MIDI SETTINGS
MIDI is an acronym for "Musical Instrument Digital Interface" and
refers to a protocol developed for the exchange of data between
electronic instruments and computers.
A MIDI cable is used to connect components equipped with MIDI
connectors to enable the transmission and receipt of data.
The DJM-800 uses the MIDI protocol for transmitting and receiving
data about component operation and BPM (timing clock).

SYNCHRONIZING AUDIO SIGNALS
TO EXTERNAL SEQUENCER, OR
USING DJM-800 INFORMATION TO
OPERATE AN EXTERNAL
SEQUENCER
1. Use a commercially available MIDI cable to connect the
DJM-800's MIDI OUT connector to the MIDI sequencer's
MIDI IN connector.
¶ Set the MIDI sequencer's synch mode to "Slave".
¶ MIDI sequencers that do not support MIDI timing clock cannot
be synchronized.
¶ Synch may not be achieved if the track's BPM cannot be
detected and measured stably.
¶ BPM values set with the TAP mode can also be used to output
the timing clock.
2. Press the MIDI START/STOP button.
¶ The MIDI timing clock output range is 40 to 250 BPM.
Note:
¶ Accurate measuring of BPM may be impossible with some tracks.
[MIDI Channel Setting]
The MIDI channel (1 to 16) can be set and stored in memory.
1. While holding the MIDI START/STOP button depressed,
set the power switch to ON.
¶ The display will show [MIDI CH SETTING] and the unit will
enter the MIDI setting mode.
2. Rotate the TIME dial to select the MIDI channel.
3. Press the MIDI START/STOP button.
¶ The selected MIDI channel will be recorded.
4. Set power to OFF.
