PRECAUTIONS
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
* Please keep these precautions in a safe place for future reference.
WARNING
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Do not open the instrument or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or modify them in any way. The instrument contains no user-serviceable parts. If it should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
• Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids which might spill into any openings.
• If the AC adaptor cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is a sudden loss of sound during use of the instrument, or if any unusual smells or smoke should appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off the power switch, disconnect the adaptor plug from the outlet, and have the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
• Use the specified adaptor (PA-5B, PA-5C or an equivalent recommended by Yamaha) only. Using the wrong adaptor can result in damage to the instrument or overheating.
• Before cleaning the instrument, always remove the electric plug from the outlet. Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.
• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have accumulated on it.
CAUTION
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage to the instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Do not place the AC adaptor cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators, and do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, place heavy objects on it, or place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip over, or roll anything over it.
• When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always hold the plug itself and not the cord.
• Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multiple-connector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause overheating in the outlet.
• Unplug the AC power adaptor when not using the instrument, or during electrical storms.
• Always make sure all batteries are inserted in conformity with the +/- polarity markings. Failure to do so might result in overheating, fire, or battery fluid leakage.
• Always replace all batteries at the same time. Do not use new batteries together with old ones. Also, do not mix battery types, such as alkaline batteries with manganese batteries, or batteries from different makers, or different types of batteries from the same maker, since this can cause overheating, fire, or battery fluid leakage.
• Do not dispose of batteries in fire.
• Do not attempt to recharge batteries that are not intended to be charged.
• When the batteries run out, or if the instrument is not to be used for a long time, remove the batteries from the instrument to prevent possible leakage of the battery fluid.
• Keep batteries away from children.
• If the batteries do leak, avoid contact with the leaked fluid. If the battery fluid should come in contact with your eyes, mouth, or skin, wash immediately with water and consult a doctor. Battery fluid is corrosive and may possibly cause loss of sight or chemical burns.
• Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn off the power for all components. Before turning the power on or off for all components, set all volume levels to minimum. Also, be sure to set the volumes of all components at their minimum levels and gradually raise the volume controls while playing the instrument to set the desired listening level.
• Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the day) to prevent the possibility of panel disfiguration or damage to the internal components.
• Do not use the instrument near other electrical products such as televisions, radios, or speakers, since this might cause interference which can affect proper operation of the other products.
• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over.
• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected adaptor and other cables.
• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths.
Also, do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument, since this might discolor the panel or keyboard.
• Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the instrument, and do not use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors.
• Use only the stand specified for the instrument. When attaching the stand or rack, use the provided screws only. Failure to do so could cause damage to the internal components or result in the instrument falling over.
• Do not operate the instrument for a long period of time at a high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.
■ SAVING USER DATA
• Always save data to an external device such as the Yamaha MIDI data filer
MDF3 frequently, in order to help prevent the loss of important data due to a malfunction or user operating error.
Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modifications to the instrument, or data that is lost or destroyed.
Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.
Make sure to discard used batteries according to local regulations.

Changing the Scratch Pad CD
Included with the DJX-IIB is a special CD-ROM disc. The disc normally serves as a “platter” for the Scratch Pad function. Since special software is included on the disk, you will need to remove the disc to install the software.
If you have a CD with a particular design that you like, you can replace the included CD-
ROM disc with a disc of your choice. To change the disc, follow the instructions below.
• The DJX-IIB does not read audio or other data from the Scratch Pad CD or CD-ROM. It merely functions as a physical “platter” for controlling the Scratch Pad, and provides added decoration. Feel free to install your own CD for different decoration if you like!
• Make sure to treat the included CD-ROM disc with care and be very careful not to damage it (especially during removal), since the reverse side of the disc contains important data.
Yamaha cannot be responsible for any loss of data resulting from mishandling of the disc.
(Normal use of the disc as a Scratch Pad will not damage the disc.)
1
Remove the indicated screw with a screwdriver.
2
Remove the CD-ROM disk.
3
Place the desired audio CD (or CD-ROM) on the
Scratch Pad.
4
Replace and tighten the screw.

Rear Panel & Connections
• Connect the AC adaptor
(PA-5B, PA-5C or other adaptor specifically recommended by Yamaha) to the power supply jack.
CD MD
A standard pair of stereo headphones can be plugged in here for private practice or late-night playing. The internal stereo speaker system is automatically shut off when a pair of headphones is plugged into the PHONES jack.
• Do not listen with the headphones at high volume for long periods of time. Doing so may cause hearing loss.
Connect an external audio device (such as a CD player or MD player) to the
AUDIO BPM IN terminal, and play back the desired audio passage. The audio can be used with the Audio bpm Counter function, in which the DJX-IIB reads the tempo of the audio and synchronizes the pattern rhythm to it.
The DJX-IIB also features MIDI terminals, allowing you to interface the
DJX-IIB with other MIDI instruments and devices. (For more information,
Amplifier
The LINE OUT jacks are used to send the DJX-IIB output to a keyboard amplifier, stereo sound system, mixing console, or tape recorder.
• Connect the DJX-IIB to external equipment only after turning off power for all devices. To prevent damage to the speakers, set the volume of the external devices at the minimum setting before connecting them. Failure to observe these cautions may result in electric shock or equipment damage.

Setting Up
(Power supply connections)
Although the DJX-IIB will run either from an optional AC adaptor or batteries, Yamaha recommends use of the more environmentally safe AC adaptor. Follow the instructions below according to the power source you intend to use.
The batteries should be considered an auxiliary power source for data backup (page13).
■ Using An Optional AC Power Adaptor • • • • • • • • • • • •
1
Make sure that the STANDBY/ON switch of the DJX-IIB is set to STANDBY.
2
Connect the AC adaptor (PA-5B, PA-5C or other adaptor specifically recommended by Yamaha) to the power supply jack.
3
Plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.
To disconnect the adaptor: Set the STANDBY/ON switch to STANDBY, then unplug the adaptor from the AC outlet, and then disconnect it from the DJX-IIB power supply jack.
• Use ONLY a Yamaha PA-5B or PA-5C AC Power Adaptor (or other adaptor specifically recommended by Yamaha) to power your instrument from the AC mains. The use of other adaptors may result in irreparable damage to both the adaptor and the DJX-IIB.
• Unplug the AC Power Adaptor when not using the DJX-IIB, or during electrical storms.
■ Using Batteries • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
For battery operation the DJX-IIB requires six 1.5V SUM-1, “D” size, R-20 or equivalent batteries. When the batteries need to be replaced, the volume may be reduced, the sound may be distorted, and other problems may occur. When this happens, turn the power off and replace the batteries.
Replace the batteries as follows:
1
Open the battery compartment cover located on the instrument’s bottom panel.
2
Insert the six new batteries, being careful to follow the polarity markings on the inside of the compartment.
3
Replace the compartment cover, making sure that it locks firmly in place.
• Plugging or unplugging the AC power adaptor while the batteries are installed will reset the DJX-
IIB to the defaults.
• If you play the DJX-IIB with the volume at its maximum level when the batteries are used, the life of the batteries will be shorter.
Use a coin or a slotted screwdriver to unlock the cover
12
• When the batteries run down, replace them with a complete set of six new batteries.
NEVER mix old and new batteries.
• Do not use different kinds of batteries (e.g. alkaline and manganese) at the same time.
• If the instrument is not to be in use for a long time, remove the batteries from it, in order to prevent possible fluid leakage from the battery.
Switching On the Power
Once you've set up your DJX-IIB, try turning the power on.
Make sure your sound system's main level/volume control(s) and the DJX-IIB volume control are turned all the way down prior to turning the power on.
0J'.
Set the MASTER VOLUME knob to "min."
Turn the power ON by pressing the
STANDBY/ON switch.
Press the STANDBY/ON switch again to turn the power OFF.
• Even when the switch is in the “STANDBY” position, electricity is still flowing to the instrument at the minimum level. When you are not using the DJX-IIB for a long time, make sure you unplug the AC power adaptor from the wall AC outlet, and/or remove the batteries from the instrument.
Data Backup & Initialization
Except for the User Pattern data, all DJX-IIB panel settings are reset to their initial settings whenever the power is turned on. The Use Pattern data is backed up (i.e. retained in memory) as long as an AC adaptor is connected or a set of batteries is installed.
All data can be initialized and restored to the factory preset condition by turning on the power while holding the LOOP button. “Clr!” will appear briefly on the display.
C|r'.
• All settings listeda bove, will be erased and/or changed when the data initialization procedure is carried out.
• Carrying out the data initialization procedure will usually restore normal operation if the DJX-IIB freezes or begins to act erratically for any reason.

