Chapter 9 Key Shifter As a dance production powerhouse, the DJX-II naturally excels in the realm of rhythm. However, it's got important harmonic bases covered as well. One of these is the convenient Key Shifter. 39 Transpose the key The Key Shifter section of the DJX-II lets you take the pitch (or "key") of the overall sound, and transpose it up or down - instantly!

Use higher keys (+1 to +6) to make the sound more tense or brighter, and use the lower keys (-1 to -5) to make the sound more relaxed and subdued.
