To use the DJ-70/DJ-70MKII as a controller with an external MIDI sequencer, you will need to create a Performance whose Patches are assigned to separate MIDI channels. We want to create a setup in which the DJ-70/DJ-70MKII operates like a controller and a sound module, which is a little different than the RPS sequencer operates. Create or load a Performance that contains all of the Patches you wish to use in your sequence and use the following steps to setup that Performance for use with an external sequencer:

1. Press PERFORM. Use the CURSOR buttons to highlight PLAY and press S1 to access the "Play Page" display.
2. Use the CURSOR buttons and VALUE dial to select " --------Off-------" for Part 1.
3. Press F2 to access Play Page 2 (this will be displayed at the top of the screen).
4. Use the CURSOR buttons to highlight the parameter under "KB" and use the VALUE dial to select ON for Part 1.
5. Use the DOWN CURSOR button to highlight the "KB" parameter for Part 2 and use the VALUE dial to select "-." Repeat this procedure for Parts 3-31.
6. Press F2 to access Play Page 3 (this will be displayed at the top of the screen). "CH" will be displayed on the right side of the screen. This is the MIDI channel setting for each Patch. The default setting for each Patch is BS (Basic Channel).
7. Use the CURSOR buttons to highlight BS for Part 2 and use the VALUE dial to select MIDI channel 1.
8. Use the CURSOR buttons and VALUE dial to select the desired MIDI channels for each of the remaining Parts (3-31) that you are going to use (Use the F3, F4, and F5 buttons to select Parts 9-31). Set the MIDI channel for any unused Parts to "-."
9. Use the CURSOR buttons and VALUE dial to select MIDI channel 1 for Part 1.
10. Make sure that the sequencer you are using has its MIDI thru (echo) function enabled. You should be able to hear the Patch assigned to Part 2 (MIDI channel 1). The MIDI channel setting for Part 1 determines which Patch you will hear. For example, if you had set Part 3 to MIDI channel 2 you would need to set the Part 1 MIDI channel to 2 in order to hear the Patch assigned to Part 3.*
11. To record, set the MIDI channel for Part 1 to the same channel as the Part you wish to record and start recording on your sequencer. The sequencer will then playback each track as you recorded it.
*NOTE: Some sequencers have a function referred to as "auto channelize." This function allows you to receive MIDI data on any channel and redirect it to the desired MIDI channel within the sequencer itself. In this case you will not need to change the MIDI channel for Part 1 on the DJ-70/DJ-70MKII (as in step #11 above) in order to hear the various Parts. You will need to select the desired MIDI channel within the sequencing software. This feature is very common amongst computer based sequencing programs.
