Kutski presents the CDJ-900 – Part 4 – Slip Mode
Join us as we continue with Part 4 of our exciting CDJ 900 series of clips with Kutski. Here he reveals his favorite feature – the “Slip Mode”. An industry first, where you can manipulate the audio using the platter, loop in & out buttons, reverse and the auto beat loop buttons to seriously manhandle your tracks while crucially always letting the track play on underneath.

Kutski presents the CDJ-900 – Part 5 – Auto Triplet Beat Loop
Following on from our previous adventures with the Auto Beat Loop on the CDJ 900, Kutski takes things a step further by showing us the brand new “triplet” measures on the Auto Beat Loop, together with the revolutionary new “Slip Mode”. As with many tricks it is the way in which they are applied and the style of music that they are used on that make them special. Kutski shows us how this is so true by showing us how this unique effect can really enhance music written in triplets.

Kutski concludes our fascinating CDJ 900 series with further exploration of the Auto Beat Loop (covered earlier in the series) and how it can be used to dramatic effect in conjunction with the exciting “Slip Mode” function using the shorter time measures, a little like the DJM 800 Roll. That’s it for now, so many thanks to Kutski for sharing these juicy CDJ 900 nuggets of advice with us.

In this next clip, part 3 in our series of 6 exclusive CDJ-900 clips with DJ Kutski, he runs us through the familiar CDJ interface, including the various tweaks that the 900 has been given. He shows us the auto beat loop which was previously found on the CDJ-800 but here it has been tightened up to 0.5 frame accuracy. Kutski then demonstrates a very useful application for the auto beat loop for all you podcasters and radio DJs out there as well as showing how it can be used as a sampler and for creating builds using the shorter measures
