adjusted in the area Auto Fade Time (s): by clicking on it and adjusting the desired fading time with the data wheel.
Confirm your entry with [Enter/Yes]. Furthermore the fade time can be set permanently in the setup. Therefor select
Setup > Player > Fade time from the main screen and set the fader in the right area of the screen to the desired fade
time. From now on the fade time will be set automatically in the D.J. module but can be changed there at any time if
necessary.
Via the functions menu or the [Func] key you can define one of the two players as master. This has effect on the MIDI
files in a way that the player which isn´t master syncs its tempo to the master.
In the following you find important hints for the use of the D.J. function. Obeying these hints is the
precondition for untroubled playback results.
By recalling the D.J. function a complete second playback unit (player) will be activated in the Multistation. Both
player units naturally have to share the available system resources of the Multistation. The first limit is set by the main
processor´s performance which (like a computer processor) can´t be expanded at pleasure.
The Multistation can playback up to eight audio tracks. This means that also in the D.J. area the total of eight mono or
4 stereo tracks in both of the songs to mix can´t be exceeded. Therefore it´s not possible to crossfade two audio songs
consisting of 8 audio tracks each.
Another limit is set by the internal SoundFont-Wavetable-Synthesizer under certain circumstances. Because every sin-
gle synthesizer voice of the Multistation has to be computed by the processor a performance notch may occur, when a
reasonable number of voices have to be computed simultaneously and an additional multitude of MP3 audio tracks are
to be played at the same time.
But you won´t face a problem at all when you want to crossfade pure MIDI songs even if you use the internal synthesi-
zer module as well. Evenly uncritical naturally is the use of external MIDI soundmodules as playback units. In this
case you can playback up to 8 MP3 files simultaneously without any problems.
Hint for the mixing of MIDI songs:
For volume change when crossfading expression commands following the MIDI standard (control change number 11)
will be sent to the sound modules. To avoid negative effects onto the playback, in the D.J. mode all existing expression
commands will be filtered out automatically.
Because of limitations in the MIDI standard it´s not possible to crossfade two songs using only one sound module as a
playback unit. Mixing two pure MIDI songs therefore requires at least two (possibly alike) MIDI sound modules. If
