assigned as a Note On (9Nh) message. If the
parameter is continuously variable, the
Continuous Controller (BNh) or Polyphonic
Aftertouch (ANh) may be used.
• #(number): This assignment is in the range of 0-
127 decimal values (00h-7Fh) for the associated
Status type.
• Channel: A static value is selectable for a switch
message type, in the range of 0-127 decimal
values (00h-7Fh). It is not selectable and is the
implied variable (dynamic, changing, whatever)
output when using the continuous type status
messaging. Note that for D8B controls that use
less than 256-step resolution, (e.g., EQ type uses
4 values, whereas a fader uses 256 values), the
full range of 128 MIDI values may not be used.
• Route To: This assigns the MIDI route to a
console channel strip, master fader or aux send
master, master section, or transport parameter.
The actual Parameter within any chosen function
is assigned in the Parameter column.
• Parameter: Available choices follow either the
switch or variable control types of categories, as
set by the MIDI status column selection.
• Mode: A value is displayed when the Route is a
switch type. The displayed value is typically either
On or Off, but may show some other type of
descriptor, such as 'Pre' or 'Post' as an aid to
determining the Status function.
• Direction: The MIDI Route is set to Receive,
Send, or Both. Take care to avoid MIDI feedback.
• The File menu inside of the map contains the
following additional commands:
• Open MIDI Map: Recalls a saved MIDI Map
from disk. If a map is currently in place, it will
be entirely overwritten by the map from disk
upon loading.
• Save MIDI Map As...: Saves the current MIDI
map to disk as a Map file, which is available
for recall at a later date.
• MIDI Channel: Sets the global MIDI channel
for the entire map.
• Delete MIDI Route: Deletes the currently

selected Route(s) within the list. The DELETE

selected using the Shift-Select or Control-
Select keyboard combinations.
