99 Get more Patterns!
One of the great things about the DJX-IIB is how open-ended the system is! You can get additional
Patterns from the DJX Internet Site (www.yamahadjx.com), and — with the Pattern
Launcher software (on the included CD-ROM; see Tip 31) — load that Pattern data right into your
DJX-IIB!
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-IIB.) Up to five Patterns can
be loaded at one time.

personal computer to the MIDI IN terminal of the DJX-IIB.
● When using a MIDI interface with a Macintosh series computer, connect the RS-422 termi-
nal of the computer (modem or printer terminal) to the appropriate MIDI interface, then
connect the MIDI OUT terminal on the MIDI interface to the MIDI IN terminal of the DJX-
IIB, as shown in the diagram below.
