PANEL DISPLAY INDICATIONS The DJX features a large multi-function display that shows all important settings for the instrument. The section below briefly explains the various icons and indications in the display.
PANEL DISPLAY INDICATIONS 5 Beat indicators 8 Icon window These dark bars (one large, three small) flash in sequence and in time with the song or style. The large bar indicates the first beat of the measure. (See page 42.) Depending on the mode or function selected, this displays various symbols (icons) and other messages to provide convenient, at-a-glance information about the DJX operation. For example, when a song or pattern is playing, this displays the level of each instrumental track.
PLAYING VOICES — THE VOICE MODE The Voice mode features 270 authentic voices (including 128 General MIDI voices), plus 15 special drum kits — all of which have been created with Yamaha’s sophisticated AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) tone generation system. The Voice mode gives you many powerful and versatile tools for playing and enhancing these Voices. The voices are divided into various instrument categories, all of which are printed on the panel for convenience.
PLAYING VOICES — THE VOICE MODE PLAYING PLAYING A A VOICE VOICE — — MAIN MAIN VOICE VOICE 1 Select the Voice mode. Press the VOICE button. Indicates Voice mode is selected VOICE STYLE 2 000DDDJX Select the desired voice number. Use the numeric keypad. The basic categories of voices and their numbers are shown at the right side of the panel. A complete list of the available voices is given on page 104.
PLAYING VOICES — THE VOICE MODE Using the VOICE button Press the VOICE button to select the next voice number. (This functions exactly the same as the + button.) 3 Each voice is automatically called up with the most suitable octave range setting. Thus, playing middle C with one voice may sound higher or lower than another voice at the same key. When you select a voice, the DJX also automatically calls up various settings that are appropriate for the voice.
PLAYING VOICES — THE VOICE MODE Function Parameters — Main Voice The Function parameters provide additional settings for the Main voice. These settings are especially useful when using a second voice in the Dual or Split modes, since they let you change or enhance the sound of the Main voice separate from the Dual or Split voice. These settings include: • Reverb Send Level • Chorus Send Level • DSP Effect Send Level • Volume • Octave • Pan These settings are not saved when you turn off the power.
PLAYING VOICES — THE VOICE MODE TRANSPOSE TRANSPOSE AND AND TUNING TUNING You can also adjust the tuning and change the transposition (key) of the entire DJX sound with the Transpose and Tuning functions. Transpose The Transpose and Tuning settings have no effect on the Drum Kit voices (#141 #155). Transpose determines the key of both the main voice and the pattern of the selected style. It also determines the pitch of the songs.
PLAYING VOICES — THE VOICE MODE Tuning Tuning determines the fine pitch setting of both the main voice and the pattern of the selected style. It also determines the pitch of the songs. This allows you to accurately match the tuning with that of other instruments. The Tuning settings can be adjusted over a range of ± 100 (approx. ± 1 semitone). 1 Select the Tuning function in the Overall menu. Press one of the OVERALL ▲/▼ buttons, repeatedly if necessary, until “Tuning” appears in the display.
PLAYING VOICES — THE VOICE MODE 2 Select the desired Dual voice and make other settings for the voice (if desired) in the Function mode. Selecting and changing the Function parameters: Press the FUNCTION button, then use the numeric keypad to select the parameter number. After “FUNCTION” stops flashing, use the numeric keypad or +/- buttons to change the setting. (For details, see page 18.) 3 • For the Dual voice to be heard properly, make sure to: * Select a different voice (#17, Dual Voice).
PLAYING VOICES — THE VOICE MODE PLAYING PLAYING TWO TWO VOICES VOICES — — SPLIT SPLIT VOICE VOICE In the Split Voice mode, you can assign two different Voices to opposite parts of the PERFORMANCE section of the keyboard, and play one Voice with your left hand while your right plays another. For example, you could play bass with the left hand and play piano with the right.
PLAYING VOICES — THE VOICE MODE Function Parameters — Split Voice The Function parameters provide all settings for the Split voice. Like the similar settings in the Main Voice mode, these settings let you change or enhance the sound of the Split voice separate from the Main voice. These settings include: • Volume • Octave • Pan • Reverb Send Level • Chorus Send Level • DSP Effect Send Level • Split Voice • Split On/Off • Split Point Function Parameters No.
PLAYING VOICES — THE VOICE MODE ADDITIONAL ADDITIONAL VOICE VOICE FUNCTIONS FUNCTIONS — — VOICE VOICE SET, SET, TOUCH TOUCH SENSITIVITY, AND PITCH BEND RANGE SENSITIVITY, AND PITCH BEND RANGE Voice Set, Touch Sensitivity, and Pitch Bend Range are three important voice-related parameters, and are found in the Function parameters. When Voice Set (described in greater detail below) is set to on, you can automatically call up a variety of voice-related settings that best suit the selected voice.
EFFECTS The DJX is equipped with a wide variety of effects that can be used to enhance the sound of the voices. Four general categories of effects are provided — Reverb, Chorus, DSP, and Arpeggiator — and each category has many effect types to choose from. Application of the effects is also exceptionally flexible. All four effects can be used simultaneously, and the degree of the Reverb, Chorus, and DSP effects can be adjusted independently for each of the voices: Main, Dual, and Split.
EFFECTS 3 Set the Reverb Send Level for the desired voice(s). The Main, Dual, and Split voices can each be set to have different amounts of Reverb. Use the corresponding Reverb Send Level parameters in the Function mode (Main: #04, Dual: #14, Split: #24) to control this. (See pages 27, 30, 32.) 4 If the Reverb Send Level is set to a value near or at “000,” the Reverb effect may not be heard. Exit the Function mode.
EFFECTS DSP DSP The DSP effect section provides many reverb and chorus effects, plus a wealth of other useful and dynamic effects for enhancing and changing the sound of the voices. Included among these miscellaneous effects are reverse gate reverb, phaser, rotary speaker, tremolo, echo, delay, distortion, equalization, and wah. A total of thirty-three DSP types are available. 1 Turn on the DSP effect (#35) and set the DSP Type (#36) in the Function mode.
EFFECTS ARPEGGIATOR ARPEGGIATOR The Arpeggiator effect lets you automatically create a variety of patterns and arpeggios in the Main voice, simply by holding one or more keys in the PERFORMANCE section of the keyboard. A total of sixteen different Arpeggiator types are available. The speed of the Arpeggiator depends on the BPM setting (page 41).
EFFECTS Function Parameters No. Parameter Name Display Name Range/Settings Description F31 Reverb On/Off Reverb on, off This turns the Reverb effect on/off.

SONG PLAYBACK — THE SONG MODE The Song mode features six songs — three demo songs that have been created using the rich and dynamic sounds of the DJX, and three User songs to which you can record your own performance. The demo songs are generally for your listening enjoyment; however, you can also play along with them on the keyboard. The User songs are “empty” and cannot be played until something has been recorded to them. (For instructions on recording your own songs, see page 80.
SONG PLAYBACK — THE SONG MODE 2 Select the desired song number. Use the numeric keypad. Song numbers can be selected in the same way as with the voices (see page 25).

A total of 100 different styles are available, in a variety of dance music genres. Each style is made up of separate “sections” — Lead In, Beat A and B (with Break Outs), and Lead Out — letting you call up different sections as you perform.
