Using parameter changes to control parameters Using parameter changes to control parameters On the M7CL, you can use a type of system exclusive messages called "parameter changes" to control specific events (fader/encoder operations, [ON] key on/off operations, etc.) as an alternative to using control changes or NRPN messages. For details on the parameter changes that can be transmitted and received, refer to "MIDI data format" in the appendix. 1 Connect the M7CL to your external device. 2 In the function access area, press the SETUP button to access the SETUP screen. 3 In the center of the screen, press the MIDI button to access the MIDI popup window. 4 Press the MIDI SETUP tab to access the MIDI SETUP page, and select the port and MIDI channel on which parameter changes will be transmitted and received, as described in "Basic MIDI settings" (→ p. 182). NOTE • Parameter changes include a "device number" that specifies the transmitting or receiving device. The transmit (Tx) channel and receive (Rx) channel specified in the MIDI SETUP page are used as the device number. • Please be aware that if the device number included in the transmitted parameter change does not match the device number of the receiving M7CL console, the message will be ignored. • If parameter change and control change transmission/reception are turned on at the same time, a large amount of data will flood the MIDI port and cause overflows or other problems, so you should avoid this. 5 Use the Tx button and Rx button of the PARAMETER CHANGE field to turn on parameter change transmission/reception. In this state when you operate specific parameters on the M7CL, the corresponding parameter change mes- sages will be transmitted. If valid parameter change 17 messages are transmitted from an external device, the parameters assigned to those parameter changes will be controlled. MIDI M7CL Owner's Manual 189
