Assigning MIDI Messages to Controllers

Apart from using iMap to assign your MIDI function for your InSpire-air
controller, you may also do that manually.
There are 128 MIDI Controller messages (CCs) that are used for adjusting
parameters in MIDI devices. The more common functions, such as volume,
balance, pan, and reverb, have standardized MIDI numbers, called RPNs
(Registered Program Numbers). NRPNs (Non-Registered Program Numbers) do
not have a set MIDI function and may correlate to device-specific or user-
defined MIDI Controller messages.
Refer to the MIDI Controller reference chart (Appendix C) for all functions
assigned to Registered Program Numbers (RPN). For example, "volume" always
has a CC number of "7." CCs numbered 0-67 are continuous controls, each with
a range of values from 0-127, while CCs 68-97 are switches (on/off control).
Numbers 98-127 are unassigned parameters and global mode controls.
If a connected MIDI device or software features controls assigned to NRPNs,
refer to the MIDI implementation chart available in the user's manual for that
device or program. Note: If the manufacturer of your connected MIDI devices
lists NRPNs in hexadecimal format, use a Hexadecimal Conversion Chart such as
the one in found in (Appendix H) of this manual to translate the value into
decimal format.
Programming Controls
To assign a CC number to an InSpire-air control,
press Ctrl Assign (Advanced + Ctrl Assign). It will
light up. Next, activate any fader, knob, or pad by
sliding, turning, or tapping it, respectively.
The ID number for the control you have just
activated will appear on the left side of the LCD
screen. For example "1" for fader, knob or pad #1.
The right side of the screen will display the MIDI CC
number currently assigned to that control. The
letters "cc" will appear above this number.
Turn the jogwheel or use the numbered buttons to
select the CC number you would like to assign.
To assign another controller, simply activate another fader, knob, or pad. Its ID
number and current CC will appear. Repeat this process for all the faders,
knobs, and pads you need to assign. For your convenience, it is recommended
that you keep a written log sheet as your own template or MIDI-Map.
