I would like to play notes on LSDj using LSDjMC2.

I get midi led flashing on the syncbox but it's not working right on the LSDj. Only sound i have gotten is in midi mode. And there the sequencer goes randomly forward when i press notes. That must not be right.

Syncing to clock on slave mode works fine.

Has someone actually done it and would like to help me?

I have. Many years ago. It works in the same way as with the lsdj keyboard. (I think)

lsdjmc2 manual wrote:

Full-Midi (indicated with the full-led)
This mode is only for LSDJ-Versions higher/later than V3.0.3!!
In this mode you can play the LSDJ with any midi-keyboard or sequencer.
You can play notes from C-3 to B-7 which are 5 octaves in total. To play notes, all
16 midi-channels are supported which you can select with the midi-learn* function.
In Full-Midi Mode you can change the Instrument of the LSDJ in 3 different ways:
A. With the standard 'program-change' midi-command.
B. With the Pitch-Bend Wheel. Pitch Bend up increases the instrument and pitch-bend down
decreases the instrument.
C. With the Plus/Minus buttons for increasing and decreasing.
They are 32 instruments supported ( LSDJ-Instruments 00 - 20 ).
Another function is to change the play-mode. That means if you want only to play
monophonic( PULSE-Channel 1 or WAVE channel),
polyphonic ( PULSE-Channel 1 and PULSE-Channel 2)
or both PULSE-Channels parallel monophonic.
You have 2 possibillities to change these modes:
A. With the Midi-Controller 70
Controller 70 Value 0 = monophonic ( PULSE-Channel 1 or WAVE-Channel)
Controller 70 Value 1 = polyphonic ( PULSE-Channel 1 and PULSE-Channel 2)
Controller 70 Value 2 = monophonic both PULSE-Channels parallel
B. With the Modulation Wheel
MOD-Wheel 0% = monophonic ( PULSE-Channel 1 or WAVE-Channel)
MOD-Wheel 50% = polyphonic ( PULSE-Channel 1 and PULSE-Channel 2)
MOD-Wheel 100% = monophonic both PULSE-Channels parallel
For the Full-Midi LSDJ mode you should use your LSDJ with the following settings:
Keyboard mode.
Tempo = higher than 200 gives the best results.
Groove set to 1/1
Create a new empty Chain and there create a new empty Phrase.
Choose the same Chain in Song mode for Channel PU1, PU2, WAV and NOI. 3
Could look like this then in Song Mode:
PU1 PU2 WAV NOI
00 1A 1A 1A 1A (1A can be every empty Chain like 00, 20, 3F..)
Then press start that the sequencer starts.
From now on you should be able to play the notes and use all the Midi-Functions.
You get nice 'flanger'-like results if you use 'monophonic both PULSE-Channels parallel' and
change the fine tune of the instrument.
