You can easily delete any specific sample you’ve recorded.  To do this:

1  Enter the Sampling mode.

Press the RECORD button (in the DIGITAL SAMPLING section).

2  Press the original key of the sample.

DIGITAL SAMPLING

Recording additional samples

The DJX has space for a total of twelve samples.  Recording of additional samples is

very easy.  Simply follow the same steps as you did in recording your first sample, but

select a different key in step #4.

Additional samples are mapped to the

keyboard so that there is equal space

between samples.  For example, if you’ve

recorded one sample to C3, and then

recorded a new sample to A3, the samples

are mapped to the keyboard in this

fashion:

• Forgotten where all your samples are?

If you’ve recorded several samples, it may be hard to

keep track of which keys you’ve recorded them to.  The

DJX lets you easily check where the original key of

each of your samples is.

Each original key is darkened in the display.  Since

there is not enough room in the display to show the

entire keyboard, each octave is shown separately

(indicated by the number at the bottom).  To step up or

down through the octaves, use the OVERALL +/-

buttons.

Second sample recorded at A3.

("Split point" between the

samples is half the distance

between the original keys.)
