100% true. Everytime I go back to SSL (too scared to use SDJ while spinning video) I'm reminded how much I dig that effect. Versatile, clean sounding effect, probably the crown jewel of the DJ-FX plugin. Unfortunately now that iZotope is handling FX design, that algorithm is probably collecting dust at Serato HQ

Dj Wunder 7:50 AM - 13 December, 2014
I'm confused, was "Echo Out" in SDJ 1.7.2 supposed to be the answer to "Roll Out fast/slow"?
&Midge 8:34 AM - 13 December, 2014
No, Echo out has only ever been that, 'Echo Out'. I hope they will add Echo Out to Single FX mode too and hopefully Roll Out Fast and Slow will be added soon.
dj zaza 9:37 AM - 13 December, 2014
ECHO we are far out of SSL, these effects continue to have distortions. same problem with the echo fade out. you do not notice the poor quality of the effects in Serato DJ.

I've not noticed any distortions (only on the overdrive for obvious reasons!).

The isotope FX are very high quality and are manufactured externally by a respected studio plugin company.

If you're getting distortion then could it be your main output from SDJ running hot?
dj zaza 6:05 PM - 13 December, 2014
my auto gain is set to 89 db, no clip red, use a 62 Rane, and the same effect on SSL, set the same way, it does not produce distortion. it has the same problem with my brother ddj-sz. will record an audio clip to hear the problem.

I think a recording could help find the cause of this. It maybe worth opening a ticket with that DJ Zaza as that does sound pretty nasty and needs looking into.

This is literally one of the main reasons I'm still using SSL and refuse to switch over to serato DJ. Although I don't use the effect for every transition, It has become such a key tool in a decent amount of mixing and transitioning when using filters and what not coming out of a loop or song.

I am shocked it has been brought up over a year ago and still has not been added. Or has it? someone please update me. If not, I guess i'll continue using SSL until Serato decides to get with it regarding this extremely essential effect :)
Dj Owe 9:53 AM - 24 June, 2015
We are still patiently waiting. They added echo out but that sounds nothing like echo out on serato..

I think serato employees are filtering this thread out. Not one techmate or serato employee commented on this thread as far as I can see.

Rollout is basically a brake with pitch shift effect with ability to tweak several of the parameters.

Speaking of which Where are the new EFX packs ... heck this is right up PnT capability especially with all the people midi mapping Pitch Shift buttons and the new Roland controller.

Never seen/heard roll out, trying to pin down what it is, is it just a loop and a slip brake?
Joshua Carl 4:26 PM - 23 July, 2021
yeah, sorta.
the automation of the length was what made it special,

IE
you could re-create it live by
1/2 beat loop
disengage PnT/KeyLock
platter power off/ long slow brake adj
reverb

the variable is/was the platter speed/ brake adj
Scratch live would do the math and the result would always be a (slow or fast) roll
that would be a perfect measure.
so you could always start it at the 3rd and it would end right at the 1 on the next
whether your were playing @ 82 or 132 it would adjust the brake length to be perfect.
you could also toss some echo on the end to add that nice washout.

its sorely miss
BARRY SCOTT 1:52 PM - 25 July, 2021
youtu.be

something like that?
dial 1 controls the loop length
dial 2 controls the brake speed [I like 1 beat over the fx duration so it doesn't fully stop]
dial 3 [when I get round to it] will be the fx duration, coded to 4 beats currently but changing it to a variable is trivial

I might do away with dial 2 as I'm pretty convinced 1 beat longer than duration is the sound I like. But it's there for testing for now.
Joshua Carl 7:17 PM - 25 July, 2021
I’d say that that’s the def the foundation of the effect for sure.
There was a fast/slow variation.
After moving to SDJ, a lot of tried to recreate it.
But that variable was on-the-fly adjusting the brake length.
BARRY SCOTT 3:18 AM - 26 July, 2021
@Joshua Carl thanks.
with vdj it's pretty simple, 1 / get bpm * 60000 = ms/b, then multiply that by your desired beats. take that value and then apply it to the brake command.
The script goes over most users heads but they can just copy & paste the 'clockwork' and not really give a thought to how it actually works.
You guys need a scripting language, 95% wouldn't 'get' it, but that 5% would make some cool stuff and not be +1'ing a thread for 7 years.
[it took me 10 mins to get that prototype up from scratch]

As to fast|slow variations, I'd say a 4 beat duration was slow, what kind of duration was fast? 1, 2 ?
BARRY SCOTT 6:59 AM - 26 July, 2021
Second thoughts duration 8, brake 9 and cranking the loop while active is kind of fun

@&Midge strange it didn't really appear to have any brake fx on that roll out section [well maybe pretty briefly]
