MIDI and utility functions E ALL INIT button Resets all MIDI messages assigned to the faders/ [TRACK SEL] keys to the initial settings. To initialize, move the cursor to this button and press the [ENTER] key. F FADER button If you turn this button on, the MIDI message assigned to the fader of the currently selected channel will be displayed. This button will automatically be turned on when you operate the fader of a track channel. G SEL SW button If you turn this button on, the MIDI message assigned to the [TRACK SEL] key of the currently selected channel will be displayed. This button will automatically be turned on when you operate the [TRACK SEL] key of a track channel. H LATCH/UNLATCH button Selects how the [TRACK SEL] key of a track channel will operate when pressed. LATCH The setting will alternate on/off each time you press the [TRACK SEL] key. MIDI data transmitted (SW=7F) MIDI data transmitted (SW=00) off on off UNLATCH The setting will be on while you hold down the [TRACK SEL] key, and will turn off when you release the key. MIDI data transmitted MIDI data transmitted (SW=7F) (SW=00) off on off I LEARN button When this button is on, the MIDI message received from the MIDI IN connector will be assigned to the currently selected fader or [TRACK SEL] key. This is a convenient way to assign MIDI messages quickly. Tip! • If two or more MIDI messages are received while the LEARN button is on, the last-received MIDI message will be input in the MIDI message field. • If a system exclusive message longer than sixteen bytes is received, the first sixteen bytes will be displayed. J MIDI message This area displays (in hexadecimal form) the MIDI message that is assigned to the currently selected fader or [TRACK SEL] key. You can move the cursor to each numeric box and turn the [DATA/JOG] dial to edit the value of each byte (two-digital hexadecimal number). You can select the following values. 00-FF (hexadecimal) ..Corresponds to the actual value of the MIDI message that is transmitted. END Indicates the end of the MIDI message. When you operate a fader or [TRACK SEL] key, the MIDI message starting with the first byte and ending with the byte that precedes END will be transmitted. SW ([TRACK SEL] key only Indicates the on/off status of the [TRACK SEL] key. The byte you specify as SW will be transmitted as 7F (hexadecimal) when the key is turned on, or 00 (hexadecimal) when the key is turned off. FAD Indicates the current position of the fader. If the message is assigned to a fader, the byte you specify as FAD will be transmitted as a value of 00-7F (hexadecimal) corresponding to the fader position when you operate the fader. If the message is assigned to a [TRACK SEL] key, this byte will be transmitted as a value corresponding to the current position of the fader when the [TRACK SEL] key is turned on, and will be transmitted as a value of 00 (hexadecimal) when the [TRACK SEL] key is turned off. Tip! • The MIDI message assigned to a single fader or key cannot be longer than sixteen bytes. • If a SW byte is not assigned to a [TRACK SEL] key, the MIDI message you input will be transmitted only when you turn the key on. (In this case you will normally use the UNLATCH setting.) • When you use the LEARN button to assign a control change to a fader, the END byte will automatically be input at the end of the MIDI message. • When you use the LEARN button to assign a control change to a fader, the FAD byte will be automatically input as the variable value. Note • If you assign a MIDI message manually, be sure to input END at the end of the MIDI message. • When you assign a MIDI message to a fader, FAD must be input for one of the bytes. If FAD is not input, operating the fader will not do anything. • If you input the values manually, it is possible that an invalid MIDI message will be input. For this reason, you should use the 9 LEARN button to assign MIDI mes- sages whenever possible. 158
