You can call up a Setup from an external controller or a sequencer, by sending a bank controller and program change message on a specified channel. This would most typically be done in a performance situation where you need to automate calling up Setups.<\/p>\n
1. First you need to choose a MIDI channel you will use to send the bank and program change messages. A good rule of thumb is to dedicate a specific channel for this function and not use that channel for sending any other MIDI info. Press the Global button, and then press the >> button 5 times to get to Setup Chg Chan. Set this to the channel you have chosen.<\/p>\n
2. Press the MIDI Setups button. At this point, sending bank and program change messages from your external controller on the specified channel will call up the appropriate Setup.<\/p>\n
There are a couple of things to be aware of.:<\/p>\n
First, of all, MIDI Setups are displayed starting numbering at 1 instead of 0. Because of this, there will be an offset of 1 in response to the standard program changes of 0-127. To call up Setup number 1, send program change 0, to call up Setup number 2, send program change 1.<\/p>\n
Second, although the User Setups start numbering at 129, MIDI only has 128 values (0-127). So the User Setups are actually in another bank. Sending the bank controller (controller #32) with a value of 1 followed by program change 0 will call up Setup 129, controller #32 with a value of 1 followed by program change 1 will call up Setup 130 etc. If you need to quickly know which program change number to send when calling up a User Setup, simply subtract 129 from the Setup number and you will know the correct value for the program change message.<\/p>\n
If no bank controller is sent, the PC2 will always revert to the first bank (the preset Setups). If you ARE sending the bank controller and want to get to a preset Setup, you would send controller #32 with a value of 0.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","categories":[],"tags":[],"storecat":[],"itemids":[27096],"manufacturers":[33482],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\t\n
