Part 5: MIDI

TRANSMITTING MIDI VOLUME AND PANNING

Each Channel in a Mix can transmit its volume and panning settings via MIDI. For each channel on which you wish to transmit this data, MIDI Out must be set to ON and MIDI Input and Keyboard must be set to OFF (as explained in the KEYBOARD/MIDI section on page 102). Also, the Keyboard mode must be NORMAL and the MIDI Program Select parameter must be set to ON (Global Edit Mode, Pages 6 and 14).

If a channel is set up this way:

•whenever a Mix is recalled (via the front panel or via MIDI), volume and panning information will be transmitted for that Channel;

•whenever that Channel’s “Level” parameter is edited, volume information will be transmitted as Controller #7 on that Channel;

•whenever that Channel’s “Pan” parameter is edited, panning information will be transmitted as controller #10 on that Channel. However, panning information will not be sent if the Channel's "Pan" parameter is set to PROG.

The seven pan positions in a Mix send the following controller #10 values:

Mix Pan value		CC#10 value
3>	127
2>	107
1>	85
<>	64
<1	43
<2	21
<3	0

Conversely, if you want to change the panning of a QS Program via MIDI, here is what you'll get if you transmit a given controller #10 value:

CC#10 value		Mix Pan value	Placement
0-20		<3	(hard left)
21-42		<2	(mid left)
43-63		<1	(soft left)
64-84		<>	(center)
85	-106	1>	(soft right)
107	-126	2>	(mid right)
	127	3>	(hard
			right)
