Using An External Midi Device To Control The Mixer (Compu Mix); Correspondence Between Midi Channels And Controller Numbers - Roland VS-1824 Owner's Manual

Using an External MIDI
Device to Control the Mixer
(Compu Mix)
The VS-1824 can send and receive mixer settings and fader
movements as MIDI messages. You can use an external MIDI
controller to control the VS-1824's faders. You can also use an
external MIDI sequencer to record mixer settings and
movements during playback as MIDI song data, and the
mixer can be controlled automatically by the MIDI sequencer
when the song is played back later. This is referred to as
Compu Mix. Compu Mix uses Control Change messages or
System Exclusive messages.
When using System Exclusive Messages
When working in Compu Mix, you should normally use
Control Change messages. However, if the Control
Change messages affect the settings of other MIDI
devices in your setup, you can use System Exclusive
messages. For more detailed information about Control
Change messages and System Exclusive messages, refer
to "MIDI Implementation" (Appendices p.82).
Correspondence Between MIDI
Channels and Controller Numbers
MIDI channels correspond to the mixer channels as shown
below. For channels paired using the Channel Link function,
Control Change messages can be exchanged using the odd-
numbered channel's MIDI channel. Control Change
messages transmitted via the even-numbered channel's MIDI
channel are ignored.
