®ÂØÒÅˆÎ DJ-70/DJ-70MKII Supplemental Notes

ssigning MIDI Channels in a Performance (continued)

1) Press PERFORM. Use the CURSOR buttons to highlight PLAY and press S1 to access the “Play

Page” display.

2) Use the CURSOR buttons and VALUE dial to select “ --------Off-------“ for Part 1.

3) Press F2 to access Play Page 2 (this will be displayed at the top of the screen).

4) Use the CURSOR buttons to highlight the parameter under “KB” and use the VALUE dial to select

ON for Part 1.

5) Use the DOWN CURSOR button to highlight the “KB” parameter for Part 2 and use the VALUE dial to

select “—.” Repeat this procedure for Parts 3-31.

6) Press F2 to access Play Page 3 (this will be displayed at the top of the screen). “CH” will be

displayed on the right side of the screen. This is the MIDI channel setting for each Patch. The default

setting for each Patch is BS (Basic Channel).

7) Use the CURSOR buttons to highlight BS for Part 2 and use the VALUE dial to select MIDI channel 1.

8) Use the CURSOR buttons and VALUE dial to select the desired MIDI channels for each of the

remaining Parts (3-31) that you are going to use (Use the F3, F4, and F5 buttons to select Parts 9-

31). Set the MIDI channel for any unused Parts to “—.”

9) Use the CURSOR buttons and VALUE dial to select MIDI channel 1 for Part 1.

10) Make sure that the sequencer you are using has its MIDI thru (echo) function enabled. You should be

able to hear the Patch assigned to Part 2 (MIDI channel 1). The MIDI channel setting for Part 1

determines which Patch you will hear. For example, if you had set Part 3 to MIDI channel 2 you would

need to set the Part 1 MIDI channel to 2 in order to hear the Patch assigned to Part 3.*

11) To record, set the MIDI channel for Part 1 to the same channel as the Part you wish to record and start

recording on your sequencer. The sequencer will then playback each track as you recorded it.

*NOTE: Some sequencers have a function referred to as “auto channelize.” This function allows you to

receive MIDI data on any channel and redirect it to the desired MIDI channel within the sequencer itself. In

this case you will not need to change the MIDI channel for Part 1 on the DJ-70/DJ-70MKII (as in step #11

above) in order to hear the various Parts. You will need to select the desired MIDI channel within the

sequencing software. This feature is very common amongst computer based sequencing programs.

Using an External Keyboard

When you use the DJ-70/DJ-70MKII with an external device, such as a MIDI controller keyboard, you will

probably want to set each Patch to receive on an independent MIDI channel. Then you can use the MIDI

ransmit channel of your controller keyboard to determine which Patch will be played.

1) Press PERFORM. Use the CURSOR buttons to highlight Edit Performance and press S1.

2) Press F2 to access the ”Edit Performance Page 1” screen.

3) Use the CURSOR buttons and VALUE dial to select the desired Patches and MIDI channels for each

of the Parts 1-31 (Use the F3, F4, and F5 buttons to select Parts 9-31).

4) Set the MIDI transmit channel of your controller keyboard to match the MIDI channel of the Part that

contains the Patch you wish to hear. For example, if you had a bass sound assigned to Part 2 on the

DJ-70/DJ-70MKII and Part 2 was assigned to MIDI channel 2, you would need to set the transmit

channel on your keyboard to MIDI channel 2 in order to hear the bass sound.

To play two or more sounds at the same time you can assign the desired Patches to separate Parts and

then assign those Parts to the same MIDI channel. If you would like to split the keyboard (have different

sounds triggered in different ranges of the keyboard) you can set the key ranges from this screen by

adjusting the L.P. (Lower Point) and U.P. (Upper Point) settings for each Part.
