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-700-S/DJM-700-K uses the MIDI protocol for transmitting data about component operation and BPM (timing clock).

SYNCHRONIZING AUDIO SIGNALS TO EXTERNAL SEQUENCER, OR USING DJM-700-S/DJM-700-K INFORMATION TO OPERATE AN EXTERNAL SEQUENCER

1Use a commercially available MIDI cable to connect the DJM-700-S/DJM-700-K’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.

2Press the MIDI START/STOP button.

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

[MIDI Channel Setting]

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

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

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

2Rotate the TIME dial to select the MIDI channel.

3Press the MIDI START/STOP button.

Records MIDI channel. During recording of channel, [SAVE] indicator flashes.

When recording of channel is completed, [END] is displayed.

4Set power to OFF.
