The DJ can also overlay the effects one on top of the other to create even more effects.The CD-S6 Ultima has a built in sampler that will allo w the DJ to program samples that can be either used on their own (with or without the disc inserted) or used as an overlay on the music playing. The DJ can adjust a samples volume and pitch range separately from the music; these samples can also be saved to the player's memory and recalled later when the sampled disc is inserted. The large Blue LCD display gives a visual indication of the position of the CD in conjunction with the jog wheel when scratching. It also displays the pitch shift position, BPM, Time and buffer bucket (an indication of the anti-shock memory).
