26 Scratch Pad arpeggios The Scratch Pad has so much more than just scratch sounds! For some examples of how musical you can get with the Scratch Pad, check out the Arpeggiator kits. Try this out! Select P29 and start V A3. Call up Scratch 49. Now the Scratch Pad plays arpeggiated phrases in time with the rhythm. Mix the arpeggios in with the Pattern and create your own sophisticated, multi-textured arrangements! You can keep the arpeggios playing indefinitely - even when the Scratch Pad is stopped - by pressing LOOP. Try working the Scratch Pad in different ways - rotating the pad in full turns, and changing speed, too. Notice how the arpeggios get higher or lower in pitch, depending on how fast you turn the pad! 49 27 Scratch Pad sound effects The DJX-IIB's Scratch Pad has a slew of special sound effects you can fly into your tracks and give your mixes a unique, dynamic touch. Select Scratch 63. Turn the Scratch Pad clockwise to get one sound effect, and turn it counterclockwise to get a different sound! 63 28 Scratch low, scratch high... The pitch of the Scratch Pad depends on how fast you scratch - just like a real turntable! To get real low and grainy, turn the pad real slowly. For an edgy, high-pitched scratch, move the pad fast. Play around with this, and experiment with different Scratch kits! 30
