Work out with the Patterns
Here’s where it all starts!
Hit one of the keys (1 - 10) in the PATTERN PLAYER section — and the Pattern starts immedi-
ately.
Hitting another key instantly switches to a different Pattern (actually, a Variation on the
main Pattern).
Since the DJX-II starts the Pattern right away, be careful to press the key in time with the
rhythm.
Practice this a while — there’s no better way to get your timing tight and develop a solid sense
of rhythm!
To stop the Pattern, press PATTERN STOP.
Pattern Player Basics
Start your DJ apprenticeship right here!
The Patterns are the basic building blocks of the
DJX-II sound — they’re the rhythmic foundation for everything else on this dance machine.