Pattern Player Basics
Start your DJ apprenticeship right here! The Patterns are the basic building blocks of the
DJX-IIB sound — they’re the rhythmic foundation for everything else on this dance machine.
1
Work out with the Patterns!
Here’s where it all starts!
Hit one of the buttons in the PATTERN PLAYER section — and the Pattern starts immediately.
Hitting another button instantly switches to a different Pattern (actually, a variation on the main
Pattern).
Since the DJX-IIB starts the Pattern right away, be careful to press the key in time with the rhythm
Practice this a while — there’s no better way to get your timing tight and develop a solid sense of rhythm!
To stop the Pattern, press PATTERN STOP.
Chapter 1 Pattern Player Basics
2
Switch between Banks
Even though there are five buttons in the PATTERN PLAYER, you have a total of ten Patterns at your disposal — thanks to the A/B BANK button.
Each Bank, A and B, has five Patterns. When the A/B BANK button lamp is off, you can play Patterns A1 to A5. When the A/B BANK button lamp is on, you can play Patterns B1 to B5. Pressing the button doesn’t change the Pattern, it only enables the Bank. So if you press the A/B BANK button by mistake, don’t worry — simply press it again, and you’re back to the original bank, without any sound changes!
Try this example:
1 Start Pattern A1.
Press Pattern button 1.
2 Select Bank B.
Press the A/B BANK button. The A/B BANK button is on and Pattern button 1 flashes. (The flashing Pattern button indicates Bank select standby.).
Flashes
Notice that Pattern A1 is still playing. It will only change if you press another Pattern button..
3 Press Pattern button 3.
Now Pattern B3 is playing.
4 Select Bank A again.
The A/B BANK button is off and Pattern button 3 flashes.
Flashes
5 Press Pattern button 1.
Now you’re back to Pattern A1.

Mixing Main and Fill-in Patterns
Try mixing it up!
As you learned in Tip 2 above, each of the DJX-IIB’s Patterns has ten different Variations. The main Patterns are played with buttons 1, 3, and 5, while the fill-in Patterns are played with buttons 2 and 4. (Fillin Patterns are usually used as dynamic breaks or transitions.)
In general, the higher the Variation number (A1 - A5, B1 - B5), the busier or more complex the Patterns become.
Listen carefully to each Pattern — remember how each of them sound — then play them one after another for your own special performance!

Try out some different patterns
To change the Pattern, hold down PATTERN and simultaneously turn the Scratch Pad.
Check the display to see what you’re selecting. The two numbers on the left indicate the current
Pattern number, and the numbers on the right indicate the new one. Turn the Scratch Pad clockwise to advance through the Pattern numbers; turn it clockwise to go back.
But wait! The new Pattern doesn’t actually start until you release PATTERN! Keep holding down the button while the Pattern loops, then release PATTERN on the “one” downbeat (see Tip 5) — the
Pattern changes immediately!

Come down on the “one”!
The key to great timing is knowing where the “one” is. And the “one” is the first beat in a four-beat
Pattern. Another key to timing is feeling the downbeats (four downbeats to a Pattern). The DJX-IIB makes this easy to do!
Check this out:
While the Pattern is playing, the dot in the bpm display flashes rhythmically. (If the bpm display is not shown, press BPM/TAP.)
Try hitting a different Pattern button on the “one” downbeat — when you’ve hit it right, you’ll feel it!
If you’re having trouble coming down on the “one,” here’s a handy hint that’ll help you keep time...
Double-up your count! This works especially well for slower rhythms — because even slight deviations from the beat can put glitches in your groove!
For a four-beat measure, count two on every beat — like this: 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 8.
Or count: “One-and-two-and-three-and-four-and...”
One Two Three Four
Count:
( or:

Try this technique while changing Patterns. Press a new PATTERN PLAYER button every bar, right on the “one,” all the time counting out the beat like above. It’s a fool-proof way to master the groove!
Chapter 1 Pattern Player Basics

Keep the bpm steady!
Once you’ve started a Pattern, it's better to keep it playing at a steady bpm — unless you’re aiming for special effects and sudden tempo changes.
Actually, the DJX-IIB takes care of this for you — automatically! If you change Patterns while a
Pattern is playing, the bpm setting stays the same. However, if you stop the Pattern and start a new one, the bpm is automatically reset to best suit the newly selected Pattern.
While the Pattern is running...

Live Effector Basics
The effects of the DJX-IIB are more than just frosting on the cake — they’re powerful tools that can completely transform the sounds and rhythms, and put a whole new spin on your tracks!
7
What is the Live Effector?
Here’s where you can really get down and dirty with your beats!
The Live Effector gives you a wide variety of real-time effects that let you mangle and munge the sound in wild and exciting ways. All of the sounds of the DJX-IIB — the Patterns and the Scratches
(
→ page 26) — are processed by these versatile sound shapers. You can turn the effects on and
off in time with the rhythm, and adjust a pre-programmed key effect parameter and the balance
(depth) of the effect in realtime as the Pattern plays.
A continuously lit LED indicates that the effect is selected. When the effect is turned on, the LED flashes in time with the Pattern.
• To keep the effect locked on:
Simultaneously hold the toggle switch on and press SELECT.
To “unlock” the effect, turn the effect on and off again.
Turns the effect ON or OFF.
Changes the sound of the effect.
(Each effect lets you control a different key parameter.)
Changes the depth of the effect. When set to "Dry," the effect cannot be heard.
When the effect is set to on, turning the
BALANCE knob may generate noise.
Press this to change the effect type.
When changing the effect type, the new type is applied immediately from the next note (with the exception of the Slice type).
• Doing too much at once?
Changing the effect type while the effect is on and a
Pattern is playing back and/or while you’re playing the
Scratch Pad can overload the processing power of the DJX-IIB. This could affect the sound in different ways, making the overall sound softer or changing the sound of the effect in unexpected or undesirable ways. For best results, stop the Pattern and/or stop playing the Scratch Pad briefly before changing the effect type. Better yet, turn the effect off briefly, then change the type and turn it back on again as needed.
◆ Tech note:
You can change the effect type while the effect is on in the "hold" condition; however, it cannot be changed when holding down the toggle switch manually. q Start the Pattern.
w Select the desired effect, turn the Effect on, and twist the knobs.
e Stop the Pattern.
Chapter 2 Live Effector Basics

