Make all desired DJX settings.
Before you actually start recording, you’ll need to make various settings for
the song — such as selecting a style, setting the BPM (Tempo), and select-
ing a voice. (See pages 44, 41, and 24.)
Selecting a style lets you use the sophisticated pattern features as part of
your song. In this way, you can simply play the chords, and the DJX auto-
matically creates the appropriate bass and chord backing. (For more
information on patterns, see page 44.)
If desired, also make other settings. Refer to the list above for settings that
can be recorded to a song.
