  • Page 10: Functions Of The Keyboard

    In a conventional keyboard instrument, the keys are used to play scales, melodies and chords. The DJX-II, however, is hardly a conventional instrument. For the dynamic DJ functions, it is better to think of the keyboard as a large bank of convenient buttons that are used to trigger and control the various Patterns and sounds of the instrument.

  • Page 11: Rear Panel & Connections

    The LINE OUT jacks are used to send the DJX-II output to a DJ mixer, stereo sound system, mixing console, or tape recorder. The DJX-II also features MIDI terminals, allowing you to interface the DJX-II with other MIDI instruments and devices.

  • Page 12: Setting Up (Power Supply Connections)

    Setting Up (Power supply connections) Although the DJX-II will run either from an optional AC adaptor or batteries, Yamaha rec- ommends use of the more environmentally safe AC adaptor. Follow the instructions below according to the power source you intend to use.

  • Page 13: Switching On The Power

    • Even when the switch is in the “STANDBY” position, electricity is still flowing to the instru- ment at the minimum level. When you are not using the DJX-II for a long time, make sure you unplug the AC power adaptor from the wall AC outlet, and/or remove the batteries from the instrument.

  • Page 14: Tips To Be A Dj

    Hitting another key instantly switches to a different Pattern (actually, a Variation on the main Pattern). Since the DJX-II starts the Pattern right away, be careful to press the key in time with the rhythm. Practice this a while — there’s no better way to get your timing tight and develop a solid sense of rhythm! To stop the Pattern, press PATTERN STOP.

  • Page 15: Mixing Main And Fill-In Patterns

    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-II makes this easy to do! Check this out: While the Pattern is playing, the dot in the bpm display flashes rhythmically.

  • Page 16: Exploring Other Patterns

    Exploring other Patterns Try out some different Patterns now — the DJX-II has a ton of them! To change the Pattern, first press PATTERN/ENTER then turn the dial. Check the display to see what you’re selecting. The two numbers on the left indicate the current Pattern number, and the numbers on the right indicate the new one.

  • Page 17: Go Back, Go Forward

    Actually, the DJX-II takes care of this for you — automatically! If you change Patterns while a Pat- tern 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.

  • Page 18: Activator Basics

    Pattern is playing back. Improvise while the Pattern is playing, hitting different keys to create your own sound. The DJX-II has a total of 52 different Activator kits — each kit with five Loops and eight One Shots. Go on to the next Tip and learn some more about these! Loops and One Shots The DJX-II has two kinds of Activator sounds: Loop and One Shot.

  • Page 19: Explore The Activator Kits

    Explore the Activator kits! As we pointed out above, the DJX-II is loaded with a variety of different Activator kits. Select a few of them now, and try out their sounds. Press ACTIVATOR (the display shows “A 00”) and turn the dial to change the Activator number.

  • Page 20: Put 'Em Together

    One Shots on top of the main beat. Activator intro textures Part of the key to a great dance track is how it starts. The DJX-II gives you the power to craft your own intros, and get people moving right from the get-go! Try this intro on for size! Here we’ll have a drum fill lead into the main Pattern.

  • Page 21: Activator Loop Bpm

    DJX-II automatically matches up the bpm of the Activator Loops to the bpm of the Pattern. However, the DJX-II can’t sync up your loops if you don’t play them on time! Be careful to hit the Loops right on the beat — just as you did with the Patterns.

  • Page 22: Live Effector Basics

    The Live Effector gives you a wide variety of real-time effects that let you mangle and munge the sound in wild and exciting ways. All of the sounds of the DJX-II — the Pattern, Activator, and Sam- pler (→ page 53) — are processed by these versatile sound shapers. You can turn the effects on and off in time with the rhythm, and adjust a pre-programmed key effect parameter and the balance (depth) of the effect in realtime as the Pattern plays.

  • Page 23: Distortion

    Chapter 3 Live Effector Basics Distortion This popular effect lets you distort the sound — from a soft grunge to a full-on metallic assault. Turn the CONTROL knob to the right for more crunch and bite. Auto Pan Get your sound moving in space! This effect shifts the sound in the stereo image back and forth between hard left and hard right.

  • Page 24: Phaser

    Echo effect; see Tip 21 below.) And check this out — no rocket science needed! The DJX-II automatically syncs the delay time to the current bpm, so you don't even need to re-adjust the knob, even when the bpm is changed. Use the CON- TROL knob to change the relative delay time to match the rhythmic effect you want.

