MIDI FUNCTIONS

When the operation is completed, the following display briefly ap-

pears (before returning to the original operation).

The most common use for the Initial Setup Send function is in recording a

song on a sequencer that is intended for playback with the DJX.  Essentially,

this takes a “snapshot” of the DJX settings and sends that data to the

sequencer.  By recording this “snapshot” at the start of the song (before

any actual performance data), you can instantly restore the necessary

settings on the DJX.  Provided there is a pause in the song, you could also

do this in the middle of a song — for example, completely changing the

DJX settings for the next section of the song.

Sending Initial Setup Data

1

First, set up the sequencer for recording.

The actual procedure may differ depending on your particular equip-

ment and software.

Ideally, you should leave two or more measures of silence (no perfor-

mance data) before the song begins.  The Initial Setup data should

then be recorded to this space in the song.

On the DJX, select the Initial Setup Send func-

tion.

Do this in the normal way:

1) Press the FUNCTION button.

2) Select parameter #87 (with the numeric keypad).
