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 transmit 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.
