The
MUTE CONTROLLER has a number of parameters that the user can

UTILITY mode is provided for accessing these settings.The fol-
lowing is a current list of parameters, along with their default and other
possible settings.
The default-setting is indicated in bold characters.
display meaning settings
uP micro processor ON or
OFF
Determines whether the MUTE SYSTEM is ON or OFF.When OFF, the entire
MUTE SCENE system is disabled,only the LOCAL MUTES will operate.This set-
ting can be used if traditional console operation is desired (i.e., no pro-
grammed scenes are desired).
M Ch midi channel 01–16
Sets the
MIDI channel that the controller uses to communicate to the MIDI
world.The
MUTE controller can send and receive
MIDI program changes,MIDI
dumps etc. It does so on the selected channel.
Lock edit lock
OFF or ON
If set to
ON, theis feature prevents changes from being made to any
MUTE
SCENE
. If EDIT PREVIEW is pressed when LOCK is ON, the word "Lock" is dis-
played and the system will not enter
EDIT mode.
Dmp? midi dump
When activated, the contents of all the mute scenes are transmitted via
the
MIDI OUT jack using SysEx protocol.A librarian or archiving MIDI pro-
gram can be used to store the
MUTE settings externally.
Base midi base 01 or 00
There are 128 possible
MIDI numbers.The X-Eight console can start count-
ing at 01 and count up to 128,or start at 00 and count up to 127.Different
MIDI devices do it either way—the choice is yours.
Ext external control
OFF or ON
Normally,the MUTE SYSTEM uses its internal MUTE SCENES to control the con-
sole mutes.Alternately,
MIDI note commands can be used to control the
channel mutes directly.When Ext is
ON, the DISPLAY B will indicate "Ext",
and the normal
MUTE SCENES will be disabled. The controller will now
respond only to externally-received note on/off commands (via
MIDI IN jack).
Pgm program change
ON or OFF
The MUTE CONTROLLER normally sends a MIDI program change command
every time the
RECALL I button is pressed, corresponding to the PATCH
number shown in the DISPLAY.Also,if a MIDI program change is received,the
controller will respond by recalling the
PATCH MUTE matching that program
change. Setting Pgm to
OFF disables the sending and receiving of MIDI pro-
gram changes.
Loading of external data
via SysEx command is
always active.
