Connecting a PRO DJ LINK compatible Pioneer DJ player （CDJ-2000NXS2/CDJ-2000NXS, etc.) and this unit with a LAN cable to playback music exported from rekordbox on DJ systems, and perform in step with beats and bars of the music. To use this function, select your model name from the “[Software & Firmware Update Information] (http://www.pioneerdj.com/en/support/software/ "")” page, download the latest firmware, and apply the update.

It is possible to access the internal flash memory of this unit to export or import sample sound source files and project files. Furthermore, performances can be synchronized with a DAW or other application using MIDI signals.

(1) The sample sound source files on a computer can be copied to this unit. (USB mass storage function)
(2) Sample sound source files and project files in this unit can be copied to a computer. (USB mass storage function)
(3) MIDI signals can be output from MIDI compatible music software on a computer to perform with or operate this unit. (MIDI interface function)
(4) MIDI signals can be output from this unit to operate MIDI compatible music software on a computer. (MIDI interface function)
(5) Import and export of project files by using DJS-TSP Project Creator.

There are three ways to take the SP-16's sound into your DAW.
(1) Connect analog audio cables and record the audio stream on the DAW.
(2) Use the RENDER AUDIO function and you can render your work as audio files to the internal flash memory or an external USB thumb drive then you can read them on your DAW. In this case, you cannot apply analog filter effects.
(3) Use the SAMPLING/EDIT function or the LIVE SAMPLING function and select the SOURCE to "RSMPL" (means RESAMPLE) then you can record the audio stream from master out terminal internally. After that access TORAIZ/Samples/Saved folder from your computer, finally you will see the recorded audio file (it depends on the place of current project file whether internal memory or external thumb drive). In this case, you can apply analog filter effect but the recording length will be limited to 64 seconds.

Additionally, if you wish to synchronize a DAW with the sequencer on this unit, select “Pioneer DJ TSP-16” in the MIDI clock destination on the DAW side, and “USB MIDI” in the SYNC settings in the utilities on this unit.

This unit is not equipped with an audio interface function.

MIDI timing clock synchronization is possible.
For the setting procedure for the DAW software, refer to operating instructions of the DAW software.

The MIDI standard is a generic standard so lots of DAW software including the Ableton Live series and Apple Logic support MIDI clock synchronization. Please contact DAW software makers for details.

When the volume lowers
Lower the RESONANCE knob level. The circuit is constructed so that for large adjustments to resonance values, only the frequencies close to the cutoff are amplified, and sounds from other frequency bands cancel each other out. To prevent the volume of specific frequencies from becoming too loud, adjust the overall volume balance.

When the volme increases
Lower the DRIVE knob level. It is adjusted that when the drive value is large, the volume sent to the analog circuit is high.

The QUANTIZE function only operates when the sequencer is playing. It does not operate when the sequencer is stopped.

When the ARRANGEMENT button on the ARRANGER screen is ON, priority is given to ARRANGEMENT playback. To playback scenes and patterns with manual changes, set the ARRANGEMENT button to OFF.

You can use the SHIFT button and the pad to stop playback of the track sample. This is convenient for plugging loop sources, etc. in and out in real time.

SOLO function is not supported on this unit, but when the [MUTE] button is ON, pressing SHIFT and the pad simultaneously mutes all tracks other than the one, producing the same effect as a SOLO function.

Press SHIFT and move the parameter adjustment knob to make fine adjustments to parameter values.

When time stretch is set to M.TMP (Master Tempo), the pitch parameter change range is limited to ±12 semitones. Turning time stretch OFF allows pitch parameters to be changed by ±24 semitones.

The touch strip effect is only applied to the track that is pressed on the pad. This is not applied to playback sound from the sequencer.

Press the SHIFT button while entering letters on the software keyboard to enter capital letters.

Press SHIFT and the pattern button to place the unit in pattern length setting state. In this state, pressing the 16 step keys changes the step length. Pattern step length can be changed in single-step units with a range of 8 to 64 steps. These changes affect all tracks. Step length cannot be changed for individual tracks.

Pressing the EDIT button on the HOME>TRACK MENU>SAMPLING/EDIT screen changes the settings. To reflect these setting values, it is necessary to save sample source files under a different name.

When using this unit with the TORAIZ AS-1, the MIDI cable connection goes from the MIDI OUT/THRU terminal to the MIDI IN terminal of the TORAIZ AS-1. Therefore, this unit cannot receive information from AS-1 via midi.
As for MIDI CC signal, it will transmit from this unit when the ACTIVE button is tapped or CC parameters were changed. If you control a same parameter from both units, the parameter recieved later will be registered.

Please check the following points.
-Enter HOME > TRACK MENU > SAMPLING/EDIT and tap "EDIT" button. When the BAR length or BPM value is wrong, please correct it. Then tap "SAVE CHANGES" button and tap "SAVE&REPLACE" button.
-In the case of "M.TMP" on the TIME STRETCH paramteter, you cannot stretch the sample less than half or more than twice speed. If you want to sync, please change the TIME STRETCH parameter to "RESAMPLE" or change the BPM value as above.
