Pioneer REMIX STATION 500 effects unit with instinctive, one-handed control of multiple parameters.

Unique Pressure Controller knobs give simultaneous control of multiple parameters 
Two large, Pressure Controller knobs give DJs access to multi-dimensional manipulation with just one hand. Once an effect or drum sample has been triggered, they can simply twist the knob right/left to manipulate the wet/dry balance, and press it to modulate sub-parameters. Multi-layered FX are made easier and more accessible for unlimited creativity.  

Simple layout designed for instant access to all the unit’s features  
The RMX-500 is divided into three easy-to-use areas, with dedicated buttons giving direct access to a host of features:

Ten auto-quantized Scene FX
Dedicated buttons and Pressure Controller knobs give DJs the power to intuitively build the music up using Mod, Echo, Noise, Spiral Up and Reverb Up, and break it down with High Pass Filter, Low Pass Filter, Zip, Spiral Down and Reverb Down. Each effect has two possible variations – four for Noise – that can be accessed by hitting the Customise button. And Echo+ adds extra echo for an even bigger sound and smoother mix. 

New Rhythm FX with five drum samples and five Audio FX
The RMX-1000’s X-Pad has been replaced with an easier-to-use Rhythm FX section. DJs can use the dedicated buttons to trigger five versatile drum samples – Kick, Snare, Clap, Hi Hat, Cymbal – each of which has six beat/sound variations that can be selected during live performance. Five Audio FX – Roll, Trans, Add, Rev Delay, Offset – add another layer of manipulation, all controlled using the Pressure Controller knobs. The Overdub button enables DJs to sequence their own beats and Rhythm FX combinations on the fly, while the Signal Flow changes the flow of the music to enable DJs to add Scene FX to the Rhythm FX in play; or slice, dice and repeat processed audio from the Scene FX in the opposite direction.

Three handy Release FX buttons
The Release FX buttons have been moved to the centre of the RMX-500, giving DJs easier access to back spins, brakes and echo, helping them exit complex effect combinations in style. The length and interval of each effect can be changed using the Customise button.


Customise button enables on-the-fly changes to settings
The RMX-500 can be customised directly on the hardware, with no need to plug into software on a computer. Selected sounds and settings are automatically stored for next time when the unit is not in use. DJs can customise to:

- Select preferred Scene FX 
- Select from six drum sample variations per sound
- Set the lengths of back spins, brakes and echo
- Change Overdub length between 4 and 8 beats

VST/AU/RTAS control and sound card bring a physical element to producing
In addition to live performances, the versatile RMX can be used in the studio for producing music and mastering DJ sets. Producers simply plug the unit into a computer to control a virtual RMX-500 VST/AU/RTAS plug-in – without using the mouse or keyboard – and run virtual instances on as many channels as their processor can handle. Plus an on-board sound card and stereo jack provide a high-quality audio output for their headphones or speakers.
