MIDI FUNCTIONS
MIDI Terminals
In order to exchange MIDI data between multiple devices,
each device must be connected by a cable.
The MIDI terminals of the DJX are located on the rear
panel.
MIDI IN
........... Receives MIDI data from another MIDI device.
MIDI OUT
....... Transmits the DJX’s keyboard information as MIDI
data to another MIDI device.
• Special MIDI cables (sold sepa-
rately) must be used for connecting
to MIDI devices. They can be
bought at music stores, etc.
• Never use MIDI cables longer than
about 15 meters. Cables longer
than this can pick up noise which
can cause data errors.
