USING DJ SOFTWARE

For DJS:
Control can be performed while viewing the center display’s
BROWSE, EFFECT, and MIX screens. For details of actual
operation, consult the chapter on “Manipulator Style”
operation of the SEP-C1 DJS Control Guide (PDF file on
accessory CD-ROM).

USING MIDI FOR COMPUTER CONTROL

MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a standardized
protocol used to govern data transmission between electronic
musical instruments and computers.
The SEP-C1 uses the MIDI message format to output its operating
data and status to a computer connected by USB cable. By using
a DJ software program with USB MIDI support to assign the MIDI
messages output by the SEP-C1, the SEP-C1 can be used to
control the DJ software.
For more information regarding messages output by the SEP-C1,
consult the section “MIDI MESSAGE TABLE” (P. 23).
