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).

This means that you can select the style you want, then choose a Preset that has the best suited voice, effect, and other settings for that style.
THE KNOBS The Control Knobs of the DJX give you enormously expressive control over various parts of the sound. You can use the knobs to “tweak” the sound of any one of the voices (Main, Dual, or Split) as you perform. Or you can use them to change the sound of individual Parts of the pattern — in real time as the pattern plays! USING USING THE THE KNOBS KNOBS 1 Turn Part Control on. (Press the PART CONTROL button.) 2 Select the Part you want to control.
THE KNOBS 2 Select the Part you want to control. Press one of the PART SELECT keys at the lower end of the keyboard (C#1 B1). Each of the keys corresponds to a different voice or part of the pattern — letting you select the individual instrument sound you want to tweak with the knobs.
THE KNOBS 4 Turn the knobs to change the sound. Turn the desired knob to the left for minimum (or negative) effect and to the right for maximum (or positive). Each knob has a center detent for the “0” or “12 o’clock” position, making it easy to “feel” your way back to zero. Minimum Maximum Knob moves are strictly performance features — they are not transmitted via MIDI and cannot be recorded to a User song.
THE KNOBS About CUTOFF and RESONANCE These are two filter controls found on many analog synthesizers. The filter lets a certain part of the sound (frequency range) of the sound be heard, while muting all higher sounds. The graph below shows how this works: Resonance lets you adjust the level or emphasis of the filter.
THE KNOBS ASSIGN ASSIGN KNOB KNOB The ASSIGN knob, as its name suggests, can be assigned to one of a wide variety of functions — twelve in all — that are not available on the other knobs. 1 Select KNOB ASSIGN in the Overall menu. (Press one of the OVERALL ▲/▼ buttons, repeatedly if necessary.) 2 Select the Assign parameter. (Use the OVERALL +/- buttons.) 3 Use the ASSIGN knob in the same way as the other knobs. (Need a refresher course? See “Fast Track,” page 59.
THE KNOBS ASSIGN Knob Parameters No. Parameter Name Display Name Description 01 Reverb Send Level RevLevel This determines the depth of the Reverb effect. (See page 34.) Turning the knob also automatically turns on Reverb, if it was originally turned off. 02 Chorus Send Level ChoLevel This determines the depth of the Chorus effect. (See page 35.) Turning the knob also automatically turns on Chorus, if it was originally turned off.
THE KNOBS • Want to use another one of these parameters at the same time? • Want to quickly switch among different ASSIGN knob parameters? Remember that the same parameters are also available on the RIBBON CONTROLLER. Simply assign the desired parameter to the RIBBON CONTROLLER. (See page 66.) Use the Performance Setup function to save the knob assignment to one of the PERFORMANCE SETUP buttons for instant recall. Keep in mind that other important knob settings can also be saved. (See page 56.
RIBBON CONTROLLER The RIBBON CONTROLLER is a wonderfully expressive and easy-to-use performance controller. Once a sought-after feature found on vintage analog synthesizers, it is rarely included on modern instruments — until now, with the new DJX! The RIBBON CONTROLLER can be assigned to any one of fifteen different parameters. These include all the same parameters as can be used with the ASSIGN knob, plus the same parameters controlled by the CUTOFF, RESONANCE, and GROOVE knobs.
RIBBON CONTROLLER The following chart lists and briefly explains the parameters. For more information on the workings of the RIBBON CONTROLLER, see the box on page 68. RIBBON CONTROLLER Parameters No. Parameter Name Display Name Description 01 Cutoff Frequency Cutoff This is the same parameter as controlled by the CUTOFF knob (page 61). The mid point on the ribbon corresponds to the 12:00 position of the CUTOFF knob.

(Press the START/STOP button.) 4 Use the RIBBON CONTROLLER to change the sound.
DIGITAL SAMPLING ABOUT ABOUT DIGITAL DIGITAL SAMPLING SAMPLING What is sampling? Technically, sampling is making a digital recording of a sound. The sound could be your voice or an acoustic instrument (taken from a microphone), or a recorded sound (from a CD or cassette player). Once it is recorded, the resulting “sample” can be edited (for example, trimmed or looped) and can then be played at various pitches from a keyboard. Sampling Play Edit Sampling, of course, is a revolutionary new technology.
