Frequently Asked Questions
What status messages are used to indicate a Note Off event in MIDI data?
A 'Note Off' event is identified by setting the Velocity value (ll) to 00H.
Which specific Control Change IDs map to the primary mixer controls like Level and Pan?
The Level parameter corresponds to C.C.#7, and the Pan parameter is assigned to C.C.#10.
What system parameters must be configured for the device to transmit its full range of mixer controls via MIDI?
For transmitting mixer parameters, 'MIDI Control Type (*1)' in SYSTEM parameters should be set to "C.C." or "NRPM."
How are specific switch positions for FX returns (Bus 1/2, Bus 3/4) controlled using C.C. messages?
They utilize dedicated C.C. numbers: cc 21 controls the FX2 Return To Bus 1/2 Switch, and cc 22 handles the signal for Bus 3/4.