  • Page 25: Echo

    Like Delay (in Tip 20 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-II automatically syncs this effect to the bpm of the Pattern.

  • Page 26: Isolator Basics

    Chapter 4 Isolator Basics More sonic control to you! The Isolator lets you tailor the sound just the way you want it — phat and round, thin and edgy, or big and banging! Tweak the sound just right! Need a beefier low end? Want to put some edge and shimmer in the top? Tweak these knobs to your heart’s content, and get the sound just the way you want it! Try turning the Low and High knobs of the Isolator a little bit to the right, and make the sound more punchy.

  • Page 27: The Keyboard

    Play the keyboard You may not have realized it, but the DJX-II also has a regular, conventional keyboard in addition to its DJ Pattern-based one. Simply press VOICE/KEYBOARD to call up the Keyboard Mode, and play the keyboard normally. To switch back to the DJ functions —...

  • Page 28: Try Some Different Voices

    Chapter 5 The Keyboard Try some different voices! The DJX-II is chock full of a stunning variety of dynamic voices. Try some of them out right now! To get at these voices and play them, press VOICE/KEYBOARD (the display shows “Vxxx”), then turn the dial.

  • Page 29: Part Mixer Basics

    What is a Part? The DJX-II Patterns are made up of eight different instrument Parts: Kick, Snare, Hi-Hat, Percus- sion, Bass, and Phrases 1 - 3. Each Part has its own unique function and sound within the rhythm.

  • Page 30: Combination Keys

    Combination keys Sometimes you’ll want to mute or sound a group of Parts at the same time. Rather than having to grab several keys simultaneously, you can use the special combination keys, and turn several parts on or off together — instantly! The combination keys are: BASS+KICK, PHRASE1+2+3, and KICK+HI- HAT.

  • Page 31: Extra Texture

    Chapter 6 Part Mixer Basics Extra texture! Work on your instrument textures. All the mixmasters and mixologists do it! Why? Because it works like a charm! Try turning all the Parts off — except the BASS Part — then select P05 and start V1. p 05 Let the Bass carry on for a while.

  • Page 32: Part Selector

    Chapter 7 Part Selector Now that you’ve learned about the Parts and had a chance to fool around with them, let’s see what other magic you can work with them... Grab a Part and tweak it! If you thought tweaking the effects (Tips 13 - 23 above) was a blast, wait till you start working on the Parts.

  • Page 33: Tweak The Activator Sound

    Chapter 7 Part Selector Tweak the Activator sound! Guess what? The Activator is fair game for the Part Controller, too! Press the ACTIVATOR key in the Part Selector section, and you’ve just called up all of the Activator sounds for tweaking. In other words, the Part Controller affects ALL keys in the Activator at the same time.

  • Page 34: Part Controller

    Chapter 8 Part Controller In the last chapter you did some tweaking of the Parts. Now it’s time to dig in a little deeper and explore the Part Controller section. These little knobs can really open up your sound! Cutoff and Resonance The CUTOFF and RESONANCE knobs control the filter effects.

  • Page 35: Adjust The Part Volume

    Chapter 8 Part Controller Adjust the Part volume Yes, the VOLUME knob is a simple control for the volume of the Part — but the simplicity is deceiv- ing. By letting you adjust the volume for each Part, you can perform various arranging tricks on the fly, like fading specific parts in and out of the overall mix —...

  • Page 36: Key Shifter

    Key Shifter. Transpose the key The Key Shifter section of the DJX-II lets you take the pitch (or “key”) of the overall sound, and transpose it up or down — instantly! Believe it or not, changing the key of the overall sound makes subtle but fundamental changes to the character of the sound as well.

  • Page 37: Create Your Own Chord Progressions

    Three Four Since many of the DJX-II Patterns have their own pre-programmed chord progressions, shifting the key in the middle of a Pattern may result in unexpected or unusual twists. Experiment! Try dif- ferent Patterns. Try using only two keys, alternating between them every other bar. Try changing key only once every four bars, especially for Patterns that change chords several times over their four-bar cycle.

  • Page 38: Ribbon Controller

    You’ve heard the effect — where the whole track drops in pitch and slows down to a grinding halt! Guess what — you can do the same thing on the DJX-II, and have fingertip control over it, too! Select Pitch&BPM (press the SELECT button), and the Ribbon Controller switches to control both pitch and bpm simultaneously.