Distortion
This popular effect lets you distort the sound — from a soft grunge to a full-on metallic assault. Turn the CONTROL knob to the right for more crunch and bite.
9
Auto Pan
Get your sound moving in space! This effect shifts the sound in the stereo image back and forth between hard left and hard right. Setting the CONTROL knob toward max speeds up the panning so much, the sound seems to be modulated — like on a synthesizer!
10
Ring Modulation
Here’s an ultracool effect straight out of analog synthesizers! The Ring Modulator changes the sound dramatically by “overdriving” the oscillator — as set with the CONTROL knob. This effect can completely destroy the original pitch of the sound while generating a whole new set of pitches and harmonics, for a massively dynamic metallic sound. Use the CONTROL knob to change the frequency of the oscillator.
Use this sparingly! You’ll want to save this awesome, powerful effect for certain climactic parts of your performance — and then blow people away!
11
Flanger
This modulation-based effect produces a “swishing” or “tunneling” sound.
Changing the speed of the modulation with the CONTROL knob produces a characteristic metallic, sweeping effect — much like a jet airplane taking off.
21
22
12
Phaser
The Phaser effect is similar to Flanger (in Tip 11 above), but more subtle — not quite as dramatic. Phaser is good for adding a little bit of warm animation and movement to the sound. Use the CONTROL knob to change the speed of the modulation.
13
Slice
Chop up the beat, slice and dice — completely change the feel of the rhythm!
Use the CONTROL knob on this happening effect to change the “slice” patterns, and come up with new rhythms on the fly!
14
Delay
Delay is a popular effect that repeats the sound in rhythm. (There’s a related
Echo effect; see Tip 15 below.) And check this out — no rocket science needed!
The DJX-IIB automatically syncs the delay time to the current bpm, so you don't even need to re-adjust the knob, even when the bpm is changed. Use the CON-
TROL knob to change the relative delay time to match the rhythmic effect you want. The DJX-IIB syncs to note values — 16th, 8th, 4th, triplet, etc.
◆
Be careful — changing the delay time (by changing the CONTROL knob or bpm) may result in some noise.
Chapter 2 Live Effector Basics
15
Echo
Like Delay (in Tip 14 above), Echo produces repeats of the sound for rhythmic effect. However, the CONTROL knob is used to change the number of repeats
(also called “feedback”). Naturally, the DJX-IIB automatically syncs this effect to the bpm of the Pattern.
16
Lo-Fi
Need to grunge up your sound, but Distortion is too nasty for you? This useful effect lets you slap that retro, lo-rez sound onto your beats — just like they do in hip-hop, trip-hop and other styles. Lo-Fi gives the sound just a little bit of
“dirt” — and lets you add a vintage analog-like touch to your performance.
17
Wah
Wah is a special moving filter effect that gives a funky feel to the sound. Use the CONTROL knob to change the speed of the filter motion. Setting this toward the maximum produces a trembling sound.
23
24
Chapter 3
Isolator Basics
More sonic control to you! The Isolator lets you tailor the sound just the way you want it — phat and round, thin and edgy, or big and banging!
18
Tweak the sound just right!
Need a beefier low end? Want to put some edge and shimmer in the top? Tweak these knobs to your heart’s content, and get the sound just the way you want it! Try turning the Low and High knobs of the Isolator a little bit to the right, and make the sound more punchy. Try other settings as well to get the sound just right!
Each of these knobs boosts or cuts a general frequency band of the sound. Technically, the range for each knob is -12dB to +12dB.
◆
Be careful with this, though — if the Master Volume is at or near the max, boosting these frequencies can result in some nasty distortion!
◆
Helpful hint: Avoid boosting the level (when possible). For example, if you want to emphasize the highs and lows, add a gentle mid cut instead.
Boosted low end, slightly crisper high end.
Low Mid High
Very tinny sound — almost no bass, very bright and brittle high end.

Filter Basics
Pump up the energy on the dance floor a serious notch or two with these powerful filter tools!
19
Cutoff and Resonance
The CUTOFF and RESONANCE knobs control the filter effects. And what are “filter effects,” you ask? Well, filters have been used for a long time with analog synthesizers, and in the right hands they are capable of turning static, boring sounds into something really dynamic and animated.
Turn CUTOFF to the left and the sound becomes darker or “muffled.” Turn CUTOFF to the right and the sound becomes brighter. The RESONANCE knob controls how sharp the peak of the filter is.
Turn RESONANCE to the right and the filter peak becomes sharp and pronounced. Turn the RESO-
NANCE left and the filter becomes flat.
Darker Brighter
Volume
Cutoff frequency
Volume
Resonance
Frequency (pitch) Frequency (pitch)
These frequencies are
“passed” by the filter.
Try tweaking CUTOFF while RESONANCE is at about 2 or 3 o'clock (see below). The filter becomes sharper, and you can actually hear the filter peak moving according to the CUTOFF knob position.
There’s no way to adequately describe this effect in words — you just have to try it out for yourself, and hear how awesome it can make your music sound!

Quarter-note scratching
Now that you’ve tried out the Scratch Pad and some different Scratch sounds, let’s get started using the Scratch Pad in real musical examples.
Quarter notes are the simplest to scratch in time with, since you simply scratch on every downbeat.
In this example, select P12 and start up V A1. Rock the pad forward (clockwise) on the first downbeat, then rock it back (counter-clockwise) on the second downbeat, and so on. Notice that the scratch sound is actually a musical part that changes with the chords in the Pattern. Tap your foot or your heel with the beats (count out loud if you want, too!), and try to hit each beat with a scratch!
Try different scratch “lengths” as well — for example, scratching forward for a short 1/8 turn, and back for a long 1/2 turn. Stay on the beat!
One Two Three Four
27
22
Eighth-note scratching
Once you’ve mastered quarter-note scratching, eighth notes are real easy! Just double up your scratching and play two scratches (forward and back) on every beat!
For this example, call up P39 and play V B5. For your scratching, try out Scratch 01 and rock the pad back and forth in short 1/8 turns.
One Two Three Four
23
Sixteenth-note scratching
Now let’s go a little bit faster. Since sixteenth notes are half the value of eighth notes, you’ll have to play twice as fast! This means four scratches (forward-back-forward-back) on every beat.
For this exercise, call up P41 and play V A1. For an alternate scratch, try out Scratch 13 and (like in
Tip 22 above) work the pad in short 1/8 turns.
One Two Three Four
28
Slow down the bpm (Tip 39) if necessary — this will let you lock into the rhythm more easily.
Chapter 5 Scratch Pad Clinic
24
Shuffle feel
Here things get a bit tricky! But don’t worry — once you feel the rhythm, you’ll have no trouble playing it!
Shuffle rhythms are a cornerstone of hip-hop music, and feature a heavy “swing” feel. Scratching to this rhythm is tricky since the forward scratch and backward scratch are not even — you’ll have to do one slower than the other!
To get you into this, select P36 and start V B1. Try locking into the hi-hat groove — that’s where the shuffle is!
One Two Three Four
25
Triggering drum loops from the
Scratch Pad
A common DJ technique is to scratch a vinyl loop a couple of times, then let the rhythm play. On the DJX-IIB, you can do the same thing!
Call up Scratch 01 and press the LOOP button (the lamp lights). Now, give the Scratch Pad a light push or pull, and the drum loop starts!
To stop the drum loop, press LOOP again (or press PATTERN STOP).
29
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...
30
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!
Chapter 5 Scratch Pad Clinic
29
Stop the turntable
You’ve heard the effect — where the whole track drops in pitch and slows down to a grinding halt!
Guess what — you can do the same thing on the DJX-IIB, and have fingertip control over it, too!
Select Scratch 72. This assigns the Scratch Pad to control both pitch and bpm simultaneously.
Spin the pad counter-clockwise — and hear the pitch go down and the bpm slow down. Naturally, the bpm value is shown in the display as well. Turning the pad continuously until the display shows
“- - - -” brings everything to a grinding halt — just like turning off the power on a turntable!
72
108.5
q w
---.-
Press the LOOP button, and the “turntable” starts up again! The Pattern starts at low pitch and bpm, and quickly works its way back up to speed. An awesome effect that cranks up the excitement factor a couple more notches!
In a variation on this, try spinning the pad clockwise slowly a few turns to bring the pitch and speed up, then press LOOP. This gives you a more gradual build-up.
30
Give the Scratch Pad a new face!
Sure, this tip doesn’t change the sound — but you CAN give the Scratch Pad a new look by swapping discs!
If you’ve got a CD or CD-ROM disc with a design you like, you can easily attach it to the Scratch Pad
platter. For instructions on how to do this, see “Changing the Scratch Pad CD” on page 10.
31
CD-ROM goodies
The CD-ROM on the Scratch Pad actually contains a wealth of interesting and useful stuff for your
DJX-IIB! It’s compatible with both Windows 95/98 and Macintosh, and features the toys and tools listed below.

