PATTERNS - THE STYLE MODE FFIINNGGEERRIINNGG When Pattern Control is set to on (page 45), the DJX automatically creates the backing tracks - drums, percussion, bass, chords, hits, and other phrases - and changes the chords of the backing right along with you. All you have to do is play single notes or chords in the PATTERN section of the keyboard - and the DJX follows you! Naturally, you can play full chords (like those shown in the chart below), and the pattern will change harmonically in response. When you play single notes, the DJX automatically produces chords that are based on the root note you play and are best suited to the selected style. For example, all single note chords in the Techno style (#001) are minor, all chords for Trip Hop (#002) are minor 7th 11th, etc. This lets you quickly and easily play the most musically useful and stylistically appropriate chord changes - just by pressing a single key! • Playing full chords may not change the pattern chord as intended. For example, playing major seventh chords will not change the chords of a pattern that has minor and dominant seventh phrases and lines. • Chords played in the PATTERN section of the keyboard are also detected and played when the pattern is stopped. In effect, this gives you a "split keyboard," with bass and chords in the left hand and the normally selected voice in the right. Using the key of C as an example, the chart below shows the types of chords that can be recognized. When Part Control is turned on, the range of the PATTERN section may be too narrow for proper recognition of all of the following chords in all twelve keys. For best results when playing full chords in the PATTERN section, turn Part Control off. (See page 59.)

PATTERNS — THE STYLE MODE
Using the key of C as an example, the chart below shows the types of
chords that can be recognized. When Part Control is turned on, the range
of the PATTERN section may be too narrow for proper recognition of all of
the following chords in all twelve keys.
For best results when playing full
chords in the PATTERN section, turn Part Control off.
(See page 59.)
* Notes enclosed in parentheses are optional; the chords will be recognized without them.
When Pattern Control is set to on (page 45), the DJX automatically creates
the backing tracks — drums, percussion, bass, chords, hits, and other
phrases — and changes the chords of the backing right along with you.
All
you have to do is play single notes or chords in the PATTERN section of the
keyboard — and the DJX follows you!
Naturally, you can play full chords (like those shown in the chart below),
and the pattern will change harmonically in response.
When you play
single notes, the DJX automatically produces chords that are based on the
root note you play and are best suited to the selected style.

Recognized Chords (root note: C)
• Playing full chords may
not change the pattern
chord as intended.
For
example, playing major
seventh chords will not
change the chords of a
pattern that has minor and
dominant seventh phrases
and lines.
• Chords played in the
PATTERN section of the
keyboard are also detected
and played when the
pattern is stopped.
In
effect, this gives you a “split
keyboard,” with bass and
chords in the left hand and
the normally selected voice
in the right.
For example, all single note chords in the Techno style (#001) are minor, all
chords for Trip Hop (#002) are minor 7th 11th, etc.
This lets you quickly
and easily play the most musically useful and stylistically appropriate chord
changes — just by pressing a single key!
