Sync up your samples to the Pat-
tern!
By now, you’ve probably got a few really hot samples recorded to the DJX-II. And maybe you’re
itching to use them with the Patterns. Well, here’s how you can do just that — and keep everything
in sync!
While playing one of your Sample Loops, listen carefully for the beat and tap it out on the BPM/TAP
button.
The Pattern starts automatically at the same bpm as the Sample Loop. If the Loop and Pattern drift
out of sync, adjust the bpm accordingly and re-start the Pattern at the “one” downbeat of the Loop.
Alternately, you may want to re-start the Loop every four bars (or whatever is necessary) by dou-
ble-clicking the Loop Pad. Make sure to do it on the “one”!
