960L Software Version 3.0
Manual fader adjustment may be prevented when the fader is automatically positioned near the top
or bottom of its physical range, even if the parameter is not set to its maximum or minimum value.
To overcome this anomaly, move the fader in the opposite direction, then to the desired value.
The LtRt outputs of the five-output configurations cannot be routed as inputs to the second
optional reverb DSP card.
The two machine outputs in the 5-channel cascades are mixed to allow processed material from
the first machine to simultaneously pass directly to the system output and feed the second
machine. Phasing and comb filtering will occur if a dry signal is passed through both machines.

MIDI IMPLEMENTATION

Software Version 3.0 introduces a number of extensions for MIDI implementation. It now provides
limited support for Continuous Controllers. In previous software versions, Continuous Controller
values were used to control some aspects of system configuration. Because the addition of automation
presents potential confusion, these values have been replaced with Sysex commands.
MIDI implementation remains fixed, meaning there is no user interface for modifications.

NOMENCLATURE

MIDI numbering – i.e. channel numbers and program numbers – can be confusing. Some sources
begin counting at 0, while others begin counting at 1. The MIDI Implementation section of this
document begins counting at 0. When working with MIDI controllers that use 1 as the lowest
channel number, add one to the values included in the channel table on the next page.

MIDI ACTIVATION

When MIDI is active, program loads, mutes, I/O parameter updates, and VPAGE parameter updates
are transmitted when adjusted with the LARC2. This allows external sequencers to capture these
changes for replay.
MIDI is active at all times, except during timecode automation sessions. When automation is running,
MIDI is inactive except for the reception of incoming MIDI timecode. (See the back cover for more
information about the optional Automation Package available for Software Versions 3.0 and above.)

MIDI CHANNEL ALLOCATION

The 960L uses a fixed-channel allocation, meaning it should be the lone device on its MIDI cable. All
channels are either used or reserved for future expansion.

Machine Channels

Machine channels can be used to control each virtual machine in the 960L. Each channel can be
treated independently, much like a multi-timbral synthesizer.
