PATTERNS — THE STYLE MODE

Using the key of C as an example, the chart below shows the types of

chords that can be recognized. When Part Control is turned on, the range

of the PATTERN section may be too narrow for proper recognition of all of

the following chords in all twelve keys. For best results when playing full

chords in the PATTERN section, turn Part Control off. (See page 59.)

* Notes enclosed in parentheses are optional; the chords will be recognized without them.

When Pattern Control is set to on (page 45), the DJX automatically creates

the backing tracks — drums, percussion, bass, chords, hits, and other

phrases — and changes the chords of the backing right along with you. All

you have to do is play single notes or chords in the PATTERN section of the

keyboard — and the DJX follows you!

Naturally, you can play full chords (like those shown in the chart below),

and the pattern will change harmonically in response. When you play

single notes, the DJX automatically produces chords that are based on the

root note you play and are best suited to the selected style.

Recognized Chords (root note: C)

• Playing full chords may
not change the pattern
chord as intended. For
example, playing major
seventh chords will not
change the chords of a
pattern that has minor and
dominant seventh phrases
and lines.
• Chords played in the
PATTERN section of the
keyboard are also detected
and played when the
pattern is stopped. In
effect, this gives you a “split
keyboard,” with bass and
chords in the left hand and
the normally selected voice
in the right.

For example, all single note chords in the Techno style (#001) are minor, all

chords for Trip Hop (#002) are minor 7th 11th, etc. This lets you quickly

and easily play the most musically useful and stylistically appropriate chord

changes — just by pressing a single key!
