    Default Beat Juggling

    I've gotten into beat juggling with my VSI 100 SE recently. I'm ok I guess but my technique is not as good as say some of those videos of Ean I have seen. Does anyone know some tricks to beat juggle like a pro?

    Ive never really understood the whole beatjuggling thing with a controller. as surely its just hitting cue point buttons which really means its not beat juggling. Is there videos of this in action somewhere, using a vci?

    Well, I suppose its the jumping from A to B and using Cue Points.....

    So you gotta jam the XFader and one of the cue buttons....back and forth keeping time.

    Try it...

    I find that finding the right cues to use for juggling is the hardest part.

    take a look at eanīs rock-you routine video where he explains where he did put the cues. like 1 on base,2 on kick, 3 on snare,4 on the snare and 5 on the downbeat. Then start playing different patterns like bum-tschak-bum-bum-tschak
