Operating DJ software using the MIDI function

This unit is equipped with a “Full Assignable MIDI” function allowing the operation information of virtually all of the unit’s controls and buttons to be sent to the DJ software as MIDI signals. This unit can be used as a USB MIDI controller when it is connected by USB cable to a computer on which MIDI-compatible DJ software is installed. Furthermore, the tempo (BPM) of the sound being played is sent as MIDI timing clocks, so the tempo on the DJ software can be synchronized with the tempo of the sound output from this unit.

To operate DJ software with this unit, first install the MIDI-compatible DJ software on the computer. The MIDI-related settings must also be made on the DJ software.

!For the messages output by this unit, see List of MIDI Messages on page 21.

!If you want to change this unit’s MIDI channel, see Changing the settings on page 23.

Operating an external MIDI sequencer

This unit is equipped with a “Full Assignable MIDI” function allowing the operation information of virtually all of the unit’s controls and buttons to be sent to an external device (effector, etc.) as MIDI signals. This unit can be used as a USB MIDI controller when it is connected by MIDI cable to a MIDI-compatible external device. Furthermore, the tempo (BPM) of the sound being played is sent as MIDI timing clocks, so the tempo on the external device (sequencer, etc.) can be synchronized with the tempo of sound output from this unit.

!For the messages output by this unit, see List of MIDI Messages on page 21.

!External MIDI sequencers not supporting MIDI timing clocks cannot be synchronized.

!External MIDI sequencers cannot be synchronized for sources for which the BPM cannot be measured stably.

!The MIDI timing clock is output even with BPM values input manu- ally by tapping the [TAP] button with a finger. The MIDI timing clock output range is 40 BPM to 250 BPM.

1Connect the [MIDI OUT] terminal to the external MIDI sequencer’s MIDI IN terminal using a commercially available MIDI cable.

2Set the external MIDI sequencer’s sync mode to Slave.

3Press the [START/STOP] button for [MIDI].

The MIDI start message is sent.

4 Press the [MIDI] [ON/OFF] button.
