Programming Faders

The eight channel faders, as well as the master fader, can all be reprogrammed. To display the pro- grammed message for a fader, simply touch the fader and the Control Panel shows something like Figure 4.8:

Figure 4.8: Programming faders

When you touch the master fader, you will see that its programming information does not include bank information since it is a single, global control that is active in all banks.)

Selecting the MIDI output(s) The FW-1082 has two physical MIDI outputs (1 and 2) and two vir- tual MIDI outputs which appear as MIDI sources in your DAW, but have no physical port (VP1 and VP2).

•Check or un-check the four Port boxes to select or de-select the corresponding MIDI outputs for the fader. MIDI messages generated by the fader that you are programming are sent to each port whose box is checked. Uncheck all four ports to make a key inactive.

Setting the MIDI channel All MIDI messages from this fader must be on the same channel.

•Use the up and down arrows of the Channel indica- tor box to change the MIDI channel or type in a MIDI channel number from 1 through 16.

Selecting the MIDI controller Use the up and down arrows of the Controller indicator box to change the MIDI controller number. Alternatively, you can type in a MIDI controller number from 0 through 127.

Faders send continuous controller messages only, so the Note On/Off and Toggled Controller options on the FW-1082’s Control Panel are disabled.

Banking

You can use the h BANK y keys to shift through the four banks of controls.

Only the channel strip controls—faders, channel MUTE, SOLO and SEL keys—are bankable. All

other surface controls are unaffected by the banking commands.