Part Mixer Basics
Now that you’ve got your rhythm chops up to speed and some DJ tricks up your sleeve, it’s time to work on the Parts! This chapter gives you the keys to improvising interesting arrangements and instrumental textures. Not to mention creating some slammin’ and smokin’ tracks!
32
What is a Part?
The DJX-IIB Patterns are made up of several different instrument Parts: Kick, Snare, Hi-Hat, Percussion, Bass, and pitched Phrases. Each Part has its own unique function and sound within the rhythm.
BASS KICK SNARE HI-HAT PERCUSSION PHRASE1 PHRASE2 PHRASE3
The Part Mixer puts you in the producer’s seat — it lets you throw Parts in and drop Parts out in real time with the Scratch Pad, allowing you to arrange on the fly!
Part Mixer is contained in the Scratch kits — just select Scratch 73. (If Scratch 00 is currently up, simply hold down SCRATCH and turn the Scratch Pad back a “notch” to 73!)
73
32
33
Take the console and remix the Parts!
Step up to the mixer and start juggling the arrangement around! When the Part Mixer “kit” is called up (see Tip 32 above), you can mute certain Parts by turning the pad counter-clockwise about 1/4 turn or 90°. Likewise, if you’ve taken Parts out, you can bring them back in by turning the pad back clockwise by the same amount.
◆ Tech note The specific Parts that are muted and the order in which they are brought in and out of the mix differs according to the selected Pattern.

Extra texture!
Work on your instrument textures. All the mixmasters and mixologists do it! Why? Because it works like a charm!
Here’s a specific example to get you started. Select P05. Before starting the Pattern, spin the pad counter-clockwise two full rotations. (Make sure Part Mixer is selected!) This takes the Part mix down to the bare bones! Now, start V A1.
Let the Pattern carry on for a while. Then turn the pad clockwise 1/4 of the way to change the texture. Keep doing this, letting each instrument group play for a while before bringing in the next.
Also, try going back — turning the pad counter-clockwise to take Parts out of the mix. Then, when you want to get all the Parts happening, simply press LOOP (as in the “Helpful hint” in Tip 33 above).
Experiment with this — on the example Pattern and others — and let your ears be the judge.
Above all, have fun! After all, this is the way the pros build up the sound.

Chapter 7
Crossfader Basics
The DJX-IIB has a feather-touch Crossfader — just like those found on real DJ mixers
— that lets you crossfade between your beats and your scratching!
35
Work the Crossfader!
This short-throw, feather-touch Crossfader gives you easy and fast control over the Pattern/Scratch balance. The center spot has a lot of leeway and is very forgiving — just get the Crossfader somewhere near the middle and the level balance is equal. To hear only the Pattern, move the fader all the way to the left; to hear only the Scratch, move it all the way to the right.
To hear only the Pattern, move the fader all the way to the left.
To hear only the Scratch, move it all the way to the right.
◆ Helpful hint:
Want to work the Crossfader the opposite way — with the Scratch Pad sound on the left and the
Pattern sound on the right? If you feel more comfortable with that arrangement, this operation’s for you!
Simultaneously hold down the SCRATCH button and turn the power on. This reverses the operation of the Crossfader. To restore normal operation, simply turn the power off and back on again as usual.
36
Mute the Pattern
Sometimes you’ll want to cut the Pattern out of the mix — maybe to work out on the Scratch Pad for a while — then bring it back in instantly. The Crossfader is a great way to do this — fast and easy!
Simply move the fader all the way to the right — preferably just before the “one” downbeat. To bring the Pattern back in from the “one,” flip the Crossfader back to the left and hit the Pattern button, all in one motion.
Chapter 7 Crossfader Basics
37
Crossfader cuts
This is one of the most basic moves in the DJ’s collection of Crossfader techniques — cutting in with a scratch.
Hit a Pattern and keep the Crossfader all the way to the left so that only the Pattern is heard. While the Pattern is playing, work the Scratch Pad (even though you can’t hear it). Whip the fader to the right and then back left quickly. If you do it right, you’ll get a brief hit of the scratch — without interrupting the flow of the rhythm!
Once you get the hang of it — and you think your scratching chops are up to it — try working the
Scratch Pad only when you flick the Crossfader!

Transpose the key
The Key Shifter section of the DJX-IIB lets you take the pitch (or “key”) of the overall sound, and transpose it up or down — instantly!
Believe it or not, changing the key of the overall sound makes subtle but fundamental changes to the character of the sound as well. 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.
To change the key, hold down the KEY SHIFTER button and simultaneously turn the Scratch Pad.
The amount of shift is shown in the display (-5 to 0 to +6, with 0 being normal pitch). Keep holding down the button until the point at which you want to change key, then release it — the key changes to the new setting instantly!
Key Shifter is especially convenient when you’re using the DJX-IIB with an external sound source, such as CD or vinyl — letting you match the key of the Pattern to the key on the external source!

Change the bpm
Another sure-fire way to stir things up is to play with the bpm. Turn up the bpm and turn up the heat!
Press BPM/TAP once and turn the scratch pad. For you techies, the bpm range is 32.0 - 280.0. try starting the Pattern at a slower-than-normal bpm, then gradually bring the bpm up in speed to get the groove really happening!
◆
Be careful! If the Pattern is stopped and you turn the scratch pad past 280.0, “Sync” appears in
the display and the DJX-IIB goes into the Sync Mode (see page 66). To get out of this mode, simply
turn the scratch pad clockwise, until bpm values appear in the display again.

Tweak the cutoff
Select P06 and start V A1. Set RESONANCE to about 2 or 3 o'clock, then slowly turn the CUTOFF knob to create a slow sweeping effect. Twiddle the knob back and forth quickly and create a wahwah like trembling effect.

Wah-wah scratching
Here’s a cool effect you can use to funkify your tracks! It’s like running a turntable through a wahwah pedal. The settings suggested here work especially well with Scratch 01, but you may want to experiment with other settings when using other Scratch kits.
Set RESONANCE to max then turn the CUTOFF knob back and forth between 7 and 10 o’clock while playing the scratch sound. Try to keep the groove — both in your scratching and your knob turning!

Warped vinyl and a cheap turntable!
A lot of dance styles call for a lo-fi, analog sound. This simple trick lets you mimic the wow and flutter of a warped record — or a bad turntable!
Select Scratch 72 to call up the Pitch & bpm “kit” — this lets you speed up and slow down the Pattern. While the Pattern is playing, move the Scratch Pad back and forth slowly and over a short distance — just enough to waver the pitch up and down a little. For even greater lo-fi “realism,” try using the Lo-Fi effect (Tip 16).
46
Scratch Drum Loops in sync
Here’s a real convenient feature! You’ll never have to worry about your Scratch Pad Drum Loops drifting out of time — the DJX-IIB automatically matches up the bpm of the loops to the bpm of the
Pattern. (For information on playing Drum Loops, see Tip 25.)
However, the DJX-IIB can’t sync up your loops if you don’t play them on time! Be careful to turn the Scratch Pad right on the beat — just as you did with the Patterns. If you don’t hit LOOP in rhythm, just press it again to turn it off, then try again!
47
Mute the Scratch
The Scratch Pad is a sensitive little beast — even the slightest touch can put a scratch in your mix.
For those times you want to make sure the scratching stays out of the way of the Pattern, move the
Crossfader all the way to the left.

Hitting a new Pattern and Variation
— at the same time!
There will be times when you’ll want to change not only to a new Pattern, but to a specific Variation
— instantly and at the same time. Here’s the best way to do that!
First, simultaneously hold down PATTERN and turn the Scratch Pad to call up the new Pattern number. Remember to keep holding down PATTERN! Then — just at the “one” downbeat in the Pattern
— press the desired Pattern button. Both the Pattern number and the Variation number change simultaneously.

Finally (without releasing the PATTERN button), press the desired PATTERN PLAYER button — just at the “one” downbeat in the Pattern. The Pattern number, the Bank and the Variation number all change simultaneously!

50
Break to a new Pattern!
One sure-fire method to turn up the heat on the dance floor is to use a break or a drop-out just before hitting a new Pattern! Here, we’ll try dropping everything out for a full measure (four beats).
While the first Pattern is playing, count the beat in your mind and tap it out with your heel — to make sure you’re locked into the groove! At the same time, call up the new Pattern by simultaneously holding down PATTERN and turning the Scratch Pad. Remember to keep holding down
PATTERN! Then — right on the “one” downbeat — press PATTERN STOP. Keep counting while you hold the button — 1 - 2 - 3 - 4! Finally, on the next “one,” press the desired Pattern button.
Try this out with P08, V A4 as the first Pattern (good for a four-beat intro!), and break to P09, V A1.
As always, timing is everything! Whether you break for one beat, two beats, or four — make sure you come in with the next rhythm right on the “one”!

