Monster Yamaha Double DJX Freakout!
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.

I’ve created a monster by MIDIing a Yamaha DJX mk I with a Yamaha DJX II. These beasts maybe be from the same family, but they are quite different and fun for making all sorts of sonic mayhem.
