MIDI SETTINGS

MIDI is an acronym for “Musical Instrument Digital Interface” and refers to a protocol developed for the exchange of data between electronic instruments and computers.

A MIDI cable is used to connect components equipped with MIDI connectors to enable the transmission and receipt of data.

The DJM-800 uses the MIDI protocol for transmitting and receiving data about component operation and BPM (timing clock).

SYNCHRONIZING AUDIO SIGNALS TO EXTERNAL SEQUENCER, OR USING DJM-800 INFORMATION TO OPERATE AN EXTERNAL SEQUENCER

1.Use a commercially available MIDI cable to connect the DJM-800’s MIDI OUT connector to the MIDI sequencer’s MIDI IN connector.

Set the MIDI sequencer’s synch mode to “Slave”.

MIDI sequencers that do not support MIDI timing clock cannot be synchronized.

Synch may not be achieved if the track’s BPM cannot be detected and measured stably.

BPM values set with the TAP mode can also be used to output the timing clock.

2.Press the MIDI START/STOP button.

The MIDI timing clock output range is 40 to 250 BPM.

Note:

Accurate measuring of BPM may be impossible with some tracks.

[MIDI Channel Setting]

The MIDI channel (1 to 16) can be set and stored in memory.

1.While holding the MIDI START/STOP button depressed, set the power switch to ON.

The display will show [MIDI CH SETTING] and the unit will enter the MIDI setting mode.

2.Rotate the TIME dial to select the MIDI channel.3.Press the MIDI START/STOP button.

The selected MIDI channel will be recorded.

4.Set power to OFF.
