Using Midi Messages To Control The Ua-100 - Roland Audio Canvas UA-100 User Manual

Using MIDI Messages to Control the UA-100

The digital mixer inside the UA-100 can be controlled using MIDI messages.
Here we will explain how MIDI messages can adjust the volume of the audio track of
existing sequence data. Before you continue, open a song in your sequencing software.
Settings on Your Sequencing Program
1
Select an unused track on your sequencing software, and set it so that MIDI messages
(control changes) can be input into the track.
2
As the MIDI port of the track you will input, select 1:Roland UA-100 MIDI Control.
Input MIDI Messages
Input MIDI messages into your sequencing software.
Here we will use MIDI messages to adjust the master output volume of the UA-100.
Since the volume of the UA-100 can be controlled by MIDI Volume messages
(controller number 7), we will input control change messages for controller number 7
into the sequencing software.
Volume messages can be transmitted on different MIDI channels to control various
volume levels within the UA-100. Here we want to control the volume of the master
output, so we will use MIDI channel 16.
The correspondence between the various UA-100 levels and MIDI channels is shown
below.
