One-Bar Patterns - All In A Row - Yamaha DJX-IIB Owner's Manual

51
Nearly all of the DJX-IIB's Patterns change every bar (four beats). Some loop in two-bar patterns,
some loop every four bars. Some Patterns have more obvious changes than others (for example,
listen to P59, V A1), but all have some sort of musical or textural progression that make the music
flow and breathe.
You can create a different kind of flow by playing different Patterns in a row, each Pattern lasting
just one bar. Select P59, and play V A1, A2, A3, and A4 like this:
One Two Three Four
Hit A1!
Repeat the above passage for about four or eight times, then switch to this:
One Two Three Four
Hit A5!
See how easily this lets you create your own two- or four-bar variations! Try it out with some of the
other Patterns, too.
