Using Dynamic Midi To Transmit And Receive Midi Controller Information; Using Sysex And Dynamic Midi Patches; Controlling Multiple 300S - Lexicon 300 - V3.0 REV Owner's Manual

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 300's Dynamic MIDI
patches will respond to the recorded Controller commands.
This type of operation gives the best of all the 300's MIDI capabilities. As
previously described, create the patches you want. Set the 300 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 300 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 300 will respond just as the changes were
recorded.
In applications that require more than one 300 to work together, you can use one
300 as a master, and slave as many 300s as you need to the master. This is done
by connecting the MIDI OUT of the master machine to the MIDI IN of the first
slave, then connecting the MIDI THRU of the first slave to the next slave, 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.
To see the results, select an effect from the master machine, then put all of the
machines in Effect Edit mode — displaying the same page. When you turn the
soft knob on the master machine, all of the slaves will respond to the command.
Note that, even if the displays are set to different pages on the various slave
machines, the parameter changes are still taking place.
Note: If master and slave 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.
