18 5 Come do wn 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 [...]

Chapter 1 Pattern Player Basics 19 6 K eep 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 setti[...]

T urn the CONTROL knob to the right for more crunch and bite. 9 Auto P an Get your sound moving in space! This effect shifts the sound in the stereo image back and forth between hard left and hard righ[...]

22 12 Phaser The Phaser effect is similar to Flanger (in T ip 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! Us[...]

Chapter 2 Live Effector Basics 23 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[...]

Quarter notes are the simplest to [...]

28 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. 23 Sixteenth-note s[...]

Chapter 5 Scratch Pad Clinic 29 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[...]

30 26 Scratch P ad 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. T ry this out! Select P29 and start V A3. Call up Scratch 49. Now the Scratch Pad plays arpeggi- ated phrases in time with the rhythm. Mix the arpeggios in with th[...]

Chapter 7 Crossfader Basics 35 37 Crossfader cuts This is one of the most basic moves in the DJ’ s collection of Crossfader techniques — cutting in with a scratch.

One specific trick you can try is to fade out a Pattern down to silence, then quickly bring MASTER VOLUME up to normal and burst in with a new Pattern! 42 T ravel light! Small and light, the DJX-IIB is made for the roa[...]

Chapter 8 Intermediate T echniques 39 43 T weak 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.

First, simultaneously hold down P A TTERN and turn the Scratch Pad to [...]

42 50 Break to a new P attern! 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!

Chapter 9 Pattern Player Power Tips 43 51 One-bar P atterns — all in a ro w! 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 progress[...]

Here’ s how you can use Ring Modulation to build to an enor - mous climax: First, set the controls — CONTROL to min and BALANCE to max. Then, [...]

50 69 Dela y Clever use of Delay is a cornerstone in many different styles of dance music — especially dub.
