Browser list : Turn the rotary selector (d) to your desired selection. Press the selector to choose the selection.
• When you use such functions as scratch and pitch bend, the sound volume and play speed increments will be
different from when run on a standalone CDJ-850.
• The operation of Multi Player LED indicators (ON, OFF) and the contents of the main unit’s console display are
not linked with the MIDI control.
• You can change the assignment of any Multi Player button to a corresponding TRAKTOR PRO/PRO 2 function
by modifying the mapping. For details, refer to the TRAKTOR PRO/PRO 2 instruction manual.
• If other Pioneer CDJ player models or other products are connected to a computer with a USB cable to be
used together with the CDJ-850, the MIDI channel for these other models should be set to Channel 5 or higher
because the MIDI mapping file uses MIDI channels 1 – 4. For details on how to configure the MIDI channels,
see the instruction manual for the respective model.
