Selecting A Midi Channel; Accessing Programs And Registers - Lexicon PCM 90 - REV 1 User Manual

All PCM 90 parameters, programs and registers can be accessed by MIDI. All
MIDI applications require the PCM 90 to be connected with one or more MIDI
devices with standard MIDI cables via the rear panel MIDI jacks.
MIDI controls, such as Transmit and Receive Channel selection are available in
Control mode Row 3 MIDI. All of these controls are described in Chapter 2.
Several are repeated here for your convenience.
Before using the PCM 90 with other MIDI devices, all devices must be set to the
same MIDI channel. To set the PCM 90 to receive MIDI:
1. Set the controller you will be using (keyboard, sequencer, other PCM 90,
etc.) to transmit on any MIDI channel (1-16).
2. On the PCM 90, press Control. Use Select and Up or Down to locate
matrix position 3.1 Receive.
3. Turn ADJUST to select OFF, 1-16, or OMNI for receipt of MIDI messages.
Some extremely useful effects can be created by controlling PCM 90 parameters
remotely in real time. Almost all of the controllers found on a MIDI keyboard or
MIDI foot controller (pitch benders, mod wheels, sliders, switches, breath
controllers, foot pedals and footswitches) can be used to adjust PCM 90
parameters. We refer to this real time remote control capability as Dynamic
®
MIDI
Sending a MIDI Program Change message (0-49) from the controller will load
the corresponding PCM 90 program from the current bank. If any MIDI sources
are active as global or general purpose patches, moving the appropriate control
on the controller will cause the patched destination parameter to change. (See
Patching.) If you want to use Dynamic MIDI, but don't want the PCM 90 to load
new registers when you change programs on your controller, set your controller
so that it doesn't transmit Program Change messages, or set PCM 90 MIDI
Program Change to Off at Control mode matrix location 3.3.