One-bar Patterns — all in a row!
Nearly all of the DJX-IIB’s Patterns change every bar (four beats). Some loop in two-bar patterns, some loop every four bars. Some Patterns have more obvious changes than others (for example, listen to P59, V A1), but all have some sort of musical or textural progression that make the music flow and breathe.
You can create a different kind of flow by playing different Patterns in a row, each Pattern lasting just one bar. Select P59, and play V A1, A2, A3, and A4 like this:
One Two Three Four One Two Three Four One Two Three Four One Two Three Four
Hit A1!
Hit A3!
Hit A2!
Hit A4!
Repeat the above passage for about four or eight times, then switch to this:

Crossfader Power
Tips
52
Quick Crossfader scratching
Here’s a cool way to change the sound of a Pattern — and put your personal scratch touches on it — without disrupting the flow of the rhythm!
Select P50 and start V A1. Also, call up Scratch 01. While the Pattern is playing, try scratching along with the rhythm
— just to get in the groove. As you keep working the Scratch Pad, flick the Crossfader on the beat, between hard left and hard right, like this:
One Two Three Four
Flick it fast! Make sure the Pattern plays on the “one” and “three,” while your scratching comes down on the “two” and
“four” backbeats. And keep scratching even while only the Pattern is playing — so you stay in the pocket! Try other variations on this, cutting in to a Pattern with short scratch fills and accents.
53
Long Crossfader scratching
This one’s going to take a bit of practice! Like Tip 52 above, try flicking the Crossfader between the Pattern and your scratching — but this time, hang with the scratch for one full bar!
That’s right — scratch for four beats, then come back in with the Pattern on the “one.” The reason this is tricky is because you have to rely on your body and mind as the timekeeper until you flick back to the Pattern.
◆
Helpful hints:
• Tap out the beat with your foot. Try to flick the Crossfader back just before the “one.”
• Double-up the count for slower rhythms (see Tip 5).
• Try practicing your fader-flicking without the Scratch Pad at first. Then, when you’ve got it down, bring in the scratch!
One Two Three Four One Two Three Four One Two Three Four One Two Three Four
54
Pattern loop vs. scratch loop
Try Tips 52 and 53 with a Drum Loop instead of a scratch! Since the DJX-IIB keeps the Drum Loop in sync with the
Pattern, you can switch seamlessly between the two — and create a ton of new rhythms!
Select one of the Drum Loops in the Scratch kits. Try to get a loop that complements the selected Pattern. Or, if you’re after special effects and off-the-wall beats, call up a loop that intentionally clashes with the Pattern!
44
Start the Pattern with the Crossfader all the way left, and turn the Scratch Pad right on the “one” to start the Drum Loop.
Then, work the Crossfader like you did in Tips 53 and 54. Try some other rhythmic flicks as well — like coming in with the loop on beats 3 and 4, for example.
Chapter 11
Using the BPM/TAP button
55
Tap out the beat!
Change the bpm in real time! Tap the BPM/TAP button twice rhythmically, while the Pattern is running — and the bpm automatically changes to the tapped speed.

You can also get the Pattern going at whatever speed you like by simply tapping it out. Select a Pattern, then instead of hitting one of the Pattern Player, tap the BPM/TAP button — four times, in rhythm — and the Pattern starts automatically at the bpm you’ve tapped.
While you’re tapping, the display shows each of your four taps, then displays the resulting bpm.

Here are a couple of tips that get you started interfacing the DJX-IIB with external gear.
Go for it, and get your sound out there!
57
Expanding your DJ setup
The DJX-IIB can easily do double-duty as part of a larger DJ setup. For example, you can connect the LINE OUT jacks to two of the inputs of a DJ mixer. Hook up a turntable to the other channels of the DJ mixer, and you’ve got a full dance production setup to rival the pros! This way you can play the DJX-IIB as well as your favorite vinyl tracks, and mix and switch them with the controls on the
DJ mixer.
Naturally, you can also hook your DJX-IIB up to an MD recorder or cassette deck and record your
DJ performances to disk or tape.

Mute the speakers
If you’re routing the DJX-IIB’s sound to a DJ mixer or external amplifier/speaker system, you may want to cut off the sound of the DJX-IIB’s built-in speakers. Easy! Simply insert a phone plug into the PHONES jack — or hook up a set of stereo headphones for monitoring the DJX-IIB sound.
Naturally, even when the built-in speakers are muted in this way, audio is still output through the LINE OUT jacks.

Sometimes it’s best to keep things simple! Here’s an effective but easy-to-use technique that’s ideal for intros and transitions.
Select P39 and play V A1 to V A3 like this:
One Two Three Four One
For this kind of trick, it’s best to have the bpm firmly in your memory before starting the Pattern.
For an even more interesting (or dangerous!) variation on this, try starting with bar 3 above (a tap each beat). Even if your tapping is slower than the correct bpm, it still makes for a hip intro!

Distortion
This little trick can kick your tracks into high gear! Use the Distortion effect selectively, applying it only to certain beats in the Pattern, places you want to add an accent — such as on the 2nd or 3rd beat of the bar. This gives you a massive, in-your-face sound — right on that all-important backbeat — and takes the rhythm to a new level!
In a variation on this technique, bring in the Distortion repeatedly and rhythmically. This punches new accents into the Pattern, and — with the right treatment — creates a completely new Pattern!
This technique works extremely well with some of the other effects, such as Ring Mod, Flanger, and
Phaser.

Ring Modulation
As we pointed out in Tip 10, this effect is a powerful one, so you’ll want to save it for huge, in-yourface intros, transitions and endings. Here’s how you can use Ring Modulation to build to an enormous climax:
First, set the controls — CONTROL to min and BALANCE to max. Then, hold the effect on (or lock it, as described in Tip 7), and simultaneously move the CONTROL knob toward max — very slowly.
Use the effect to build to a fever pitch, then — right at the climactic moment, just before the “one”
— turn the effect off and switch to a new Pattern or Variation.

Flanger
Tweak the knob until you hit the “sweet spot” — the point at which the Flanger’s modulation cycle syncs up to the bpm and gives you the rhythmic effect you want. (See the illustration in Tip 64 for details on how the knob settings relate to bpm.)
67

Slice
The different rhythm feels that Slice creates depends on the Pattern you’ve selected as well as the
CONTROL knob setting. Experimentation is the key! Try different Patterns and see how they morph when you change the CONTROL knob setting. Move the knob slowly, and find your favorite settings.

Delay
Clever use of Delay is a cornerstone in many different styles of dance music — especially dub. For a dub flavor, set the BALANCE knob to around 2 or 3 o'clock, and turn on the effect only for certain beats. Play around with this — experiment and try to hit the “sweet spot,” the point where the
Delay locks into the groove and gives you the feel you want!

Delay fill-in
Delay can be also used as a break or fill-in to take you into the next Pattern. This takes a little bit of practice and gives your rhythm chops a workout — but when you hit it right, it can really rock the house!
Set both the CONTROL and BALANCE knobs to 12 o’clock. Select P38, and play V A1. Turn on the effect right on the “four” and hit PATTERN STOP on the next “one.” Let the delay wind down, then come in with V A3. Experiment with this a bit, hitting the effect a fraction of a second earlier or stopping the Pattern later.

Echo
Many styles of dance music use echo effects in surprising, unique ways. The DJX-IIB’s Echo effect lets you use the popular 3/4 beat delay to build up dramatic rhythmic rolls and fills. It also gives you some fascinating echo textures to use in transitions and endings.
Here’s a cool trick you can use in your own music! Select P25 and start up V A1 with only the Per-
cussion. (Use the Part Mixer to bring the mix down to the minimum; see page 32.) Set CONTROL
to about 2 o’clock and BALANCE to roughly 12 o’clock (center). Turn on the effect, then stop the
Pattern and let the Percussion repeats fade out. Just before the Percussion disappears, start the
Pattern with all the Parts on! (Press LOOP to turn all Parts on.)
72
Lo-Fi
Though you may have personal preferences of your own, Lo-Fi is often best when set to the extreme settings — with CONTROL at max and BALANCE at wet.
To get an even more authentic AM radio sound, set the Isolator LOW and HIGH knobs to min. Work these controls in rhythm, and try to bring the sound back to normal right on the “one” downbeat — turning the effect off and bringing the LOW and HIGH knobs to center as quickly as you can!
73
Wah
Tweak the knob until you hit the “sweet spot” — the point at which the Wah’s modulation cycle syncs up to the bpm and gives you the rhythmic effect you want. (See the illustration in Tip 64 for details on how the knob settings relate to bpm.)

