MIDI AND KEYBOARD REMOTE CONTROL

Example MIDI Setups

There are several possible variables when it comes to what type of MIDI setup

you are using. Please read on.

“Ideal” Setup

The ideal setup is a computer with two MIDI interfaces or one MIDI interface

with multiple, separate inputs, a MIDI keyboard used for playing/recording and a

separate MIDI Controller device (“fader box”) used for remote control.

1. Connect your MIDI keyboard to one MIDI Input.

2. Connect your MIDI remote device to the other MIDI Input.

3. Open the Preferences – MIDI dialog and set things up so that the

MIDI keyboard is used for playing and the fader box is used for

MIDI Remote control.

If You are Using a Single MIDI Interface with one MIDI Input

only

In this scenario we assume you have your MIDI keyboard and external MIDI con-

troller connected to the same MIDI Input on your computer. In this case it’s a lit-

tle bit trickier to get things to work correctly. Here’s the problem:

If you are using the sequencer input for playing a device, the device will react to

MIDI controller messages via this input, since all devices are always set up to re-

act to MIDI controller messages (see page 287 for details).

Now, if you happen to set things up so that a control on a device reacts to the

same MIDI Controller message as is used for remote control of another control

(maybe even on another device) both controls will move simultaneously on

screen!

The solution is to separate things via MIDI Channel messages. Proceed as fol-

lows:

1. If you are using the MIDI sequencer input to play your devices, open

the Preferences - MIDI dialog and make a note of which MIDI Chan-

nel is used for sequencer input.

2. If you are instead using one of the direct MIDI buses A to D, check

the Hardware Interface to find out which MIDI Channels are already

taken by devices in the rack.

3. Set up your MIDI Controller (that you plan to use for MIDI Remote

control) to transmit on any MIDI channel that is not already occu-

pied (as described above).

4. When you then set up MIDI remote Control, only use the MIDI Chan-

nel on which your MIDI Controller is now set to transmit on.

This will ensure that remote control doesn’t conflict with other MIDI.

If you only have one MIDI Device

If you only have one MIDI Device that you plan to use both for playing/recording

and for remote control, there are severe restrictions. Actually there ‘s only one

sensible way to avoid conflicts.

1. Open the “MIDI Implementation Charts.pdf” document.

This can be found in your program folder.

2. Make a note of the controller numbers that are not used for direct

control of any device at all.

3. Set up your MIDI remote control so that it only uses these unused

MIDI Controller numbers.

! Please note that you can only assign a MIDI Controller number for

remote control of one parameter at a time. If you try to assign a sec-

ond parameter to a MIDI Controller number already used, the previ-

ously assigned parameter is overridden by the new one.

Enabling MIDI Remote

To enable MIDI Remote, select “Enable MIDI Remote Mapping” from the Op-

tions menu.
