Sync Applications - Using The Djx-Ii As The Slave - Yamaha DJX-II Owner's Manual

97
Here we'll do the opposite of Tip 96 above. This sophisticated application lets you play sequenced
Patterns and song data on an external sequencer and have the Patterns of the DJX-II lock into the
bpm of that device.
1 Set up the DJX-II and the external device.
Use a standard MIDI cable to connect the two devices as shown.
2 Set the DJX-II to "external sync."
Simultaneously hold down BPM/TAP and turn the data dial clockwise, a couple of turns past the
maximum of 280.0, until "Sync" appears in the display.
3 Play the DJX-II.
When you start and stop the song or Pattern on the external device, the Patterns of the DJX-II
start and stop at the same time. Likewise, changing the bpm on the external device automati-
cally changes the bpm of the DJX-II. All playback operations function in perfect sync between
the two machines, with the external device as the master and the DJX-II as the slave.