Isolator and Filter
Power Tips
74
Isolator to the max!
Play the Isolator in real time! Get the Pattern running, then tweak the knobs to their extreme settings for radical changes to the sound — on the fly!
For example, try cutting back Low and Mid to zero, and bring High up to the max — for a really brittle, tinny sound. Or try boosting Low to the max while taking Mid and High all the way down — for a boomy, bass-only sound. Or go for the sound of an AM radio by setting Mid to max and cutting
Low and High.
Since the effect of the Isolator controls depends in part on the selected Pattern, you’ll need to do some playing around. Stick to one Pattern and some of its variations, then experiment with the Isolator to find some hip settings.
For maximum dramatic effect, make these changes as quickly as you can, bringing the knobs up or down instantly, if possible. Also, rhythm rules — so, make your moves on the downbeat, right in time! Practice your moves and get them down so you can tweak the sound as you perform!

Dark mixes and deep grooves — cut the Cutoff!
Here’s a powerful trick to instantly darken up your tracks — if that’s what you’re after. It’s also great for getting a phat, bottom-heavy sound!
First, set the Cutoff and Resonance to zero. Notice how all the high end disappears from the sound, and all your left with is a pulsing bass! You can accentuate this effect even more by boosting the
Isolator Low knob to the maximum and setting Mid and High to the minimum.
From this starting point, try bringing up the Resonance. Then play with the Cutoff knob in time with the rhythm for some stunning fillter sweep effects. It’s a great way to fade in the other rhythm parts
— plus bring in some killer textures!
To bring things back to normal, turn the Cutoff and Resonance knobs to their center positions. Do it on the “one”!

Scratch Pad
Power Tips

Scratching triplets
The triplet feel is common to a lot of hip-hop music. Triplets are three notes played in the space of one beat (or other note value). It’s a tricky rhythm to master, so we’ll give it to you in steps! For these exercises, select P51 and start V A5.
Also, call up Scratch 07.
First, try this straight eighth-note rhythm. While the Pattern is playing, scratch up and down (forward and back) each beat. Tap your foot and count the rhythm out while scratching!
Tap with your foot:
Count:
Scratch
(up/down):
1 - and 2 - and 3 - and 4 - and
Now, try out eighth-note triplets. Instead of two notes for each beat, you’ll be scratching three notes. This is a bit difficult, since it may sound as if you’re fighting the rhythm! Try to keep the three scratches as even as possible. You may even want to try scratching and counting without the Pattern — just to get used to this tricky feel!
Tap with your foot:
Count:
Scratch
(up/down):
3 3 3 3
1 - 2 - 3 2 - 2 - 3 3 - 2 - 3 4 - 2 - 3
Let’s pick up the pace a bit with some sixteenth-note triplets. For this, you’ll probably want to slow down the bpm.
That’ll make it easier for you to master the feel! To start with, set the bpm to about 50, and practice the exercise below until you’ve got it. Then bump the speed up about 5 bpm to 55, and try again. Keep doing this, increasing the speed a little bit each time, until you’re comfortable scratching sixteenth notes at the normal bpm. Keep the scratches as even as possible — no matter what the bpm!

54
Remember, this is just an exercise... Playing all sixteenth notes throughout the rhythm is bound to be boring! Try mixing up your scratching — doing sixteenth notes for just one beat or less, and leaving spaces or putting in odd accents.
Keep in mind too that not all of the DJX-IIB Patterns lend themselves equally to triplet scratching. Some work well, some are a bit hard to scratch to, and a few may not work with triplets at all! Select some different Patterns and try it out for yourself, looking for what works and what doesn’t.
Chapter 16 Scratch Pad Power Tips
77
Scratch on an intro!
Improvise on the Scratch Pad for a bar or two, then start the Pattern. To pull this off properly, you’ll want to have the bpm firmly in your memory. Also, keep your scratching simple — doing that helps you feel the rhythm and helps you lock into the coming Pattern!
◆
Helpful hint:
Try taking the bpm from the display. If the Pattern display is currently up, simply press BPM/TAP to call up the bpm display. Then, tap your foot along with the flashing dot, and scratch as you tap!
78
Spin around and stop!
Spinning the Scratch Pad and stopping on a downbeat is another hip item in the DJ’s bag of tricks!

Let the Pattern play for one bar. On the “two” of bar 2, turn the effect on. Then, right on the “three” downbeat, slap the Crossfader all the way right to cut the Pattern. If you’ve hit both of these right, the Delay should continue the beat and start to fade out. Finally turn off the delay and flick the

Now for some mixing finesse! With the Crossfader set to the center, scratch along with the Pattern.
As you keep both the Pattern and the scratching happening, gradually — ever so slowly — move the Crossfader to the left, and your scratching will be faded out.
Start here...
...and slowly move to the left.
Naturally, you can work in the opposite direction, too — to fade in the scratch sound:
Start here...
...and slowly move to the right — until you get to the center.

Bored? Add some chords... and scratching!
While you’re scratching along with a repeating Pattern, sometimes it may feel as if the rhythm’s going nowhere. And no amount of intense scratch work can keep the Pattern from getting old. The best way to spice things up is with some key changes!
Try setting the Key Shifter to 2, and release the KEY SHIFTER button on the downbeat. Keep in mind you can’t scratch while holding KEY SHIFTER, so try to make your key changes as close to the
“one” as you can — then get scratching again!

84
Down and out!
In Tip 29, you learned how to recreate the sound of a turntable grinding to a halt — here’s a variation on that trick. This slows down the speed of the Pattern without changing the pitch.
While the Pattern is running, simultaneously hold down the BPM/TAP button and turn the Scratch
Pad counter-clockwise to slow down the bpm gradually. After the bpm gets as slow as you want, wait until the right downbeat, then press PATTERN STOP to stop the Pattern.

One-hand Effector control!
This technique may take a little practice and some digital dexterity — but once you’ve got it down and are able to play in the pocket, you’re on your way to being a true DJ wizard!
Grab the Control knob with your forefinger and thumb, and use your middle finger or ring finger to flick the effect switch on and off. This lets work the effect in rhythm — and still have your right hand free to change Patterns and work the Scratch Pad. Or use your right hand to further mangle the sound with the Isolator or Part Controller knobs!
As always, keep the rhythm steady — a master DJ is only as good as his time! However, this effectively starts the same Pattern with all its original settings, including resetting the Key Shifter to “0”
— and puts you back at home base!

Instant reset!
Once you’ve made a few changes to the Filter or Key Shifter settings, it’s not so easy to get back to where you started! Often, you’ll want to be able to backtrack and instantly reset the Pattern to its original sound and pitch. In such a case, the best and easiest way to return to home base is to reselect the Pattern.
Hold down PATTERN and simultaneously turn the Scratch Pad clockwise so the the Pattern number in the display advances one step (+1), and then turn it back again (-1) to return to the currently selected Pattern. Finally, release PATTERN to start the Pattern again — preferably on the “one” downbeat. Doing this fools the DJX-IIB into thinking you’ve selected a new Pattern! However, this effectively starts the same Pattern with all its original settings, including resetting the Key Shifter to
“0” — and puts you back at home base! p 36

Hit the Part on the “one”!
We said it before, we’ll say it again— make sure you keep it in the pocket! That means making all your hits right on the beat, so that the whole rhythm grooves.
When using the Scratch Pad as a Part Mixer, changing Parts on the downbeat is a little bit tricky.
When you add Parts to the mix, you should perform your Scratch Pad move a fraction of a second before the actual downbeat to make sure everything flows smoothly and stays in the pocket. Subtracting Parts from the mix (turning the pad counter-clockwise) is easier and more forgiving — basically do it whenever you want, or wherever feels good!
88
Check the bpm
Need to know what the bpm of a certain track on CD or vinyl is? Here’s a convenient tool! Just tap out the rhythm of the music as you listen to it, and the DJX-IIB displays the bpm for you — automatically! (Make sure to turn down the MASTER VOLUME to keep the DJX-IIB Pattern from sounding.)

