Mixer with filters?

I'm ggetting a new dj equipment, some Cdj's, and I've been usinf traktor

I would like to get a mixer with filter options as traktor have.

like Amount, Low Cut, Width,resonance.

I've seen the have filters, but they are just buttons, like flanger.


I just don't want to press a button for the filter, I would like to control everything bymyselfm, but I have seen the interface of the mixers and I don't see any with these features.

maybe they have them, but they don't use the same names (amount, Width, etc.).



Thanks.

You can buy external filters (ask freak or djtrinity about these), and lots of higher end mixers like the xone series (62 or 92 i think) have filters similar to what you describe.. my dxm-06 has a pretty good filter for a crappy mixer..

The electrix filter queen is a nice little filter.
http://www.electrixpro.com/products/filterqueen.html
It's got frequency and resonance settings, 4 types of filters, and an internal lfo and envelope follower to control it. I'm not sure if you can get one new right now, but if you can't you can try to get one used, they're pretty solid so buying them used isn't that bad. Then just hook it into your mixers send/return.

The Allen & Heath Xone VF1 is what you're talking about, and it's really nice(although very expensive).

Unfortunately they don't make them anymore so they're pretty hard to get hold of... if anyone knows where you can get one I'd like to know!

Currently in the process of designing my own filter unit... then hopefully a digital sampler/looper at some point in the future - we'll see how that one turns out!

The Filter Queens are supposed to on sale sometime in the near future. At least I hope so.

Stanton Djf-1 or vermona action filter 2

Stantons resonance is terrible but the vermonas is awesome.
great filters- its actually two in one 19 inch rack unit.

the filters on my xone 32 are more that enough

I just got my 32...they're hoooootttttt

I'm thinking of getting a 32 and 3 cdjs (just bought the first one and have a x1500 now). Where can I get one for cheap? ebay?

I got my mixer from agiprodj.com for 629$

Thanks to everyone for the replys, have been very helpful.

I have another question, those filters you mentioned there, They are only for the master Channel?, I mean if I want to manipulate the sound witht he filters on different channels at the same time, do I need to buy a pir of these filters?

And what's the price range of these filters?

Thanks.

Do not forget to check over the stanton VRM10 mixer, with valve tubes and with filters...

what's your price for it?


I'm in France btw so shipping and such wouldn't be too much of a hassle.


I've been trying to get one on ebay but nobody ever sells one

What are you willing to pay for it?
It's two years old, no damage or what so ever, mail me your price that you are willing to pay for it, i am looking for cdj800, cdj1000 mkII, xone 92, or active speakers...
I'm having pictures of it available
I'm willing to trade it for something in my wantlist...

You need a send/return on your mixer in order to use the filter on any channel. As for using filters on two different channels, you'll either need two filter units, or an Allen & Heath Xone:92 mixer, with two built-in filters.

The Electrix Filter Queen MAP is $149. The Allen & Heath Xone:VF-1 MAP is $599. You should be able to get either of those for less. The Vermona AF-II is just over $300. The Xone:92 MAP is $1699, but can be had for around $1400.

The Filter Queen apparently has some sound quality issues. I would go with a VF-1, but, since you want a mixer with built-in filters, you should go for the Xone:92. To be fair, I have a Xone:92, but would love a VF-1, it's an incredible unit. I haven't used the Vermona. I believe it's a revised version of the Stanton, which has been discontinued.

I'll jump in here and say that www.agiprodj.com has the best prices and best service. I got my Xone:92 from them. Justin and Jason are solid guys.

This is supposed to be coming soon, so uou should check for it.

I was thinkign of getting one, but I'm not really interested in using it for the master channel, I would prefer to use it separately for each channel, as I can do in Traktor DJ Studio, SO I guess, I would have to wait a few years and get a Xone 92 =).

"Soon" was supposed to be a year ago. They're still not out.