DIGITAL SAMPLING RECORDING RECORDING A A SAMPLE SAMPLE AND AND PLAYING PLAYING IT IT 1 Set up the DJX for sampling. If you’re sampling your voice or an acoustic instrument with a microphone, connect the microphone to the MIC input jack on the rear panel. If you’re sampling a line source, such as a CD player, cassette deck, or electronic instrument, connect it to the LINE IN input jack. CD player, etc. LINE IN 2 Never connect a line level signal (CD player, cassette deck, electronic instrument, etc.
DIGITAL SAMPLING Guidelines for sampling • Connections: • Proper levels: If you are using a microphone, make sure that it is connected to the MIC jack and not the LINE IN jack. Connecting a microphone to LINE IN will not damage the DJX; however, it will be impossible to get a recordable signal (the microphone level is too low). In general, you’ll want to record the signal as “hot” as possible — loud enough to record and be heard properly, but soft enough to avoid clipping and distortion.
DIGITAL SAMPLING To better understand how trigger level works, let’s look at a specific example — sampling of the phrase “a one and a two.” In this phrase, “one” and “two” are louder than the other words. Volume (level) Sampling start point Trigger level a one and a two Time Since the first “a” is lower than the trigger level, the DJX doesn’t actually start sampling until the word “one.” If you want the phrase to be sampled from the first word, the trigger level should be set lower.
DIGITAL SAMPLING 6 Stop sampling. Make sure to stop sampling immediately at the end of the sound. Recording extra unneeded sound decreases the amount of available memory for additional samples. Press the START/STOP button to stop sampling. The amount of remaining available recording time is shown in the display as a percentage (“100” is the maximum): 062Sampling Available recording time (percentage). RECORD Sampling memory capacity The DJX has memory space for approximately 6 seconds of sampling.
DIGITAL SAMPLING Deleting a sample You can easily delete any specific sample you’ve recorded. To do this: 1 Enter the Sampling mode. Press the RECORD button (in the DIGITAL SAMPLING section). 2 Press the original key of the sample. 3 Delete the sample by pressing the +/FWD button. YESDelete? At the “Delete?” prompt in the display, press the +/FWD button to actually delete the sample.
DIGITAL SAMPLING SAMPLE SAMPLE EDITING EDITING The DJX also features some simple but powerful sample editing tools. These include setting the end point for a sample, and creating sample loops. Setting the End Point In this section, you’ll learn how to set the end point of a recorded sample. The end point determines how much of a sample is played back each time you press a key.
DIGITAL SAMPLING 3 Select the desired sample (wave). Play any key in the sample’s range. Once you’ve found the desired sample, avoid playing any other keys and go on to step #4. 4 Set the sample for “one shot” play. The One Shot setting, as its name implies, lets the sample play back just once each time a key is pressed. To set this: 1) Use the OVERALL ▲/▼ buttons to select the Loop / One Shot function.
DIGITAL SAMPLING 2) Move the cursor along the waveform by using the OVERALL +/ - buttons. The cursor position determines the end point — the point at which sample playback stops. Any sound after the cursor is not played. Cursor is at the third peak in the waveform. (Sample playback stops at this newly selected point.) 3) Play the keyboard and listen to the edited sample.
DIGITAL SAMPLING 6 Exit from the Sampling mode. Press the RECORD button (DIGITAL SAMPLING) again. Your new end point setting is automatically saved, and is called up each time you select the sampled voice (#284). To edit other samples in the voice, simply repeat the entire operation above. Creating Loops Looping is one of the most exciting and useful applications of Digital Sampling. Creating a loop allows you repeat the sample indefinitely, simply by holding a key. 1 Enter the Sampling mode.
