Eighth-Note Scratching; Sixteenth-Note Scratching - Yamaha DJX-IIB Owner's Manual

22
Once you've mastered quarter-note scratching, eighth notes are real easy! Just double up your
scratching and play two scratches (forward and back) on every beat!
For this example, call up P39 and play V B5. For your scratching, try out Scratch 01 and rock the
pad back and forth in short 1/8 turns.

Now let's go a little bit faster. Since sixteenth notes are half the value of eighth notes, you'll have to
play twice as fast! This means four scratches (forward-back-forward-back) on every beat.
For this exercise, call up P41 and play V A1. For an alternate scratch, try out Scratch 13 and (like in
Tip 22 above) work the pad in short 1/8 turns.
Slow down the bpm (Tip 39) if necessary — this will let you lock into the rhythm more easily.
