Rare Yamaha Djx 2 Keyboard with PSU & Manual
Product descriptionThe DJX-II is a 61-key keyboard with a built-in-groove box and sampler filled with Old Skool Funk, Hip Hop, Techno, and R&B grooves. Great electronic and acoustic sounds, including human voice samples, provide music with an edge. Synthesizer-type analog knobs allow natural control of cutoff and resonance. Capture the keyboard performance plus every tweak and knob turn to one of six pads for instant re-play. MIDI In/Out function can be utilized for loading new patterns or syncing to external MIDI devices. Color-coded keys make operation easy and fun. Bass boost makes for a huge sound. It’s unlike any other portable keyboard. The DJX-II keyboard from Yamaha is like no keyboard you’ve seen or played before. The extraordinarily versatile keyboard can be used as a conventional keyboard, for playing melodies and chords. However, for the powerful DJ functions, the keyboard is a large bank of convenient buttons that can be used to trigger and control the various Patterns and sounds of the instrument. The DJ functions are accessed using the 5 distinctive sections denoted by 2 different shades of gray keys (see picture above). How does it work? Starting at the left, the first gray area is for inputting chord changes for the currently selected pattern (triggered by single keys – for the pattern in the key of C, press C, for F, press F etc.). The second gray section is for adjusting levels and tone of the individual instruments. For example, you could just turn up the snare, or make the kick drum deeper or adjust the brightness of the guitar. You use the third section of gray keys to turn individual instrument sounds of the Pattern on and off, as the Pattern plays. For example, you could have just the kick & snare playing and then add the bass, then the hi-hats and finally bring in the guitars and brass parts. The DJX-II has 70 different built-in patterns with 10 variations of each pattern and the fourth gray section is for selecting the different variations.
The DJX-II is a Groove Machine and entry-level keyboard designed for great sounding techno and dance music. Features include an on-board but limited 8-bit sampler and Yamaha’s AWM synthesis technology for sounds similar to the AN1x, CS2x, and CS6x. Designed for DJs and budding musicians, the DJX-II is a live groove-machine, no keyboard skills required! The keys are primarily used to select patterns, mute parts, add preset hits or fills, and shift the key of the patterns playing. But in voice mode, you can play any of its 202 sounds or drums across the keyboard like a regular synthesizer.The DJX-II is chock-full of DJ style features that suit this keyboard for live use in clubs, raves and other dance parties! There’s a Bass Boost System to add extra ‘oomph’ to your sounds, especially bass-lines. An Audio bpm Counter will sync the DJX-II up to your vinyl records or CDs via the RCA line inputs. The Pattern Player can generate about 700 various dance-oriented patterns and variations, available at the press of a key! Additionally there are dynamic filters, digital effects like reverb and chorus, Isolator – a 3-band EQ, tap-tempo, a ribbon controller, a key shifter, and built-in speakers.Patterns are assigned by the user to the Pattern Player Part keys (2nd set of white keys). Parts can be muted using Part Mixer keys (2nd set of dark keys) to build-up or break-down your tracks. Additional hits and fills can be added using the Activator keys (3rd set of dark keys). The Key Shifter keys (1st set of dark keys) can transpose all your patterns for a sense of chord progressions or key changes. While patterns are playing, Voice mode can be engaged for jamming live with the grooves. The Part Selector keys (1st set of white keys) are used to select individual parts of a pattern, ie: kick, snare, bass, hi-hat, percussion and riff layers. Selected Parts can then be altered via the dynamic filters and part levels.
