QUICK START GUIDE
Using The Programmable Template Controls
Every Template contains definitions of the type of MIDI information to
be transmitted when any of the assignable encoders, knobs, sliders,
buttons or X-Y touchpad are used. It is not mandatory that every control
has to transmit MIDI information, so it is possible that controls in a
Template may be defined as 'No Control'.
Data transmitted by a control is indicated on the bottom line of the dis-
play. When a control is moved, it will be one of the following :
Continuous Controller
This is indicated by CC followed by the controller number.
Non-Registered Parameter (NRPN)
This is indicated by NRPN. There is no controller number displayed.
Registered Parameter (RPN)
This is indicated by RPN. There is no controller number displayed.
MIDI Machine Control
The screen shows MMC. There is no controller number displayed.
The screen display when a control moved is slightly different for buttons
using MMC :
Stop
1 MMC
This is similar to the normal display shown when other types of MIDI
information are transmitted, except that the top line displays the type of
MMC command defined, while the bottom line at the left is the MMC
number of the command defined for the button.
Only buttons can be assigned to send MMC. When MMC is used, there
is no Control name used or displayed.
Note ON / Note OFF
The screen shows NOTE. There is no controller number displayed.
System Exclusive
The screen shows SYSEX. There is no controller number displayed.
Program Change
The screen shows PROGC. There is no controller number displayed.
Pitch Bend
The screen shows PBEND. There is no controller number displayed.
