The DJX is more of a kids toy keyboard, but it can be a great introduction for those into dance and trance etc. Some of the preset voices are OK, and are tweakable with the cutoff and resonant filters. Preset patterns are as good as home keyboards usually are, but not up to much. I use it as a MIDI controler.

Man I love my DJX keyboard!!! I brought it 4 years ago and I still love it. It was the first keyboard I ever owned!!! I now own a Korg Triton but I still miss the days of my DJX!!! It's fun if you let it be!!!

I have owned this puppy for 3 years and its still one of my favorite instruments to play with. I have a lot of other "better" gear, but this DJX is just a pleasure to work with. I love how it will use batteries too. I loved this so much that I bought the DJX-IIB (the box) and its very cool too and very different, but nothing is like the original DJX. THIS Board is a CLASSIC for little money. You cannot go wrong here. Its a fun piece to own and play and it still surprises me with what it can do and do very well. :}}

WOW! This is the best deal I've ever had. I paid $81 for this baby on ebay. Very nice! If you want a nice entry level keyboard, this is it! They crammed so much stuff in here...it is a little creativity-restricting, cuz some keys are reserved for beats, which can really be annoying when your trying to actually play. You can actually slightly mod the volume envelope with this! The cutoff knob and turntable function are really nice. This is a steal at less than $200, I think everyone should have one. but remember, its not a true synth...oh yeah, and TOO MANY RAP SETTINGS!! But its great, I love it.

DJX makes AWESOME MIDI controller for QYx's, them knobs/ribbon actually transmit XG Parameters. MIDI this thing up to a QY70 or QY100 and BAM!! Just like that you've added a 16 track 20 song sequencer with on-screen 'mixing board' and event list editor, about 500+ more patches/drumkits (XG), even better and more effects to play with (you can tweak them too!!), and a really nice auto-acomp. system that will give you plenty of alternatives over all the rap and techno shit on the DJX. Yes you can MIDI Out from the QY into the DJX if you want the sounds and you can get your patches simply by setting LSB/MSB banks and patch numbers into your tracks. All your knob moves and whatnot WILL RECORD into the QY unlike the DJX sequencer. Lastly, get the 'to host' cable and hook it up to the serial port on your PC; other end into QY. This eliminates the need for a seperate MIDI interface!!! Heck you don't even need a soundcard!! Last but not least; the QY comes with a CD-ROM that has a "MIDI Data Filer" program and drivers for the serial interface. It also runs in Windows 3.1 so your ancient 486 computer can handle it just fine. And if you do use sequencing software, the serial port interface functions wonderfully as a MIDI In/Out port. ALL OF THIS FOR JUST A FEW HUNDRED BUCKS!!! Yamaha Rules!!! They just think of everything don't they?!