  • Page 39: Bpm/Tap Basics

    N Be careful! If the Pattern is stopped and you turn the dial past 280.0, “Sync” appears in the dis- play and the DJX-II goes into the Sync Mode (see page 69). To get out of this mode, simply turn the dial to the left, until bpm values appear in the display again.

First, press PATTERN/ENTER and turn the dial to call up the new Pattern number.

  • Page 46: Echo

    Echo Many styles of dance music use echo effects in surprising, unique ways. The DJX-II’s Echo effect lets you use the popular 3/4 beat delay to build up dramatic rhythmic rolls and fills. It also gives you some fascinating echo textures to use in transitions and endings.

    Chapter 13 Live Effector Power Tips One-hand Effector control! This technique may take a little practice and some digital dexterity — but once you’ve got it down and are able to play in the pocket, you’re on your way to being a true DJ wizard! Grab the Control knob with your forefinger and thumb, and use your middle finger or ring finger to flick the effect switch on and off.

  • Page 48: Isolator To The Max

    Isolator to the max! Play the Isolator in real time! Get the Pattern running, then tweak the knobs to their extreme set- tings for radical changes to the sound — on the fly! For example, try cutting back Low and Mid to zero, and bring High up to the max — for a really brit- tle, tinny sound.

  • Page 49: Part Mixer Power Tips

    Chapter 14 Part Mixer Power Tips Toggle the Part Mix Here’s a quick and really powerful way to break up the beat! The Toggle key lets you switch between two opposite arrangements of the rhythm. For example, if the Bass is off and all the rest of the Parts are on, pressing the Toggle key instantly switches the Pattern so that only the Bass is on, and all the rest of the Parts are off.

  • Page 50: Solo A Single Part - Instantly

    Solo a single Part — instantly! Here’s another useful mixing and arranging trick! Use this after a climactic part, and bring the whole sound down to one certain instrument — like the Bass, or one of the Phrases. Here’s how: When all the Parts are on, press one of the Part keys and the Toggle key simulta- neously.

  • Page 54: Erase The Sample

    Loops and One Shots The DJX-II has two different kinds of Sample Pads — One Shot and Loop — that let you play back the samples two different ways. If you record a sample to a One Shot Pad, that sample plays back once and then stops — hence the name, “One Shot.”...

  • Page 64: Upside Down, Inside Out

    Upside down, inside out! Sometimes when you play certain Parts in a Pattern by themselves, it’s difficult to hear where the downbeat is. Especially in an intro. Your ears may fool you into hearing and expecting a com- pletely different downbeat! Then, when the rest of the rhythm kicks in, it turns your feet (and whole body!) around.

    Eventually, you’ll hone in on the proper bpm! Auto-adjusting the bpm Got a favorite beat on CD or vinyl that you want to sync to the DJX-II? This powerful function lets you do just that! The DJX-II “hears” the beat (from a connected external sound source) and automatically locks into the rhythm by auto-adjusting the bpm of the currently playing Pattern.

  • Page 68: Toggling On Beat, Muting In Rhythm

    (in Tip 97 below). If you’ve got a second device, try it both ways! When the DJX-II is used as the master, you can play the Patterns of the DJX-II and have sequenced Patterns and music on an external sequencer lock into the bpm of the DJX-II.

  • Page 69: Sync Applications - Using The Djx-Ii As The Slave

    DJX-II as the slave Here we’ll do the opposite of Tip 96 above. This sophisticated application lets you play sequenced Patterns and song data on an external sequencer and have the Patterns of the DJX-II lock into the bpm of that device.

  • Page 70: Get More Patterns

    Once new Pattern data is loaded, select one of the Patterns U1 - U5 to play the desired Pattern. (U1 - U5 appear only when User Pattern data has been loaded to the DJX-II.) Up to five Patterns can be loaded at one time.

  • Page 71: Using Midi Bulk Send

    Make the proper connections and insert the appropriate (floppy) disk containing the data to the data filer. (Refer to the relevant owner’s manual for details, if necessary.) On the DJX-II side, make sure that the DJX-II is not in the middle of an operation, such as Per- formance Recording, Sampling, MIDI Bulk Send, etc.

  • Page 72: Tip 100 Create Your Own Patterns

    Simply use a conventional MIDI sequencer software (such as XG Works) to record your original Patterns as MIDI data — then import the data to the DJX-II using the special Pattern Launcher soft- ware. Data for up to five Patterns (maximum of 85 KB) can be loaded to the DJX-II.
