MIDI BULK SEND button ..........................71
The DJX-II allows you to send your original Perfor-
mance Recorder and Sampler data to an external
MIDI device as bulk data for storage and future recall.
Pressing this button transmits the current bulk data.

AUDIO BPM COUNTER button ................67
The DJX-II has a powerful and convenient function
that lets you synchronize external audio (such as from
a CD or MD) with the Patterns of the DJX-II. Hold
down this button and adjust the input level while
playing the connected audio device. The DJX-II mon-
itors the beat from the audio, and automatically locks
into the rhythm by auto-adjusting the bpm of the
DJX-II’s Pattern. The extracted bpm value is indi-
cated in the display.

PATTERN STOP button.............................14
This button stops playback of the Patterns and Activa-
tor loops. Start the DJX-II’s Patterns by pressing one
of the PATTERN PLAYER keys and stop them by
pressing the PATTERN STOP button.

SAMPLER button ......................................53
The DJX-II has a powerful Sampling function that lets
you record your own voice (via a microphone) or the
sound from a CD or MD player, and play the sound
(from the SAMPLE PADS or the keyboard).
Use the SAMPLING/STOP button to record (sample)
the desired sound, then trigger the new sample by
pressing one of SAMPLE PADS 1 - 6 or by playing the
keyboard.
!4
INPUT LEVEL knob .................................. 53
Use this to adjust the input level of the external audio
source. This affects the microphone or line level when
using the Sampling feature; it also affects the level of
the audio when using the Audio bpm Counter func-
tion (page 67).

PART CONTROLLER knobs .............. 34, 51
These are used to adjust the volume, filter cutoff, and
filter resonance for individual parts of the Patterns.

RIBBON CONTROLLER ........................... 38
This expressive tool lets you control and change the
sound of the DJX-II by simply moving your finger
along the surface. Use the SELECT button to select
the effect you wish to control, then rub your finger
back and forth along the ribbon to change the sound.
!7
ISOLATOR knobs...................................... 26
Use these knobs to change the timbre or tone of the
sound, adjusting the level of each frequency range:
Low, Mid, and High. Turning each knob to the right
boosts the level at that frequency, while turning it to
the left cuts it.

PERFORMANCE RECORDER buttons ... 56
The DJX-II allows you to record your original perfor-
mances as digital data, giving you even greater live
performance power. Up to six separate performances
can be recorded, using the RECORD and 1 - 6 but-
tons. To play back your recorded performance, simply
press the appropriate button: 1 - 6.

Keyboard ................................................... 27
The extraordinarily versatile keyboard of the DJX-II
has various different functions. Naturally, it can be
used as a conventional keyboard, for playing melodies
and chords. However, for the powerful DJ functions,
the keyboard is a large bank of convenient buttons
that can be used to trigger and control the various Pat-
terns and sounds of the instrument.
