So what exactly is the major difference

between the djm 500 and the djm 600? I've attempted to read what the differences are on a couple of sites, but they usually make it entirely convoluted. The only real major difference I notice is the crossfader curve adjustment is missing on the 500, which isn't the biggest deal to me since I have the crossfader turned off 95% of the time. Is there any real disparity in sound quality?
Inforrrrrrrrrrrm meeeee.... vanquish my curiosityyyyy. |

o'rly? Neat. I was wondering, does the 600's effects auto-synch to the beats as well? |

I seem to remember that the effects are indeed beat effects, like on the 800.
However, the sampler is supposed to be a little tricky to use.

The 600 has a sampler that has already been mentioned and it as some other effects too like the filter. The way the effects perameter works is a little different but still very similar.
The 600 has PFL/Main audio split so you can adjust the amount of main/pfl coming into your headphones. Most new mixers have this but the 500 doesn't.
The 600 has a -26db kill while the 500 is -20db. I personally prefer the -20db. But the more the better to most people.
Other than that I dont really notice anything else. |

The big difference with the 600 regarding the fx is you have an effect depth control - i.e. the level of how much the effect is applied (fading between dry sound and wet sound). This lets you use the fx so much more smoothly - imo the fx are pretty much useless without it.
Also, there are buttons to quickly switch between fixed time intervals for the time based fx such as delay and echo - so you can switch between or instantly set it to 4 beats, 2 beats, 1 beat, 3/4 beat, 1/2 beat, 1/4 beat, etc at the touch of a button (well, you move between consecutive steps... so 1/2 beat to 1/4 beat takes one touch when 3/4 beat to 1/4 beat takes 2 touches, etc) - again something I feel is invaluable for making good use of these kinds of effects. |

Damn, that does sound nice. Because when I implement the effects on the 500 they always sound so abrupt, which is why I usually only use echo when I'm reaching the peaktime part of certain tracks. A wet/dry and buttons for time intervals would be pretty leet. Ah well, the 500 is solid enough. |
