TASCAM FW-1884 Owner’s Manual 27
4.2.3 Programming Encoders
The eight channel encoders, as well as the three EQ
encoders, can all be reprogrammed. To display the pro-
grammed message for an encoder, just turn it slightly.
You will see a display something like this:
To change the MIDI output(s): Checking or un-
checking the four Port boxes will select or de-select the
corresponding MIDI output. MIDI messages gener-
ated by the k ey that yo u’re programmin g will be se nt to
each port whose associated box is checked.
To change the MIDI channel: Use the up and down
arrows of the Channel indicator box to change the
MIDI channel. Alternatively, you can type in a MIDI
channel number from 1 through 16.
To change the MIDI controller number: 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.
Encoders send continuous controller messages only, so
the NOTE ON/OFF and TOGGLED CONTROL-
LER options on the FW-1884’s control panel are
grayed out.
4.2.4 Programming Faders
The eight channel faders, as well as the master fader,
can all be reprogrammed. To display the programmed
message for a fader, simply touch the fader. The display
should look something like this:
(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.)
To change the MIDI output(s): Checking or un-
checking the four Port boxes will select or de-select the
corresponding MIDI output. MIDI messages gener-
ated by the k ey that yo u’re programmin g will be se nt to
each port whose associated box is checked.
To change the MIDI channel: Use the up and down
arrows of the Channel indicator box to change the
MIDI channel. Alternatively, you can type in a MIDI
channel number from 1 through 16.
To change the MIDI controller number: 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 can only be MIDI controllers, and the NOTE
ON/OFF and TOGGLED CONTROLLER options
on the FW-1884’s control panel are greyed out.
