Using the Customise button, DJs are able to select and save their preferred settings e.g. Scene FX/drum samples efficiently and directly on the system.  The layout features a Rhythm FX section which provides the user with straightforward access to Audio FX and Overdub sequencer.  There is also a Single Flow button which provides DJs with the option to immediately add Scene FX to Rhythm FX.The RMX-500 has designated buttons for five Rhythm FX (with five drum samples), five Audio FX and ten Scene FX.  There are two large knobs, one for Rhythm FX and one for Scene FX.  They are pressure controlled and can be used to modify FX depth and manage the sub-parameters in one smooth move.

 

The RMX-500 also has the capability of being used as a controller ideal for use with VST/AU/RTAS virtual plug-ins.  The in-built soundcard provides the user with top quality sound output direct from the unit.  Due to it being so light and compact it means the unit is easily transportable.  There are also RCA inputs enabling easy connection to all CDJs in the range and there is the ability to connect an RMX-500 to each CDJ in a set-up.
