Select from any of the other kits (01 - 51) to use the Activator with a User Pattern. • The actual number of taps needed to tap start a Pattern (Tip 79) depends on the time signature of the User pattern. For example, in the case of a Pattern created in 3/4 beet, tap the BPM/TAP button three times to start the Pattern. 73

The timings indicated in the chart below are for example
purposes only.
The actual timing of the Variations and
the marker meta-events (starting with Variation 2)
depends on the length of the recorded Patterns.
(The
length of each Pattern can be up to 256 measures.)
•
Enter all voice and effect settings in the last three beats
of the Initial Setup area (1|2|000 - 1|4|479).
Do not
include any note event data here.
•
Start recording Variation 1 data from the second mea-
sure (2|1|000).
The length of the data can be from 1 to
256 measures.
All measures must be of one of the fol-
lowing time signatures: 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, or 5/4.
•
Variation 2 begins from the top of the measure directly
following the last measure of Variation 1.
In the chart,
this is listed as 4|1|000; however, the actual timing
depends on the length of Variation 1.
•
The following charts indicate the valid MIDI events for
both the Initial Setup data and the Pattern data.
Make
sure to
NOT
enter any events marked with a dash (—),
nor any events not listed here.

As you create your own Patterns and use them with the DJX-II, keep in mind that these User Patterns differ from the
built-in preset Patterns of the DJX-II in the following ways:
•
The Activator’s Auto kit (00) does not apply to the User Patterns. Select from any of the other kits (01 - 51) to use the
Activator with a User Pattern.
•
The actual number of taps needed to tap start a Pattern (Tip 79) depends on the time signature of the User pattern. For
example, in the case of a Pattern created in 3/4 beet, tap the BPM/TAP button three times to start the Pattern.
