Lexicon 480L Owner's Manual
The corresponding register table is found on page 5 of
the control mode. To use it:
1. Enter the control mode and go to page 5.
2. Slider three (PGM) selects the MIDI program
change number, and slider four (TBL) selects the 480L
register or program.
3. Use PGM to select the MIDI program change num-
ber you wish to assign to a register or program.
4. Use TBL to select the register or program to assign
to the MIDI program change number. Note that the first
selection for TBL is IGNORE. This allows the 480L to
ignore specific incoming MIDI program change num-
bers.
5. Repeat this process until all the MIDI program
change numbers that you will be using have been
assigned to registers or programs.
Important! The 480L actually has two
corresponding register tables---one for
machine A and one for machine B. Use
MACH to toggle between them.
Using Dynamic MIDI ®
Some extremely interesting effects can be created
when one or more parameters are controlled remotely
in real time. Many of the controllers found on a MIDI
keyboard or controller (pitch benders, mod wheels,
breath controllers, sliders, and switches) can be used
to control 480L parameters remotely in real time via
MIDI. MIDI events like last note played, last velocity,
and aftertouch can also be used.
To use Dynamic MIDI ® , you "patch" a parameter to a
MIDI controller or event, using the patch parameters
found on page 3 of the control mode. There are ten
patches for each register, allowing you to control up to
10 parameters remotely at the same time. Because
each register has its own unique set of patches, each
register can respond to MIDI in a different way.
To get an idea of what patching can do for you try the
following example:
1. Connect the 480L as shown and set the 480L and
the keyboard to the same MIDI channel.
A-4
2. Load one of the sampler programs in Bank 6 or 7.
3. Press CTRL to enter the control mode.
4. Press PAGE, 4 to go to page 4 of the control mode.
5. Use SEL to select the number of the patch you will
create.
6. Use SRC to select the MIDI controller or event
which will be used to control the 480L. For this ex-
ample, set SRC to MOD WHEEL. Notice that as the
slider is moved up past PATCH OFF, two additional
controls become available (SCL and PRM). These
controls are discussed below.
7. Use DST to select the 480L parameter which will be
controlled via MIDI. For this example set DST to FWD
TIME.
8. Use SCL to set the scaling for the controller. SCL
sets the range of effectiveness for the MIDI controller.
Scaling can be set from -200 to +200%. When SCL is
set to +100%, the full range of the MIDI controller will
apply to the 480L parameter. Setting a negative value
of scaling will cause the 480L to reduce the setting of
a parameter as the controller increases.
9. The parameter you chose in step 7 appears when
you press PRM. Move the mod wheel, and the parame-
ter value should change. Use the PRM slider to set the
parameter value to the starting point you wish to use for
MIDI control.
Once you have created a patch, be sure to store it in a
register. Otherwise it will be lost the next time you load
a program or register.
Important! Be extremely careful when creating
patches while a MIDI keyboard is connected. If you
accidentally send a MIDI program change before
saving the patches in a register, they will be lost.
To avoid this possibility, you may want to set PGM
CHG on page 5 of the control mode to IGNORE.
In the sampler and doppler programs only, moving
SRC to the top of its range displays a NOTE EVENT
option. When SRC is set to NOTE EVENT, MIDI Note
On events can be patched to control sampler and
doppler program events like RECORD, CHECK,
PLAY, etc.
