Utilities
The Mute Controller has a number of parameters that the user can change. A Utility Mode is provided for accessing these settings.The following is a current list of para- meters, along with their default and other possible settings.The default setting is shown UNDERLINED. An explanation follows on how to review or change the dif- ferent settings.
Display | Meaning | Settings |
uP | Micro Processor | ON or OFF |
Determines whether the Mute System is ON or OFF.When OFF, the entire Mute Scene system is disabled, only the Local mutes will operate.This setting can be used if "Traditional" console operation is desired (i.e. No programmed scenes are want- ed).
M Ch MIDI Channel01 to 16
Sets the MIDI channel that the Controller uses to communicate to the MIDI world.
The Mute Controller can send and receive MIDI Program changes, MIDI dumps etc.
It does so on this channel.
LockEdit LockOFF or ON
If set to ON, prevents any changes to be made to any Mute Scene. If Edit Preview is pressed when LOCK is ON, "Lock" is displayed and the system will not enter Edit Mode.
Dmp? MIDI Dump
When activated, the contents of all the Mute Scenes are transmitted via the MIDI Out jack using SysEx protocol. A librarian or archiving MIDI program can be used to store the Mute settings externally. Note: Loading of external data via SysEx com- mand is always active.
BaseMIDI Base01 or 00
There are 128 possible MIDI numbers. Do you want to start counting at 01 and count up to 128, or start at 00 and count up to 127 ? Different MIDI devices do it either way.You get to choose.
ExtExternal CtrlOFF or ON
Normally, the Mute System uses its internal Mute Scenes to control the Console mutes. Alternately, MIDI Note Commands can be used to control the channel mutes directly.When Ext is ON, the Display(B) will show "Ext", and the normal Mute Scenes will be disabled.The Controller will now respond only to externally received Note On/Off commands (via MIDI In jack).
PgmProgram ChgON or OFF
The Mute Controller normally sends a MIDI Program change command every time the RECALL (I) button is pressed, corresponding to the Patch number shown in the Display. Also, if a MIDI Pgm Chg is received, the Controller will respond by recalling the Patch Mute matching that Pgm Chng. Setting Pgm to OFF disables the sending and receiving of MIDI Pgm Changes.
