BPM/Tap Basics

Control over bpm means control over the dance floor! Some mixologists have this down
to a science. Use these tips to get started with your own bpm explorations.

Another sure-fire way to stir things up is to play with the bpm. Turn up the bpm and turn up the
heat!
Press BPM/TAP once and turn the dial. For you techies, the bpm range is 32.0 - 280.0. try starting
the Pattern at a slower-than-normal bpm, then gradually bring the bpm up in speed to get the
groove really happening!
N Be careful! If the Pattern is stopped and you turn the dial past 280.0, "Sync" appears in the dis-
play and the DJX-II goes into the Sync Mode (see page 69). To get out of this mode, simply turn
the dial to the left, until bpm values appear in the display again.
