X-Rack Installation and Operation
4.4.2 MIDI (m1)
Under this menu it is possible to set the MIDI controls which can control parts of the X-Rack XR622 Master
module and also to save and load all internal stores to and from a MIDI sequencer or librarian as a SysEx
dump.
MIDI Remote Channel (ck)
Under the MIDI menu, use the D-Pot to select MIDI Channel.
Then press the D-Pot and turn it to select the required channel (‘01’
to ‘16’ or ‘al’ for all/any channel). This is the MIDI channel that will
be used for remote control of the XR622 Master module. By default
X-Rack will listen on all channels.
MIDI Remote Learn (ck)
Under the MIDI men u, use the D-Pot to select
MIDI Learn (le) and press SAVE. The green
‘WrProt’ LED will flash to indicate you are in MIDI
Learn mode. Operating any one of the ‘soft’ controls
on the XR622 Master module will cause the LED of
the selected control to flash (the module ‘SEL’ LED
will flash if either of the potentiomenters have been chosen) – indicating it has been chosen. Assign a MIDI
controller to the selected function by operating the required MIDI controller. To cancel or change the
assignment either operate the Master module control again, or operate a different control. A successful
assignment will be indicated by the flashing LED changing to just being illuminated steadily.
To exit MIDI Learn mode, press the D-Pot –the green ‘Wr Prot’ LED will stop flashing. Switch assignments
can be reset to the system defaults by pressing COPY/DELwhen in MIDI Remote Learn mode; the ‘Empty’
LED indicating when the assignments have been deleted.
MIDI Save and Load
In order to use the MIDI save and load utility the X-Rack must be connected to a computer running a
suitable sequencer or MIDI librarian package.
All the stored setups can be saved as a System Exclusive dump to any software package that supports
MIDI SysEx dumps. In practice this includes most packages and you would normally save the TR setups
to an additional track in your current DAW project so that your setups are stored with the rest of the
project.
Saving Setups to a Mac or PC (sa)
With the X-Rack in Setup Mode, saving TR setups to Mac or PC can be achieved as follows:
• Under the MIDI menu, use the D-Pot to select MIDI Save.
