MIDI Message Types
Here is a table of some common MIDI Message types and their corresponding data formats. In Scene
and List modes, the Soleman uses Program Change or Note On messages by default. In Panel mode,
Control Change messages can also be used.
Macros can be used in any of the modes (Scene, List, or Panel) to allow for custom MIDI messages of
other types, such as pitch bend or SysEx messages.
