4 – Control Surface Modes and Operation
22 TASCAM FW-1082 Owner’s Manual
Controller On/Off
• A controller value of 127 is transmitted when the
key is pushed, and a value of 0 is transmitted when
it is released. You can program the controller num-
ber.
Toggled Controller On/Off
• A controller value of 127 is transmitted when the
key is pushed. Nothing is transmitted when it is
released. When the key is pushed again, a value of
0 is transmitted; again, nothing is transmitted when
it is released. You can program the controller num-
ber.
Note On/Off
• A Note On message is transmitted when the key is
pushed, and a Note Off message is transmitted
when it is released. You can program the note num-
ber.
Selecting the MIDI controller or note Use
the up and down arrows of the
Controller indicator
box to change the MIDI controller number. Alterna-
tively, you can type in a MIDI controller number
from 0 through 127.
This field changes to
Note if the Note On/Off option
is selected. Select a MIDI note number or type one
in.
Programming Encoders
The four encoders can be reprogrammed. To display
the programmed message for an encoder, just turn it
slightly. The Control Panel shows something like
Figure 4.7:
Selecting the MIDI output(s) The FW-1082
has two physical MIDI outputs (
1 and 2) and two vir-
tual MIDI outputs which appear as MIDI sources in
your DAW, but have no physical port (
VP1 and VP2).
• Check or un-check the four
Port boxes to select or
de-select the corresponding MIDI outputs for the
encoder. MIDI messages generated by the encoder
that you are programming are sent to each port
whose box is checked. Uncheck all four ports to
make a key inactive.
Setting the MIDI channel All MIDI messages
from this encoder must be on the same channel.
• Use the up and down arrows of the
Channel indica-
tor box to change the MIDI channel or type in a
MIDI channel number from 1 through 16.
Selecting the MIDI controller Use the up and
down arrows of the
Controller indicator box to
change the MIDI controller number. Alternatively,
you can type in a MIDI controller number from 0
through 127.
Encoders send continuous controller messages only,
so the
Note On/Off and Toggled Controller
options on the FW-1082’s Control Panel are disabled.
