Use these advanced tips as a springboard to explore all the
amazing DJ possibilities — and become a true mixing virtuoso!

Creative fill-in 3
Here’s a cool technique for stopping the Pattern and coming back in with the rhythm.
Select P14
and start with V1.
Then, hit PATTERN STOP and the same Variation as shown.
You may want to
slow down the bpm — to better help you hear where to play the changes!
85
Break to a new beat
Here’s a trick that lets you switch between two different rhythms.
Select P16 and A02, then start
V1.
Let the Pattern loop a while, then just before the “one” downbeat (of the bar you want to
change at), press PATTERN STOP to stop the Pattern.
Then, right on the “one,” press Loop1.
If
you do it just right, there will be a short break in the rhythm, just before the Loop kicks in — right
on the beat!
It’s just like switching between two turntables!
To go back from the Loop to the Pattern, press V2 and Loop1 at the same time — right on the
“one”!
