MIDI

You can use MIDI control change messages to control specified events (fader/encoder opera-

tions, [ON] key on/off operations etc.) on the LS9. This capability can be used to record fader and

key operations on a MIDI sequencer or other external device, and play back this data later.

You can use control changes to control events in either of the following two ways.

Using control changes

This method uses typical control changes (control numbers 1–31, 33–95, 102–119). You can freely assign an
event to each control number.

Using NRPN (Non Registered Parameter Number)

This method uses a special type of control change messages called NRPN.
NRPN uses control change numbers 62 and 63 to specify the MSB (Most Significant Byte) and LSB (Least Sig-
nificant Byte) of the parameter number, and subsequently-transmitted control change messages of control
change number 6 (or 6 and 26) to specify the value of that parameter.
The event assigned to each combination of MSB and LSB is pre-defined, and cannot be changed.
1Connect the LS9 to your external device.
2In the DISPLAY ACCESS section, press the
[SETUP] key repeatedly to access the MISC
SETUP screen.
3Move the cursor to the MIDI SETUP popup
button, and press the [ENTER] key to
access the MIDI SETUP popup window.
4As described in “Basic MIDI settings” (
p. 178), select the ports and MIDI channels
that will be used to transmit/receive control
changes.
5When you’ve finished making settings,
move the cursor to the CLOSE button and
press the [ENTER] key to close the popup
window.
You will return to the MISC SETUP screen.
6Move the cursor to the CONTROL CHANGE
popup button, and press the [ENTER] key
to access the CONTROL CHANGE popup
window.
In the CONTROL CHANGE popup window you can
specify how control changes will be transmitted and
received, and assign the event (fader/encoder opera-
tion, [ON] key on/off operation, etc.) assigned to each
control number. This page includes the following
items.
1CONTROL CHANGE field
Here you can switch control change transmission/
reception on/off, and specify whether control changes
will be echoed out. This setting is linked with the
CONTROL CHANGE field of the MIDI SETUP
popup window.
