CONNECTING SEVERAL RMP-4 PLAYERS
If you would like to connect several RMP-4 players (e.g. in order to control DJ software) the following possibilities are suggestive:
• Two RMP-4 in use with TRAKTOR PRO 2
The RMP-4 mapping for TRAKTOR PRO is layed out for channel 1 - 4 (Channel 1 = Deck A, Channel 2 = Deck B, Channel 3 = Deck C, Channel 4 =
Deck D). When using two players you should adjust player 1 via the Reverse/Deck Switch Button to „DeckA CH1“ for Deck A. For Deck B the player
should be switched to DeckB CH2. This way the left player 1 controls Deck A and the right player 2 controls Deck B. It is suggestive to assign a
hardware ID to each player which can be adjusted in the submenu under B > MIDI Set > Name.
NOTE!
Via the Shift Button -46- you can control many functions for deck C on channel 1 and for deck D on channel 2.
• Connecting Several RMP-4 Players
When using several RMP-4 players in order to control a software it is possible to
a) under J > MIDI Set > Name to assign a hardware ID to single players
b) under K > MIDI Channel to assign a channel preset to the single players (altogether 4 presets, 4 channels each).
SUBMENU

you will enter the corresponding submenu.
