Using MIDI

The MIDI Control menu is where all MIDI related control is changed. See page 20 for information about the MIDI Control menu.

MIDI Implementation

The PCM92 offers MIDI implementation for use with external MIDI hard- ware and software controllers. You can connect up to three PCM92 units to a single MIDI controller. You can also slave two or more PCM92 units together by connecting a cable from the MIDI Out port of the master to the MIDI In port of the slave. Additional PCM92 units can be slaved to the master by connecting a cable from the MIDI Thru port of one slave unit to the MIDI In port of the next unit.

The MIDI implementation for the PCM92 is very basic. The implementa- tion is fixed, but there is a user interface for modifying basic parts of it.

Nomenclature

Numbering in MIDI (channel number and program numbers, for example), can be confusing since some sources start counting from zero and others start from one. This description will start from zero.

How to load presets with MIDI

Because of the large number of potential presets in the PCM92, Preset Change messages are used along with the Bank Select extension to provide MIDI preset selection. Controller 32 is used to select the current preset bank. Controller 32 is sent to the system (to select the desired bank), fol- lowed by a Preset Change message to select a preset. The Bank values are “sticky,” meaning the PCM92 will remember the Bank values for each MIDI channel. It is not necessary to send a Bank change with each Preset Change unless the Bank has indeed changed.

See page 24 for a bank/preset map. To see a preset’s bank on the PCM92, press Knob C while viewing the Preset screen.

How to assign a Base Channel to the PCM92

The base channel identifies a PCM92 unit to a MIDI device. Add 1, 2, 3, or 4 to the unit’s base channel to identify virtual machines within the unit. You can connect up to three PCM92 units to a single MIDI device.

 

To assign a base channel to the PCM92:

 

1.

Press the Back button until the Preset screen appears.

 

2.

Press the Machine button until System View is displayed.

 

3.

Press the Select knob to enter the System Menu.

 

4.

Turn the Select knob until Midi Control is highlighted.

 

5.

Press the Select knob to access the Midi Control Menu.

 

6.

Turn the Select knob until Base Channel is highlighted.

 

7.

Turn Knob B to select the base channel (0-15).

 

8.

Turn the Select knob until Machine 1 is selected.

 

9.

Turn Knob B to select the channel for Machine 1 (0-15).

 

10.

Repeat steps 8-9 until you have selected channels for each virtual

 

 

machine.
