Quick Guide
Playing Like a DJ!
The dynamic Groove Creator function and Live Control Knobs give you powerful tools
to sound just like a pro DJ! Since the Grooves and section variations change seam-
lessly without breaks in the rhythm, performing is truly easy. Still, a sense of rhythm is
important. So, turn up the volume, feel the rhythm in your body, and work the buttons
and knobs—as if you were in front of the dance floor!
In this example using Groove number 001 (Elec Dnc.), you’ll learn how to take one
Groove and transform it in a variety of ways.

Press the [GROOVE CREATOR] button,
and select Groove 001 with the dial or
number buttons.
2
Use the [TRACK CONTROL] buttons to
turn on tracks [1], [2] and [3], and turn off
tracks [4], [5] and [6], so that only the
rhythm plays back.

Section A (shown as “SECT A” in the
display).

Press the [ ] button to start play-

the display, wait until the fourth beat of

taneously press the track [4] and [5] but-
tons to turn on tracks [4] and [5].

as they change on the display, press the
section [B] button at a musically appro-
priate time to switch to Section B.

the section [C] or [D] button to build up
the Groove.

[KNOB ASSIGN] button several times (as

bright sound. Move it slowly in time with
the rhythm.
