Using control changes to control parameters Using control changes to control parameters You can use MIDI control change messages to control specified events (fader/encoder operations, [ON] key on/off operations etc.) on the LS9. This capability can be used to record fader and key operations on a MIDI sequencer or other external device, and play back this data later. You can use control changes to control events in either of the following two ways. ● Using control changes This method uses typical control changes (control numbers 1-31, 33-95, 102-119). You can freely assign an event to each control number. ● Using NRPN (Non Registered Parameter Number) This method uses a special type of control change messages called NRPN. NRPN uses control change numbers 62 and 63 to specify the MSB (Most Significant Byte) and LSB (Least Significant Byte) of the parameter number, and subsequently-transmitted control change messages of control change number 6 (or 6 and 26) to specify the value of that parameter. The event assigned to each combination of MSB and LSB is pre-defined, and cannot be changed. HINT • For details on the events assigned to NRPN messages, refer to the appendix (→ p. 253). 1 Connect the LS9 to your external device. 2 In the DISPLAY ACCESS section, press the [SETUP] key repeatedly to access the MISC SETUP screen. 3 Move the cursor to the MIDI SETUP popup button, and press the [ENTER] key to access the MIDI SETUP popup window. 4 As described in "Basic MIDI settings" (→ p. 178), select the ports and MIDI channels that will be used to transmit/receive control changes. 5 When you've finished making settings, move the cursor to the CLOSE button and press the [ENTER] key to close the popup window. You will return to the MISC SETUP screen. 6 Move the cursor to the CONTROL CHANGE popup button, and press the [ENTER] key to access the CONTROL CHANGE popup window. In the CONTROL CHANGE popup window you can specify how control changes will be transmitted and received, and assign the event (fader/encoder operation, [ON] key on/off operation, etc.) assigned to each control number. This page includes the following items. 1 2 3 18 4 5 MIDI 1 CONTROL CHANGE field Here you can switch control change transmission/ reception on/off, and specify whether control changes will be echoed out.