89
Cut in with a scratch and hit the next Variation
Here’s some fancy finger work for you! This move will take some practice, but it’s a great way to break for a beat with a scratch fill-in and go onto another Variation.
On the “four” beat, flick the Crossfader all the way right and play a scratch fill-in. Then — on the next “one” — simultaneously swing the Crossfader to the left and hit a new Variation button.
90
Auto-adjusting the bpm
Got a favorite beat on CD or vinyl that you want to sync to the DJX-IIB? This powerful function lets you do just that!
The DJX-IIB “hears” the beat (from a connected external sound source) and automatically locks into the rhythm by auto-adjusting the bpm of the currently playing Pattern.
To use this, connect a CD player or turntable and mixer (as shown), and play the source music.
Then, press and hold the AUDIO BPM COUNTER button and adjust the SENSE dial until the lamp flashes. The optimum setting is when the lamp flashes only at each downbeat in the source music.
For best results, try narrowing in on the bpm roughly at first by tapping it out (Tip 55), then using the auto-adjust function.
Most dance music styles (such as techno or house) that have a prominent kick and bass sound only on the downbeat are ideal for this function. Keep in mind, however, that some kinds of source music may not work with this. If that’s the case, use the Tap function (Tip 55) to lock into the bpm.

Creative Fill-in 3
Here’s a cool technique for stopping the Pattern and coming back in with the rhythm. Select P42 and start with V A1. Then, hit PATTERN STOP and the Variation as shown.

Break here...
...and come back in
92
Crossfader cut-in — Scratch plus effect
This requires a bit of tricky finger work... But it’s an effective to add some atmospheric fill-ins to your tracks!
Here’s the basic idea: Alternate between the Pattern and your scratching (with the Crossfader), and apply the effect to only the scratch. The trick is to have your left hand do two things at once! Use your 4th or 5th finger to flick the Live Effector switch on and off, while your thumb swings the
Crossfader back and forth. Meanwhile, your right hand is busy doing the scratching! Try alternating bars — four beats of Pattern, then four beats of scratch.
93
Crossfader cut-in — Scratch plus
Delay
Try this variation on Tip 92 above. Delay works well as an effect for scratch fill-ins, since it locks into the bpm and gives you a clue to where the beat is — even when you can’t hear the Pattern!
Keep your scratching simple, and the Delay will guide you back to the “one.”
Once you feel comfortable with this technique, try scratching for two bars instead of one! Also, try the Echo effect for some off-the-wall scratch effects.
63
94
Outro -tro -tro -tro
Here’s another popular technique from the producer’s bag of tricks — ending with an echo!
Select the Delay or Echo effect. Then, on the very last beat (or last two beats) of the last bar of the
Pattern, switch and hold the effect on. Then press PATTERN STOP just before the “one” of the next bar to stop the Pattern. Don’t forget to keep holding the effect on! The Delay or Echo hits just the last notes of the rhythm and fades them out in a delayed repeat. Awesome!
64
95
Upside down, inside out!
Sometimes when you play certain Parts in a Pattern by themselves, it’s difficult to hear where the downbeat is. Especially in an intro. Your ears may fool you into hearing and expecting a completely different downbeat! Then, when the rest of the rhythm kicks in, it turns your feet (and whole body!) around. Like with this tricky intro!
Select P19. Then set the Part Mixer (Scratch 73) so that the minimum mix will play. (To do this, spin the Scratch Pad around counter-clockwise a couple of full turns.) Then start V A1. Let the
Bass play by itself for a few bars, and try to feel the downbeat. Don’t worry if you can’t — the other
Parts will cue you into it! Turn the pad 1/4 turn clockwise each time you want to bring in new Parts to the mix. Do it gradually! Let the rhythm simmer for a while each time you bring in a Part or
Parts. At some point — probably when the Kick comes in — the beat turns around, and you can finally “hear” the rhythm!
96
Taking the pulse
The DJX-IIB has a variety of bpm-related tools that help you get the proper bpm — such as tapping it out (Tip 55) or capturing the bpm from an external source (Tip 90 above). Sometimes you may find it difficult or impossible to get an accurate reading, however. In the end, the best tools are your ears!
Use the AUDIO BPM COUNTER or Tap function to zero in (as close as possible) on the bpm of an external source. Then, to fine tune the bpm reading, start the Pattern Player on the “one” downbeat of the source music. If the beats stay in sync for several bars, you’ve got the right bpm! If the beats drift apart, try adjusting the bpm manually, re-starting the Pattern on the “one” each time.
Eventually, you’ll hone in on the proper bpm!
Chapter 18 DJ Performance Master Class

Sync applications — using the
DJX-IIB as the master
The advanced sync features of the DJX-IIB let you lock it together with the rhythm and bpm of another device, such as a DJX-II, another DJX-IIB, or an external sequencer. No drift, no slipping out of sync — the two devices stay perfectly in the same groove! This is just one of the enormous advantages of digital-based music. Try syncing two turntables together, and you’ll see what we mean!
Although this is really just one feature, we’ve divided it into two separate tips: using the DJX-IIB as the master device, and using it as the slave (in Tip 98 below). If you’ve got a second device, try it both ways!
When the DJX-IIB is used as the master, you can play the Patterns of the DJX-IIB and have sequenced patterns and music on an external sequencer lock into the bpm of the DJX-IIB.
1 Set up the DJX-IIB and the external device.
Use a standard MIDI cable to connect the two devices as shown.
MIDI OUT
MIDI clock
MIDI IN
External sequencer
(RM1x, etc.)
2 Set the external device to “external sync.”
For specific instructions on changing the sync setting, refer to the owner’s manual of the external device.
3 Play the DJX-IIB.
When you start and stop the Patterns of the DJX-IIB, the songs or patterns on the external device start and stop at the same time. Likewise, changing the bpm on the DJX-IIB automatically changes the bpm of the external device. All playback operations function in perfect sync between the two machines, with the DJX-IIB as the master.

98
Sync applications — using the
DJX-IIB as the slave
Here we’ll do the opposite of Tip 97 above. This sophisticated application lets you play sequenced patterns and song data on an external sequencer and have the Patterns of the DJX-IIB lock into the bpm of that device.
1 Set up the DJX-IIB and the external device.
Use a standard MIDI cable to connect the two devices as shown.
MIDI IN
MIDI clock
MIDI OUT
External sequencer
(RM1x, etc.)
2 Set the DJX-IIB to “external sync.”
Simultaneously hold down BPM/TAP and turn the scratch pad clockwise, a couple of turns past the maximum of 280.0, until “Sync” appears in the display.
Indicates “external sync.”
SYnc
3 Play the DJX-IIB.
When you start and stop the song or pattern on the external device, the Patterns of the DJX-IIB start and stop at the same time. Likewise, changing the bpm on the external device automatically changes the bpm of the DJX-IIB. All playback operations function in perfect sync between the two machines, with the external device as the master and the DJX-IIB as the slave.

Get more Patterns!
One of the great things about the DJX-IIB is how open-ended the system is! You can get additional
Patterns from the DJX Internet Site (
www.yamahadjx.com
), and — with the Pattern
Launcher software (on the included CD-ROM; see Tip 31) — load that Pattern data right into your
DJX-IIB!
Once new Pattern data is loaded, select one of the Patterns U1 - U5 to play the desired Pattern. (U1
- U5 appear only when User Pattern data has been loaded to the DJX-IIB.) Up to five Patterns can be loaded at one time.

