Bus

Applications for the MIDI Map include remote

transport control from MIDI applications that don’t

support MMC or the HUI protocol (but do allow

X

their own internal parameter mapping), surround

joystick control, or any continuous controller or

Digital

two-state switch application (lighting, remote

 

 

mixing, show controls, etc.) Any mapped control

 

information may be transmitted via manual adjust-

 

ment on the console, snapshot recall, and automa-

 

tion playback (which may include snapshot or other

 

Event track playback).

New MIDI Route

A route is made up of the following attributes:

•Selection: The first column (with no column heading) denotes the route number and selected route within the map list. The number is a simple identifier, as there is no sorting mecha- nism for the MIDI routes.

•MIDI Type: This choice offers the type of MIDI message. If the route is mapping a switch parameter with two value states, it will be as- signed as a Note message. If the parameter is continuously variable, the Controller or After- touch types may be used.

•Number: This assignment is in the range of

0-127 decimal values for the associated MIDI Type.

•Channel: This is the MIDI channel that is used for the selected route.

Note: Maps using Ch 1 will not function when DAW Emulation mode is enabled. If you are us- ing a DAW Emulation, use only channel 2-16 for MIDI routes.

•Route To/From: This assigns the MIDI route to a console channel strip, Aux master, Bus mas- ter, Group, MIDI channel (Groups bank), DAW channel (MIDI bank), or Left or Right Master.

The actual parameter within any chosen func- tion is assigned in the Parameter column.

•Parameter: Available choices follow whether switch or variable control is selected under MIDI Type.

•Mode: The Mode option is enabled when Note is selected as the MIDI Type. The two options available are Normal and Toggle. These refer to how the switch responds to received MIDI data and is therefore only relevant if the Direction is set to Receive.or Both.

In Normal mode, a Note On message engages the switch and a Note Off (or Note On with velocity of zero) disengages the switch.

In Toggle mode, alternating Note On messages engage and disengage the switch, while Note Off messages are ignored.

•Direction: The MIDI route is set to Receive, Send, or Both. Take care to avoid MIDI feed- back.

Open MIDI Map…

•Recalls a saved MIDI Map from disk. If a map is currently in place, it well be entirely overwrit- ten by the map from disk upon loading.

Save MIDI Map As…

•Saves the current MIDI Map to disk as a Map file, which is available for recall at a later date.

Delete MIDI Route

•Deletes the currently selected Route(s) within the list.

DAW Bank

Selecting DAW Bank under the Windows menu switches to the DAW Bank (MIDI). This bank allows you to control a number of DAW software applications with the Digital X Bus. Select the DAW application of your choice in the Emulation Mode drop-down box. The on-screen buttons and V-Pots map to the selected DAW application, simplifying your ability to work with the Digital X Bus and the DAW at the same time.

I/O Configuration (Ctrl+0)

The I/O Configuration window allows you to select the various cards you have installed in the card cage and customize their I/O configurations and other settings for your session.

When the I/O Configuration window opens, you see a graphical representation of all the cards installed in the card cage. Click a card to open the setup window for that card. Depending on the card, the options available will differ. Generally, for I/O cards, you can rename the inputs and outputs, as-
