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.

1 Connect this unit’s [USB] terminal to the computer.

For details about connections, see Connecting to the control panel on

page 8.

2 Launch the DJ software.

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

Turn the MIDI function on.

Transmission of the MIDI messages begin.

! When a fader or control is moved, a message corresponding to the

position is sent.

! When the [START/STOP] button is pressed and held in for more than

2 seconds, a set of MIDI messages corresponding to the button,

fader or control positions is sent (Snapshot).

! When the [ON/OFF] button for [MIDI] is pressed again, transmission

of MIDI messages stops.

! The MIDI timing clocks (BPM information) are sent regardless of the

[MIDI] [ON/OFF] button’s setting.

 Sending the MIDI start and MIDI stop messages

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

! The MIDI start and MIDI stop messages are sent alternatively each

time the [START/STOP] button is pressed, regardless of whether the

MIDI function is on or off.

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 but-

tons 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.

1 Connect the [MIDI OUT] terminal to the external

MIDI sequencer’s MIDI IN terminal using a commercially

available MIDI cable.

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

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

The MIDI start message is sent.

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

Transmission of the MIDI messages begin.
