1 Work out with the Patterns!
Here’s where it all starts!
Hit one of the buttons in the PATTERN PLAYER section — and the Pattern starts immediately.
Hitting another button instantly switches to a different Pattern (actually, a variation on the main
Pattern).
Since the DJX-IIB 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.

Start your DJ apprenticeship right here! The Patterns are the basic building blocks of the
