Scratch Pad Clinic

The true mettle of a DJ is in his or her turntable work. That’s why the DJX-IIB has a
special Scratch Pad that lets you strut your stuff!

Work out on the Scratch Pad!

Step up to the turntable and work the platter like a real DJ! That’s what the Scratch Pad’s for!

Set the Crossfader to around the center, then rock the Scratch Pad back and forth. Now you’re
scratching!

Start a Pattern and work the Scratch Pad while the Pattern’s playing back — adding your own
rhythmic parts and accents to the mix!

No need for vinyl here — leave your records at home! The DJX-IIB has a whopping total of 73 spe-
cial Scratch “kits” that you can call up instantly and scratch right along with the Patterns!

To change the Scratch kit, hold down the SCRATCH button and simultaneously turn the Scratch
Pad. Check the Scratch display to see what you’re selecting.

Rock the Scratch Pad
back and forth with
your finger.

Set the Crossfader to around the center.
