Analyzing tracks
Track analysis starts by dragging and dropping a track file or a folder including track
files to the track list of rekordbox.
! If a track is loaded to a deck by pressing the [LOAD] button before the analysis is
completed, it may take time to display BPM and waveform.
! Depending on the number of tracks, some time may be required for analysis.
Using beat FX
Beat FX can make an effect with the tempo (BPM) of the track loaded on the deck.
Beat FX has two effect units such as [FX1] and [FX2], and these units can be set to a
deck on rekordbox dj as you want.
This section explains how to make an effect with setting the effect unit to the
channel 1.

button on the mixer to display [FX panel] on rekordbox dj.

to set the effect unit to the channel 1.
By default, the FX assign [1] on the effect unit is activated.

The selected effect type is displayed on rekordbox dj.

Switching the effect’s tempo mode
With rekordbox dj effects, there are two ways to set the beat FX tempo: with “BPM
auto mode” and “BPM tap mode”.
! By default, the BPM auto mode is set.
BPM auto mode
The track’s BPM value is used as the basis for the effect’s tempo.
BPM tap mode
The BPM used as the base value for the effect is calculated from the interval at
which the [BEATd] button is tapped while pressing the [SHIFT] button.
Switching to the BPM tap mode
Press the [BEATd] button while pressing the [SHIFT] button.
! If the [BEATc] button is pressed while pressing the [SHIFT] button, the mode
