Midi Implementation Details - Panda-Audio Future Impact I User Manual

MID1 FRQ, MID2 FRQ (0..127): The center frequency of the equalizer stages
can be adjusted in the range of 170...7000Hz.
MID1 Q, MID2 Q (10..100): The resonance (Q) of the equalizer stages can be
adjusted in a range of 1...10.
MID1 BOOST, MID2 BOOST (-20..+20): Boost and Cut of the equalizers can be
adjusted in the range of -20dB to +20dB.
TREBLE FRQ (0..127): This control will adjust the frequency of the treble shelf
filter in the range of 2000...7000 Hz.
TREBLE SLOPE (0..127): the steepness of the treble filter can be adjusted here
in a range of 3...10dB/octave.
TREBLE BOOST (-15..+15): The treble can be boosted or cut by up to 15dB.
Using Parameter (Effect) on the FI to adjust EQUALIZER: The default Equalizer
setting that was adjusted in the editor will be active by setting 5 of the data
wheel. Increasing up to 9 will increase treble boost/cut in steps of 2 dB, while
reducing bass boost/cut also in steps of 2dB, and leaving the mid controls
unchanged. So, effectively turning the control to higher value will make the
sound sharper, while decreasing to 1 will damp the sound.

MIDI Implementation details

The MIDI input of the FI will receive the following information:
NOTE ON with velocity
NOTE OFF
PITCH BEND
PROGRAM CHANGE (1...99 for programs 1...99)
MODULATION (Control 1; default value: 127)
MIDI VOLUME (Control 7; default value: 127)
FILTER CUTOFF (Control 74; default value: 64)
Remark1: Modulation (Control 1) is routed to both VCF and VCO LFO Modula-
tion. This means, that whatever depth is set in the program, this depth value
will be reached if Control 1 is at maximum, 127. Practically, the modulation
value(s) in the program will be multiplied with the MIDI controller value / 127.
Beware, if you use FI with a keyboard and use the Mod Wheel, when you
release it, it will reset the controller to zero. If you disconnect now the
keyboard and play the FI further with a bass, you will find that there is no
modulation in the programs where you expect it, because the default of 127
has been reset to zero. You have to turn FI off and on again.
Remark2: MIDI Volume (Control 7) is implemented at the final output of FI. It
is independent of all program parameters. Beware, if you use a keyboard or a
