfader Hot Cue
Another great feature of the DJM-S5 is the crossfader hot cue. This allows you to cue up a sound on one channel, and then trigger it with the crossfader.
You can use this to add scratch sounds to your mix, or just to make it easier to cue up sounds without having to reach for the control vinyl.
The Scratch Cutter and Crossfader Hot Cue features are two innovative tools for any aspiring scratch or battle DJ, with the mixer doing one skill while you master the other.