Troubleshooting
PROBLEM
The speakers produce a “pop” sound whenever the power is turned ON or OFF.
POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION
This is normal and is no cause for alarm.
When using a mobile phone, noise is produced.
Using a mobile phone in close proximity to the DJX-IIB may produce interference. To prevent this, turn off the mobile phone or use it further away from the DJX-IIB.
The volume is reduced or the sound is distorted.
The batteries probably need to be replaced. Either replace all six batteries, or use an AC power adaptor.
The sound quality has gotten progressively worse.
The display goes blank and all panel controls are reset.
There is no sound even when the scratch pad is turned or when a pattern is being played back.
Check that nothing is connected to the PHONES jack on the rear panel. When a set of headphones is plugged into this jack, no sound is output.
The panel buttons do not function.
The Pattern does not start even when the
PATTERN PLAYER button is pressed.
Check whether the MIDI bulk data is being transmitted/receiving or not. When the MIDI bulk data is being transmitted/receiving, all of the buttons other than the PATTERN STOP button do not function.
Check whether the BPM is set to “Sync” or not by pressing the
BPM/TAP button. When set to “Sync”, the external MIDI device can start the Pattern of the DJX-IIB and the DJX-IIB itself cannnot start the Pattern.
None of the Scratch Pad sounds or functions work.
Make sure that the DJX-IIB is not set to “external sync” (see
Tip 98). When “external sync” is on, the DJX-IIB Scratch Pad cannot be used.
The sound is distorted or noisy.
• Many of the DJX-IIB sounds have been deliberately processed or created with a “lo-rez” or “grunge” sound to suit certain styles of music.
• Using the CUTOFF and RESONANCE knobs at or near the maximum settings (especially when the MASTER VOLUME knob is also at maximum) may result in distortion.

DESCRIPTION
This appears when the MIDI reception buffer of the DJX-IIB has filled up, and processing is not possible. Try decreasing the amount of data or increasing the interval time and transmit the data once again.
This appears when a MIDI data reception error occurs, such as that caused by an improper connection or by use of an excessively long MIDI cable.
This appears when the received bulk data contains illegal Pattern data. The illegal data is automatically cleared.
This appears briefly when initializing the DJX-IIB to the factory preset data, by simultaneously holding down the LOOP button and turning the power on. See page 13 for details.

Glossary
A
Audio bpm Counter.................................Tips 90, 96
This powerful function lets you synchronize external audio
(such as from a CD, MD, or vinyl record) with the Patterns of the DJX-IIB. The DJX-IIB monitors the beat from the audio, and automatically locks into the rhythm by autoadjusting the bpm of the DJX-IIB’s Pattern.
B bpm.............................Tips 39, 40, 55, 56, 88, 90, 96
Abbreviation for “beats per minute.” Obviously, a rhythm playing at 120 bpm would have two beats every second. The bpm value determines the speed of the rhythm — the higher the bpm, the faster the rhythm. This is also called
“tempo.”
F
Filter .............................................Tips 19, 43, 44, 75
Filters were originally used to process sound on analog synthesizers. The DJX-IIB uses the same basic filter setup to process the sound. More than just “process,” the filter is capable of radically altering and completely changing the character of the sound! The filter is controlled by the CUT-
OFF and RESONANCE knobs in the Filter section.
K key ........................................................... Tips 38, 83
The word “key” refers to the basic pitch of a piece of music.
There are twelve keys: C, Db (or C#), D, Eb (or D#), E, F, F#
(or Gb), G, Ab (or G#), A, Bb (or A#), and B. On the DJX-
IIB, you can change the key by using the Key Shifter.
(Knowing the names of the keys isn’t important. On the
DJX-IIB, you change the number — the amount by which the key is shifted.)
Changing keys (also called “transposing”) adds variety to the music. It also is capable of changing the character of a piece, making the music brighter and more upbeat, or darker and more subdued.
L
Live Effector................................ Tips 7 - 17, 63 - 73
Effects are used to process the sound and change it in various ways. In modern recording studios, almost every recorded sound is processed in some way. On the DJX-IIB, the Live Effector section provides ten different, high-quality effects — the same effects used by the pros in creating hot tracks.
All of the DJX-IIB sounds — the Pattern and Scratch Pad
— are processed by these effects. A toggle switch lets you turn the effect on and off in time with the rhythm, and special CONTROL and BALANCE knobs let you tweak the effects as the Pattern plays.
I
Isolator ...............................................Tips 18, 74, 75
The Isolator section provides three separate controls —
Low, Mid, and High — for adjusting the tone or timbre of the sound. Like the Bass and Treble controls on a stereo amplifier, these let you tailor the sound just the way you like to hear it.
Loop................................................... Tips 25, 46, 54
A loop is a (usually) short audio passage or phrase that is repeated indefinitely, or “looped.” Originally used with tape recorders (tape loops), loops have infiltrated the world of sampling and music making in general. Sometimes loops are used to create sustained sound. More commonly (and especially on the DJX-IIB), loops are mainly for rhythmic phrases — drum and percussion rhythms, arpeggiator phrases, etc. The DJX-IIB Patterns are made up entirely of loops.
The Scratch Pad also has a special LOOP button that lets you loop certain rhythm phrases, and have them stay in sync with the Patterns.

MIDI....................................................... Tips 97 - 100
MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) allows electronic instruments of various types and manufacturers to
“communicate” with each other. At the most basic level,
MIDI allows you to play one instrument’s sounds from the controls or keyboard of another instrument. More sophisticated uses included synchronizing two or more instruments together, exchanging data between compatible devices, or having a whole studio’s worth of keyboards, synthesizers, samplers, and rhythm machines controlled from a single computer.
Naturally, the DJX-IIB is MIDI compatible, and can be used effectively in any of the above scenarios. You can sync two
DJX-IIBs together (or the DJX-II), and have the bpm’s of both machines lock for synchronized playback. With the special Pattern Launcher software and a computer, you can even load new and original Patterns to the DJX-IIB!
Different Patterns have different lengths, but all are based on four-beat lengths called “measures.” In other words, a
Pattern may be eight beats long (two measures) or sixteen beats long ( four measures), but all Patterns cycle around a basic count of “1-2-3-4.” The key to developing good rhythm and using the Patterns musically involves knowing this four-beat count and feeling it in your body!
S scratch, scratching ...... Tip 20 - 31, 44 - 47, 52 - 54,
76 - 80, 82, 83, 89, 92, 93
This comes from turntable playing, in which the DJ rocks the record back and forth with the needle down, creating a scratching-like noise. On the DJX-IIB, scratching is done with the Scratch Pad.
P
Part ....................................... Tips 32 - 34, 79, 80, 87
The DJX-IIB Patterns contain up to eight separate instrument Parts — each of which has its own special function and sound within the rhythm. Specifically the Parts are:
Kick, Snare, Hi-Hat, Percussion, Bass, and Phrases 1 -3.
Depending on the Pattern, each Part may have a completely different sound. For example, the Bass Part on one Pattern might be an soft acoustic upright bass, while on another
Pattern it may be a buzzy synthesizer bass.
By using the powerful Part Mixer function with the Scratch
Pad (see Tips 32 - 34), you can change the arrangement of the Parts on the fly, as the Pattern is playing!
T
Tap ............................................... Tips 55, 56, 88, 96
The DJX-IIB has a convenient Tap function that allows you to change or set the bpm of the instrument simply by tapping out a steady rhythm on the BPM/TAP button. This can be used to automatically start a Pattern at the tapped speed, or it can be used to instantly change the bpm of a currently playing Pattern.
V
Variation ........................................ Tips 3, 48, 49, 89
Each of the 70 Patterns of the DJX-IIB actually contains ten separate Patterns, called “Variations.” Each Variation, as its name implies, is a different version of the basic Pattern rhythm. There are two types of Variations, main and fill-in.
Main Variations are used for the constant rhythm of the music, while fill-in Variations are usually used as dynamic breaks and transitions. In general, the higher the Variation number, the busier or more complex the rhythm becomes.
Pattern ................ Tips 1 - 6, 48 - 51, 59 - 62, 99, 100
Patterns are the basic building blocks of the DJX-IIB sound.
Each Pattern is a discrete musical/rhythmic passage, that loops (or repeats) continuously. The Patterns contain different instrumental Parts — such as bass, kick drum, snare drum, hi-hat, percussion, and (depending on the Pattern) other pitched instruments such as guitar, organ, strings, etc.
Each main Pattern has ten Variations, which can be used together for greater variety in performance.
