USING MIDI FOR COMPUTER CONTROL

MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a standardized protocol used to govern data transmission between electronic musical instruments and computers.

The SEP-C1 uses the MIDI message format to output its operating data and status to a computer connected by USB cable. By using a DJ software program with USB MIDI support to assign the MIDI messages output by the SEP-C1, the SEP-C1 can be used to control the DJ software.

For more information regarding messages output by the SEP-C1, consult the section “MIDI MESSAGE TABLE” (P. 23).

The center display will show the [PRO DJ] logo.

2Start the DJ software program.

When communication is established with the DJ program, the SEP-C1 operates as a MIDI controller, and the status of controller A/B and center display section’s buttons and controls are output as MIDI messages.
