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,

3 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 Main Patterns 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. (Fill- in 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 — re

5 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 fee

Chapter 1 Pattern Player Basics 6 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
