that Serato/CDJ 400 looks so good!

The DJM700 can send MIDI commands out to a light controller who then in turn converts it into DMX commands. This means that if you're not using some buttons/sliders on your mixer you can assign them to control lights if you want.
Keep an eye on my youtube channel, I will post a video this weekend on MIDI and how to do the same thing without using a light controller but the uDMX cable instead.

Its a nice feature with the ability to connect the CDJ-400 to Scratch Live via Usb, the only thing that annoys me is the fact that i still need to buy the Rane Soundcard. Expensive, and no Midi...

u got sum good videos

as brian is saying, the DJM 700 and 800 can act as midi controllers but any of their buttons and knobs continue to perform their regular function at the same time.
For example, if you map something to a channel fader, sliding this fader will affect the sound of the channel AND whatever you want it to control AT THE SAME TIME.
So basically, mixers are not very good midi controllers but could help for simple stuff.

that serato(?) system looks immense! i need to get me one of those...

It'll do lights and sound at the same time
-
I think it's actually 8 channels, but you get 4 faders at a time. Each fader is switchable for 2 different channels (Ex: Fader 1 controls channels 1 & 2, Fader 2 controls channels 3 & 4, etc)
As far as how it works, yeah, you can do music and lights at the same time. The particulars are still not very clear to me as I have not looked into it that close, but you get the idea.

MIDI is an acronym for musical instrument digital interface. Nice vid brian. keep up the good work!

so to make sure i understood ! djm 700 4 chanels right? ok then if u are mixin 2 tracks ll take channel 1 and 2 as an example can u assign 3 and 4 to the built in midi to control light? cuz m not using triggers on 3 and 4..
ll be waitin for ur vids!
That guy was funny. He totally didn't get your joke. Probably burnt out from the show. Great informative vid. one question though, If you connect your cdj 400's this way do you get your effects back since there is no time code cd?
