PATTERNS — THE STYLE MODE

The DJX also has a special Beat Reverse key that lets you break up the pattern with stuttering
rhythmic effects and unusual syncopations. Pressing the key automatically resets the pattern to the
top of the measure (first beat).

Select a style and start the pattern.

Do this in the normal way. (Need a refresher course? See page 44.)

Turn Part Control on (if it isn’t on already).

Press the PART CONTROL button.

Press the Beat Reverse key (C1).

Press the lowest key on the keyboard (C1) each time you want the pattern
to start again from the top. Press it repeatedly for stuttering effects and
rhythmic hits.

Indicates that Part
Control is on.

This exciting feature effectively puts you in the producer’s chair — it lets you instantly and intuitively
mute and un-mute individual Parts of the pattern, simply by pressing keys in the PART ON/OFF
section of the keyboard.
