MIDI FUNCTIONS FFUUNNCCTTIIOONN PPAARRAAMMEETTEERRSS -- MMIIDDII The Function parameters provide additional, more detailed MIDI settings for the DJX. These settings include: • Remote Channel • Keyboard Out • Pattern Out • Local Control • External Clock • Bulk Dump Send • Initial Setup Send • Sampling Send Selecting and changing the Function parameters: Press the FUNCTION button, then use the numeric keypad to select the parameter number. After "FUNCTION" stops flashing, use the numeric keypad or +/- buttons to change the setting. (For details, see page 18.) The MIDI settings below are saved even when the power is turned off. However, MIDI settings are NOT included in the data saved to the User banks in the Performance Setup feature (page 56). Function Parameters No. Parameter Name Display Name Range/Settings 81 Remote Channel RemoteCh off, 01 - 16 This determines how the DJX is controlled by a "remote" (external) MIDI keyboard. Set this to one of the 16 channels (01 - 16) for using an external keyboard to remotely control the DJX functions over the selected channel. (The remaining 15 channels can be used for multi-timbral operation.) When this is set to "off," the DJX can be used as a full 16-channel multi-timbral sound source. The default setting is "off." 82 Keyboard Out KbdOut on, off This determines whether the keyboard performance data of the DJX is transmitted or not. When this is set to "off," notes played on the DJX will not affect (not be transmitted to) the connected MIDI device. When this is set to "on," the following keyboard data is transmitted: Main voice part over channel 1, Split voice part over channel 2, and Dual voice part over channel 11. The default setting is "on." If both Keyboard Out and Local Control (#84 below) are set to "off," neither the connected MIDI device nor the DJX voices will sound when playing the keyboard. 83 Pattern Out PtrnOut on, off This determines whether pattern data is transmitted via MIDI OUT or not. When set to "on," pattern data is transmitted over channels 3 - 10 (as listed below). The default setting is "off." Pattern Transmit Channels: Channel 3 - Hi-hat Channel 4 - Percussion Channel 5 - Bass Channel 6 - Phrase 1 Channel 7 - Phrase 2 Channel 8 - Phrase 3 Channel 9 - Kick Channel 10 - Snare You can use Pattern Out in several ways. One useful application would be to play all or selected parts on a connected MIDI tone generator. In this way you could reinforce the DJX sounds by layering (or substituting) with the sounds of the tone generator. In a different application, you could record the individual parts from each channel to a sequencer, and use the comprehensive editing features of the sequencer to re-arrange the pattern parts. 95
