User Defined MIDI Controllers
The [SOLO] buttons, [ON] buttons, and faders of channels 1 through 16 and Master
can be used as MIDI controllers for remote MIDI device control. A MIDI data string
up to 16 bytes long can be assigned to each control, and assignments are active only
when REMOTE page 3 is displayed. Select another page and these controls perform
their regular functions. Four assignment sets can be stored in banks 1 through 4.
1. Use the [REMOTE] button to locate REMOTE page 3, as shown below.
While this page is displayed, the [SOLO] and [ON] buttons and faders on channels 1
through 16 and Master transmit the assigned MIDI data when operated. Other controls
are disabled.
2. Use the [SEL] buttons to select channels 1 through 16 or Master, and the
cursor buttons and [ENTER] button to select the SOLO, ON, and FADER
switches.
Controls can also be selected simply by operating them. For example, operating chan-
nel fader 5 automatically selects it. The switch of the selected control appears high-
lighted. The Master channel does not feature a [SOLO] button.
3. Use the cursor buttons to select the DATA parameters, and the PARAM-
ETER wheel or [–1/DEC] and [+1/INC] buttons to set them.
The following hexadecimal DATA values can be set.
Hex: 00–FF
SW: [SOLO] and [ON] buttons (7F for ON, 00 for OFF)
FAD: Faders (00–7F)
END: Completes the command
4. Use the cursor buttons to select the BANK switches, and then press the
[ENTER] button to activate the selected bank.
The switch of the active bank appears highlighted.
In UNLATCH mode, the [SOLO] and [ON] buttons function as momentary switches,
and the specified data is transmitted when they’re pressed and then released. SW is
transmitted as 7F when buttons are pressed, and 00 when they’re released.
In LATCH mode, the [SOLO] and [ON] buttons function as latching switches (i.e., they
remain on when pressed), and the specified data is transmitted only when they’re
pressed. SW is transmitted as 7F when buttons are pressed, and 00 is transmitted when
the buttons are pressed again.
When a Control Change message is received while REMOTE page 3 is displayed, its
value appears in the DATA boxes, making it easy to determine which Control Change
is being transmitted when, say, the slider of an external MIDI controller is operated.
Custom assignments are stored when other banks are selected, and banks can be stored
using MIDI Bulk Dump. See “Bulk Dump” on page 232 for more information.
