300L Owner's Manual
Using Fixed
Program Change
MIDI Program Change
numbers are limited to 1-
128. As the 300L contains
more than 128 Setups and
more than 128 Effects, this
means that higher Setup
and Effect numbers cannot
be accepted. If Automation
is set to PROG CHANGE
and the MAP is set to
FIXED, the 300L will dis-
play NOT IN FIX when Ef-
fects numbered over 128
are received.
7-4
You can use MIDI Program Change messages to load either Setups or Machine
Effects. Setups are driven by MIDI Program Change messages over the System
Channel. MIDI Program Change messages 1-128 sent out over the System
Channel will load Setups 1-128. Go to Control mode, page 6, and set the MAP
slider to FIXED.
As an example: Set the System Channel to channel 2. Now send Program
Change 64 to the 300L on channel 2 from your MIDI control device. If you are
at the top level of the SETUP mode (press SETUP if you're not), the display
should read:
BRAND "X"
SG: SET P 64
There is a one-to-one correspondance (fixed) between the MIDI Program
Change number and the 300L Setup number.
Now, suppose you have a Setup running, but want to load a new Effect Program
over a different MIDI channel, into that Setup. To do this, as an example, set the
MIDI Channel for MACHINE A to channel 4. by pressing CTRL, PAGE, then 5.
Advance slider 5 until the display reads:
MIDI CHAN
MACH A: 4
Press PROG before sending any MIDI messages to the 300L. This will allow you
to see and confirm new Programs actually being loaded. Now, send Program
Change 34 over MIDI Channel 4. The display will show:
MARBLE FOYER
300MA: B04P2
This is another FIXED relationship starting at B1P1 LARGE HALL (MIDI
Program 1) through B13P8 BASEMENT (MIDI Program 128).
NOTE: If you try to load a Split Effect Program into a currently running Single
Setup, or a Single Effect Program into a currently running Split Setup, you will
get the message: CAN'T LOAD IN
