Creating a Volume (continued)
5) Use the CURSOR buttons to highlight the NAME box to the right of Volume and press S1 to access
the "ASCII Keyboard" display.
6) Use the CURSOR buttons and VALUE dial to select the desired characters.
7) When you are finished naming the Volume, use the CURSOR buttons to highlight [CR] and press
S1 to return to the Edit Performance screen. The new volume name will be displayed.
Saving your Volume and RPS Sequence to Floppy Disk
The Volume and RPS song data that you create can be stored on floppy disks. Use the following
p
rocedure to save the Volume and song information:
1) Press DISK.
2) Press F4 to access the "Disk Save" display.
3) Use the CURSOR buttons to highlight "Target" and the VALUE dial to select "Volume + Song"
("Volume" on the DJ-70mkII).
4) Use the CURSOR buttons to highlight the Volume name that you created in the preceding steps and
press S1. "Are You Ready?" will be displayed. Press S1 and the DJ-70/DJ-70MKII will start saving
your sequence to a floppy disk.
NOTE: To reload both the sequencer and song data be sure to set your target to "Volume + Song"
("Volume" on the DJ-70mkII) on the Disk Load page. If you start your DJ-70/DJ-70MKII with a disk in
the drive that contains a file saved this way, it will load automatically.
Saving Data to an External SCSI Drive (DJ-70mkII)
In addition to floppy disks, all of the Sample and RPS song data you create on the DJ-70mkII can be saved to an
external SCSI device such as a fixed hard drive, removable hard drive, or magneto optical drive. Use the
following procedure to save a Patch to an external SCSI device:
1) Press DISK.
2) Press F4 to access the "Disk Save" display.
3) Use the CURSOR buttons to highlight "Current Drive" and press S1.
4) Use the CURSOR buttons to highlight the desired SCSI device and press S1.
5) Use the CURSOR buttons to highlight "Target" and the VALUE dial to select "Patch."
6) Use the CURSOR buttons to highlight the desired Patch and
b
e displayed. Press S1 and the DJ-70mkII will start saving your sequence to the external drive.
NOTE: When saving a Volume, if the drive you are saving to contains Sample, Partial, Patch, or Performance
data with the same name as the data you are trying to save, "Same Name Found" will be displayed. At
this point you can choose to replace the existing data with the current data (YES), add any new data to the
existing data (NO), or exit the screen and rename the current data (CANCEL). The "Auto Rename" function
will help to avoid this situation. If "Auto Rename" is turned on, the DJ-70mkII automatically assigns a different
name to the Volume you save. For example, if you saved a Volume called "XXX.GUITARS" to an external
drive, the DJ-70mkII would save all of the Performance, Patch, Partial, and Sample data associated with that
Volume. Then, if you change some of the Patch data and save the Volume again, the DJ-70mkII would save
that Volume as "001.GUITARS." Additional Volumes would be saved as "002.GUITARS," "003.GUITARS,"
etc.

Using an External MIDI Sequencer
For maximum flexibility, an external sequencer is the best way to sequence tracks with the DJ-70/DJ-70MKII.
Most types of MIDI sequencers will work with the DJ-70/DJ-70MKII.
Assigning MIDI Channels in a Performance
To use the DJ-70/DJ-70MKII as a controller with an external MIDI sequencer, you will need to create a
Performance whose Patches are assigned to separate MIDI channels. We want to create a setup in which the
DJ-70/DJ-70MKII operates like a controller and a sound module, which is a little different than the RPS
sequencer operates. Create or load a Performance that contains all of the Patches you wish to use in your
sequence and use the following steps to setup that Performance for use with an external sequencer:
