Performance Song/Pattern File Utility Remote Remote mode In the Remote mode, you can remote-control DAW software or VSTi (software instruments). The DAW software which is compatible with the MX49/MX61 is Cubase, Logic Pro, SONAR and Digital Performer. Also, the MX49/MX61 features 50 Control Templates for remote-control of many popular VSTi's. These Control Templates let you assign the appropriate functions for your favorite VSTi to Knobs [A] - [D] on the MX49/MX61. In the Remote display, you can indicate the functions assigned to Knobs [A] - [D] for the selected Control Template, change the value of the functions, switch the Control Template, and so on. This section explains parameters shown in the Remote display and functions available for editing. Remote mode Remote display Switching the functions for Knobs [A] - [D] Switching the Control Template Utility settings Operation Press [DAW REMOTE] NOTE If you wish to exit the Remote mode, press [DAW REMOTE] again. NOTE The DAW software to be controlled can be set in the Utility Remote display (page 68). NOTE For information of the DAW software version which is compatible with the MX49/MX61, refer to the "Specifications" of the Owner's Manual. Remote display Indicates the basic functions assigned to Knobs [A] - [D]. Knob [A] Knob [B]   j QC1 Cuto**j*QC2 Reso 2 j QC3 Bit***jQC4 Sub Knob [C] Knob [D]  Knob indicator Indicates the current values of the parameters assigned to Knobs [A] - [D] as graphic icons. If a current value is different from a Knob indication, the Knob indicator is highlighted. When an indicator is highlighted, moving the Knob does not affect the value. Once you move the Knob past the current value, moving the Knob affects the value, and the Knob indication will correspond with the current value.  Parameter name Indicates the functions assigned to Knobs [A] - [D]. When moving a Knob, the value of the assigned function is shown in the display, then returns to the previous display after a specified time has elapsed. Also, by setting [PART 1-2 LINK] to on, you can have the parameter value always be shown in the display. Setting [PART 1- 2 LINK] to off allows automatic return to the previous display. The functions assigned to the Knobs differ depending on the "Remote" setting or "CC" setting. This setting can be determined in the MX49/MX61 Remote Editor. When setting the MX49/MX61 to "Remote" (only Cubase) The VSTi parameters of Cubase are assigned to Knobs [A] - [D], and the first eight characters of the parameters are shown in the display. To scroll through parameter names having more than eight characters, hold down [SHIFT] and press [DAW REMOTE]. Moving a Knob transmits the MIDI message to Port 2, then the parameter assigned to the Knob will be changed on the VSTi of Cubase. In this case, the parameter value is shown on the MX49/MX61 display for a specified time. When setting the MX49/MX61 to "CC" Indicates the Control Change number to be controlled by Knobs [A] - [D]. Moving a Knob transmits the Control Change message to Port 2, and the function of the VSTi will be controlled on the DAW software. NOTE If "DAW Select" (page 68) is set to other than "Cubase," or "MIDI IN/OUT" (page 65) is set to "MIDI," the MX49/MX61 is fixed to the "CC" setting. MX49/MX61 Reference Manual 70
