Customer Reviews of Yamaha DJXIIB DJ Box That Rocks! with AC Adapter

The loops are okay, i mean a fair few are weird (but useable) stuff - but on the whole made a joy by the break down Part Mixer setting... Then you bring in the FX and you are really talking. You could go on for hours about each, but you start envoking the Ring Mod effect and playing with the knobs and dials (names become irrelevant when you know what they do!) and you can keep a crowd going for hours!!!

Hard to be a DJ Snob when you see what fun you can have!

Enjoy!

Not Bad
I bought the DJXIIB about 1 week ago. I had always wanted to "scratch" and the IIB certainly allowed me to do that. Before buying it, I read all of the online reviews that I could find. Not surprisingly, some people said it [stunk] whereas other raved. I've played around with it now for about a week and I have not even come close (given time constraints) to playing all of the sounds, etc. I have a Radio Shack Concermate 990 MIDI keyboard and I've hooked the two up. The keyboard plays through the IIB and you can apply the 10 effects to the keyboard notes (It'l like having 10 effects pedals). A neat feature that I noticed is that when you play a pattern on the IIB, it automatically adjusts the 6 drum pads on the Concermate 990 (they look like orange Chicklets) to match the correct drum kit on the pattern.

I also have a CD / MP3 player (the D-Link) and the IIB matched the beats on the songs. I could see hooking up my keyboard to the IIB and the CD player to both the IIB and a mixer. You could play up to 120 MP3 songs on the MP3/CD player and all the while sync the beat with the IIB (with a split cable since the D-Link has a line out jack) all the while laying down melodies over the top of the IIB with the keyboard (I've noticed that several of the patterns are simple I, IV, V progressions).

With a CD player playing 120 songs, scratch capabilities, and a keyboard, add a mixer and you could be the life of your friends' parties.

For the beginner or hobbyist
OK, Let's get one thing straight people. If you are a DJ, think your a DJ or are expecting that this will perform like a Pro DJ system...YOUR DREAMING! The Yamaha DJX is the adult version of getting your first toy keyboard, guitar or heck even "My First Sony". If you want to become a DJ or just want to fool around this is the BEST machine on the market. The price and features set it far above any of its competitors. With 700 patterns, 10 effects and 73 scratching effects, it will take you a year to examine the diversity of music that can be made. I bought this machine to add flavour to my guitar and drum tracks. When I took it out of the box I was hooked and can't put it down. A creative individual with limited electronic knowledge will be able hook this up to Midi, or even a 4-track recorder. The instruction manual is a godsent, explaining in immaculate detail how the unit works. It comes with 100 tips which are invaluble as well as software that unlocks even more information. Keep in mind that this is not a pro unit and you will be extremely BLOWN AWAY by what Yamaha has delivered in such a small package.