DIGITAL SAMPLING 2) Use the OVERALL +/- buttons to change the setting if necessary. (For Loop, this should be set to “YES.”) 5 Adjust the end point. This operation is the same as in step #5 of “Setting the End Point” above. 6 Exit from the Sampling mode. Press the RECORD button (DIGITAL SAMPLING) again. Your new loop and end point settings are automatically saved, and are called up each time you select the sampled voice (#284).
SONG RECORDING The DJX features powerful and easy-to-use song recording features that let you record your keyboard performances — using up to six separate tracks — and create your own complete, fully orchestrated compositions. Up to three User songs can be recorded and saved. There are two record modes: Realtime and Step. SONG Each press of the RECORD button cycles through the three Record modes — Realtime, Step, and PSU (Performance Setup) — before exiting back to normal operation.

When there is no song data, track 1 is automatically selected.) Recording to the Chord Track A special Chord track is provided for recording pattern data. This is automatically recorded to the Chord track (track 6).
SONG RECORDING 3) Select the note (time) value with the numeric keypad. (The note value is shown as an icon in the display.) For example, play middle C (C3), then press the “4” button (1/8 note).
SONG RECORDING Additional Operations Recording Chords and Sections to the Chord Track: 1) Play a chord in the PATTERN section of the keyboard. (The chord name appears in the display.) RECORD m • The Lead In section can only be recorded at the beginning of a song. • When a Lead Out section is selected, no further notes can be recorded. Enter chords in the normal fashion, as single notes or full chords. (See page 50.) 2) Select a section by pressing the corresponding button.
SONG RECORDING 6 Listen to your new recording. You can listen to the entire step recorded track at any time by pressing the START/STOP button. The track you are working on plays back (until stopped), and returns to Step recording at the next position. Keep in mind that this only plays the selected track. To hear all tracks of the song, exit from Step Rec (press the RECORD button), then press the START/STOP button to start song playback. 7 Record to other tracks as desired.
SONG RECORDING Entering Velocity Curves In Step recording, all notes are recorded at the same velocity or volume. To make a Step-recorded track sound more natural or to create some dynamic changes in the track, use the Velocity Curve function. 1) Select the first note to be affected by the Velocity Curve (by using the +/- buttons of the numeric keypad). All subsequent notes will be velocity-transformed.
SONG RECORDING CLEARING CLEARING A A SONG SONG The Song Clear operation (of the Function parameters) completely erases all recorded data on all tracks of a selected User song. Use this operation only when you’re sure you want to erase a song and record a new one. 1 Select the Function mode. Press the FUNCTION button. STYLE F61USng1Clr FUNCTION Flashes to indicate Function parameter can be selected. 2 Select the Function parameter (61 - 63) corresponding to the song you wish to clear.
MIDI FUNCTIONS Even though the DJX is enormously versatile and powerful on its own, it can also be used effectively in any MIDI setup. The DJX is MIDI-compatible, featuring MIDI IN and MIDI OUT terminals and providing a variety of MIDI-related controls. By using the MIDI functions you can expand your musical possibilities. This section explains what MIDI is, and what it can do, as well as how you can use MIDI on your DJX. The MIDI functions cannot be used in the Song mode.
MIDI FUNCTIONS Example of Keyboard Information Voice number (with what voice) 156 (grand piano) Note number (with which key) 60 (C3) Note on (when was it pressed) and note off (when was it released) Timing expressed numerically (quarter note) Velocity (about how strong) 120 (strong) MIDI is an acronym that stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, which allows electronic musical instruments to communicate with each other, by sending and receiving compatible Note, Control Change, Program Chan
MIDI FUNCTIONS CONNECTING CONNECTING TO TO A A PERSONAL PERSONAL COMPUTER COMPUTER By connecting your DJX’s MIDI terminals to a personal computer, you can have access to a wide variety of music software. When using a MIDI interface device installed in the personal computer, connect the MIDI terminals of the personal computer and the DJX. Use only special MIDI cables when connecting MIDI devices. ● Connect the MIDI terminals of the DJX to the MIDI terminals of the personal computer.
