Therefore, 3B button could for example execute these functions:
•
To activate PLAY: press 3B with LAYOUT in position 1
•
To activate FLANGER: press 3B with LAYOUT in position 2
•
To activate REC SAMPLER: press 3B with LAYOUT in position 3
In addition, with A/B switch described above, you can execute all these functions for a channel or another one in
your DJ software. This way:
•
To activate REC SAMPLER for right player: press 3B with LAYOUT in position 3 and A/B switch in
position A
•
To activate REC SAMPLER for left player: press 3B with LAYOUT in position 3 and A/B switch in
position B
In summary, LAYOUT and A/B combinations allow to send 6 different MIDI messages from each of the 12 NUO4
dedicated MIDI controls. Therefore, you can send a total of 72 different MIDI messages.
The controls of the specific MIDI control section can be related to any NUO4 MIDI channels (INPUT2 or INPUT3) or
can operate independently. If they operate as independent controls, they will always send MIDI messages even if
MIDI is not selected with these two channels input selectors. On the contrary, if a control is related to a specific
channel, it will only send MIDI messages with this channel in MIDI mode. This assignation is done with
Ecler Control 4 Lab software.

6.4. Real-time messages

6.4.1. MIDI Clock

The NUO4 transmits a standard timing message named MIDI Clock, to synchronize one or several external MIDI
devices. The synchronization signal is the same message sent 24 times per quarter note.
To control a MIDI device, remember this device has to operate in slave mode (external Clock).
The NUO4 has no internal processor for BPM calculation. The tempo for a specific musical part has to be manually
set, repeatedly pressing the TAP button (a minimum of 5 times) to the desired tempo. The TAP button blinks to the
BPM rate you established.
A more precise BPM adjustment can be done assigning one of the MIDI controls to this function with
Ecler Control 4 Lab software.
MIDI Clock can be deactivated by holding down the TAP button more than 3 seconds. When this happens, TAP
button does not blink. Once deactivated, it will not operate until you explicitly activate it by holding down the TAP
button more than 3 seconds. The selected mode will be maintained after shutdown.
Tempo default value is 120 BPM after each shutdown or MIDI Clock activation.
6.4.2. Start, Stop and Continue messages
When an external device is synchronized by MIDI Clock, standard Start, Stop and Continue messages are used to
control the playing.
Any NUO4 MIDI button can send these messages. Programming is done with Ecler Control 4 Lab software.
