Some sequencers cannot record SysEx or Non-Registered Parameter informa-
®
tion. In this case, you can use Dynamic MIDI
Controller information used to get the real-time effect changes you want. Simply
create the patches you want, and record the Controller information on your
sequencer. When the sequence is played back, the 300L's Dynamic MIDI
patches will respond to the recorded Controller commands.
This type of operation gives the best of all the 300L's MIDI capabilities. As
® previously described, create the patches you want. Set the 300L to one of the
Automation modes. Put your sequencer into Record, and use the MIDI Control-
lers to create the effect parameter changes you need. As you change the effect
parameters, the 300L will transmit information to your sequencer in the format
you have chosen (System Exclusive or Non-registered Parameters). This allows
you to control and record as many as five parameters simultaneously. Again,
when you play back the sequence, the 300L will respond just as the changes
were recorded.
In applications that require more than one 300L to work together, you can use
one 300L as a Host, and Client as many 300Ls as you need to the Host. This is
done by connecting the MIDI OUT of the Host machine to the MIDI IN of the first
Client, then connecting the MIDI THRU of the first Client to the next Client, and so
on.
Set the Automation mode on all machines to the same setting, and make sure
that all machines are operating on the same MIDI Channel.
Note: If Host and Client machines have different input sources, i.e. a mix of
analog and digital, effect changes will not work in SysEx and Non-Registered
Parameter modes.
