X32 MIDI Implementation
MIDI RX > SCENES
Whenever program change messages in the range 1-100 are received on MIDI
CH01, the corresponding scene of the X32 internal show memory will be loaded.
This requires the following preconditions:
• Setup / remote
> MIDI In/Out check marks must be set according to the connection on
which MIDI input will be accepted (via physical MIDI connectors on X32 or
S16, or via XUF Card)
> MIDI In/Out check mark must be set for “Enable MIDI Scene Recall”
• Setup / global
> when tick mark “Conrm Pop-Ups” / “Scene Load” is active, also MIDI
scene recalls will only become active after manual conrmation
> if you prefer activating scenes via MIDI program changes immediately,
un-check the “Conrm Pop-Ups” / “Scene Load” tick mark
• Scenes View / home
> valid scenes must be stored in the internal X32 show le. It is not possible
to recall empty scenes.
> the scope of changes applied by a MIDI scene recall depends on the Scene
Safes, Parameter Safes and Channel Safes settings, same as with recalling
the scene locally.
MIDI TX > SCENES
Every scene can be assigned one specic MIDI command/event. Each time the
scene is loaded the MIDI command will be sent out once. Possible choices for MIDI
commands/events to be found on Scenes View/MIDI page:
• O > no message will be sent upon scene load
• Program Change > select the MIDI Channel and the Program Number
(using knobs 4/5 at the main display)
• Control Change > select the MIDI Channel, Controller number and value
(using knobs 4-6 at the main display)
• Note > select the MIDI Channel, Note number and velocity (using knobs 4-6
at the main display) > will send out a Note On command directly followed by
the same Note O command
MIDI RX > ASSIGN
Whenever assignable controls are set up for transmitting MIDI commands,
reception of that same command (status or continuous) will be reected on the
respective assignable control element (button light, encoder LED collar).
MIDI TX > ASSIGN
We restricted the user assignable MIDI commands to some generic elements,
in order to keep things simple enough:
• Encoders 1-4 > can be assigned to sending control changes, program
changes or notes
> parameters are currently ‘Channel’ and ‘Value’
> for CC and Note commands ‘Value’ = controller number/note number,
and the encoder rotation determines the controller value/note-on velocity
> for Program Changes only the channel is specied, and the encoder
rotation determines the program number
• Buttons 5-12 > can be operated in two modes, ‘MIDI Push’ (non-latching)
for momentary commands, or ‘MIDI Toggle’ (latching) for static commands
MIDI Push:
> can be assigned to sending control changes, program changes or notes
> parameters are currently ‘Channel’ and ‘Value’
> for CC and Note commands ‘Value’ 0…127 = controller number/note
number, and the button momentarily toggles the controller value/note-on
velocity to 127 (depressed)à0 (released]
> for Program Changes ‘Value’ 0…127 = program/preset number, that will
be sent upon pressing the button
MIDI Toggle:
> can be assigned to sending control changes or notes
> parameters are currently ‘Channel’ and ‘Value’
> for CC and Note commands ‘Value’ 0…127 = controller number/note
number, and the button toggles the controller value/note-on velocity
between value/velocity 127 and 0 with every operation
• n.b.1) The ASSIGN section also reects/displays reception of the same MIDI
commands that are selected for transmission
• n.b.2) The MIDI commands assigned to the ASSIGN controls can be
transferred to and from stage via AES50 using the S16 stage box MIDI I/O
