Operating DJ software using the MIDI function
This unit outputs the operation information of buttons and controls in universal MIDI
format.
When connected by USB cable to a computer on which a MIDI-compatible DJ soft-
ware program is installed, the DJ software can be operated from this unit.
Install the DJ software on your computer in advance. Also, adjust audio and MIDI
settings for the DJ software.
! For MIDI channel setting instructions, see Changing the settings on page 22.
! For the messages output by this unit, see List of MIDI Messages on page 20.

a set of MIDI messages corresponding to the button, fader or control positions is
sent (Snapshot).
! When the [ON/OFF (UTILITY)] button is pressed again, sending of the MIDI mes-
sages is stopped.
! The MIDI timing clock (BPM information) is sent regardless of the status of the
[ON/OFF (UTILITY)] button.
 Making the preparations to use the MIDI LFO function
The MIDI-compatible software, devices, etc. (referred to as the "MIDI signal recep-
tion side" below) must be prepared ("learned") before using the MIDI LFO function.
Perform the learning operations on the MIDI signal reception side.
! For the messages output by this unit, see List of MIDI Messages on page 20.

fers when [SND/RTN (MIDI LFO)] is selected and when anything other than
[SND/RTN (MIDI LFO)] is selected.
The [ON/OFF] button's MIDI message of [BEAT EFFECTS] when [SND/RTN
(MIDI LFO)] is selected is only sent when the operation is performed following
this procedure.

! If necessary, set the MIDI mapping for other buttons and controls.
Because the [LFO FORM (WAKE UP)] button's MIDI message is sent sequen-
tially, depending on the MIDI signal reception side's settings, it may not be
possible to learn the MIDI message.
To set the MIDI mapping for other buttons and controls, press the
[LFO FORM(WAKE UP)] button to switch to [SND/RTN].

Operating an external MIDI sequencer

This unit outputs the operation information of buttons and controls in universal MIDI
format.
This unit sends the tempo of the currently playing source (BPM information) as the
MIDI timing clock. This can be used to synchronize an external MIDI sequencer with
the tempo of the source.
! For the messages output by this unit, see List of MIDI Messages on page 20.
! 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 manually 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 [ON/ OFF] in the [MIDI] section.
Transmission of the MIDI messages begin.
