Using BitStream in mode 2: User defined MIDI Messages
This mode is used when the soft/device to control doesn't accept standard MIDI messages specified
by the Norm.
The user can assign up to 3 MIDI strings to each potentiometer / Switch, in order to control his
device(s) with BitStream pro. Since Bitstream Pro front panel features 49 controls (32 knobs / 8 sliders
/ 1 LFO), this makes an amount of 147 programmable MIDI events.
For each one of these events, all the following parameters can be programmed:
Control Min & Max values
-
-
Control value position
-
MIDI channel Position
-
Checksum Position, checksum range (for SYSEX events)
-
Delay to insert after MIDI event (from 0 to 90ms)
-
Chained control, including Crossfaders
-
16 characters MIDI string (displayed on LCD)
A software delivered with BitStream Pro allows to configure these MIDI strings, for additional
information, refer to the "Software user's guide" available on Waveidea website.
User defined MIDI strings are described in the manual of the device to control (MIDI Implementation
part). In the case of popular devices, such as Roland MC-303, Quasimidi 309, etc, several library files
are available on the Waveidea website. They can be downloaded for free, and used with the
"BitStream Configuration software".
These library files are downloadable from:
The user has also the possibility to assign to each potentiometer or switch an alphanumeric string of
16 chars max, that will be displayed on the second line of the LCD display in order to indicate what is
the parameter controlled.
Example:
This screen allows the user to know that the controller parameter is the filter Attack of his Roland MC-
303, on the MIDI Channel 16, with a value of 127 on the group A.
Waveidea highly recommends to use the dedicated configuration software to program
Bitstream Pro. For additional information about Bitstream Pro User defined mode, please refer
to the configuration software user guide, available on Waveidea website
