Step 2 Using the Keyboard
The keyboard of the DJX is far different (and more powerful!) than any you’ve ever seen.
Let’s take a look...
Each time you turn on the DJX, the keyboard is “split” into the following functions:
What do these keys do?
Part Select
These keys let you select
specific Parts for control
with the knobs and the
RIBBON CONTROLLER.
(See page 60.)
Part On/Off
These keys let you mute/un-
mute specific Parts of a
pattern before or during
playback. (See page 52.)
Pattern
These keys let you instantly
change the chords of the
pattern. (See page 50.)
Performance
These keys are for normal
playing of the selected
voice (or voices).
A special DJX Demo voice (#000) is automatically selected each time you turn on the power. This
voice has a huge variety of sounds, with each key playing a different sound — percussion, drum
loops, scratch, special FX, human voice and many others!
To hear the DJX Demo voice properly across the entire keyboard, make sure that Part Control,
Pattern Control and Sync-Start are off. (See page 13.)
z Enter the Voice mode.
x Select voice #000.
c Play different keys and listen to the variety of sounds.