MIDI FUNCTIONS FUNCTION FUNCTION PARAMETERS PARAMETERS — — MIDI MIDI The Function parameters provide additional, more detailed MIDI settings for the DJX. These settings include: • Remote Channel • Keyboard Out • Pattern Out • Local Control • External Clock • Bulk Dump Send • Initial Setup Send • Sampling Send Selecting and changing the Function parameters: Press the FUNCTION button, then use the numeric keypad to select the parameter number.
MIDI FUNCTIONS No. Parameter Name Display Name Range/Settings 84 Local on, off Local Control This determines whether the keyboard is “connected” to the internal Voices of the DJX. When set to “on,” the Voices respond to notes played from the keyboard. When set to “off,” the Voices respond only to incoming MIDI data (via MIDI IN). The default setting is “on.” If you are routing the MIDI OUT on the DJX to a sequencer and back to the MIDI IN, you may want to set this to “off” to avoid MIDI “feedback.
MIDI FUNCTIONS USING USING BULK BULK DUMP DUMP SEND/SAMPLING SEND/SAMPLING SEND SEND TO TO SAVE SAVE DATA DATA The actual operation steps for these two functions are identical. The Bulk Dump Send function saves User Performance Setup and User Song. The Sampling Send function saves only user-sampled data (“Sampled” voice, #284). Saving Bulk Data/Sampling Data 1 First, set up the connected MIDI device for recording the data.
MIDI FUNCTIONS 4 At the “Sure?” prompt, start sending the data. Press the + button to actually start transmitting the data, or press the - button to cancel the operation and return to step 3. Keep in mind that this operation could take several minutes to complete.
MIDI FUNCTIONS Loading Bulk Data/Sampling Data Once you’ve saved DJX data as described above, you can easily reload the data back to the DJX. 1 Set up the connected MIDI device for sending the appropriate data. The actual procedure may differ depending on your particular equipment and software. For example, if you are using the Yamaha MDF3 MIDI Data Filer: 1) Make the appropriate MIDI connections.
MIDI FUNCTIONS When the operation is completed, the following display briefly appears (before returning to the original operation). YESEnd STYLE FUNCTION USING USING INITIAL INITIAL SETUP SETUP SEND SEND WITH WITH A A SEQUENCER SEQUENCER The most common use for the Initial Setup Send function is in recording a song on a sequencer that is intended for playback with the DJX. Essentially, this takes a “snapshot” of the DJX settings and sends that data to the sequencer.
MIDI FUNCTIONS 3 At the “InitSnd?” prompt above, set the operation to standby. Press the + button. STYLE YESSure? FUNCTION 4 Start recording on the sequencer, then send the Initial Setup data. Start recording on the sequencer in the normal way, then — with as little delay as possible — press the + button to actually start transmitting the data. An “End” message briefly appears in the display when the operation is complete, followed by the “InitSnd?” prompt. 5 Stop recording on the sequencer.
TROUBLESHOOTING Problem When the DJX is turned on or off, a popping sound is temporarily produced. This is normal and indicates that the DJX is receiving electrical power. There is a persistent “humming” or “buzzing” sound. Make sure that the power adaptor is not close to or resting on the DJX panel. There is no sound even when the keyboard is played or when a song is being played back. Check that nothing is connected to the PHONES/AUX OUT jack on the rear panel.
TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Possible Cause and Solution The ASSIGN knob and/or RIBBON CONTROLLER do not seem to affect the selected Part. The sound of certain Parts may change very little or not at all, depending on the sound itself and the effect or parameter used. GROOVE or Dynamics do not have any effect on the Drum Loop voices. This is normal. The Drum Loop voices are sampled rhythms; GROOVE and Dynamics only affect pattern data. The footswitch seems to produce the opposite effect.
VOICE LIST ■ Maximum Polyphony The DJX has 32-note maximum polyphony. This means that it can play a maximum of up to 32 notes at once, regardless of what functions are used. The patterns use a number of the available notes, so when a pattern is played the total number of available notes for playing on the keyboard is correspondingly reduced. The same applies to the Dual Voice, Split Voice, and Song functions. • The Voice List includes MIDI program change numbers for each voice.
