Peavey PC1600X User Manual page 38

If the button is programmed to transmit a single note on message using the button "Note On" function (vs. a
MIDI string) the screen would be displayed similar to this:
As mentioned earlier the "Rem" designation indicates that velocity will be determined from remote MIDI
input, if a button is pressed locally (on the PC1600x itself) or a Program Change is received, the "rv" byte
value (or "Rem" setting) will be determined by the position of the fader above the button, even if it did not
follow a "9x" or an "8x". The fader position number will always be ranged from 0-127 (or 1-127 if within a
note streams. It will not be affected by the fader's Min and Max parameters.
NOTE:
Since the "rv" velocity will use the fader position when the button is pressed on the PC1600x it is useful to
use "rv" even when not using the remote feature. It gives you a method of inserting the fader position (0-127
only) into any button string. Use it for program number, note number etc. If the fader is not being used for
something else, however it is probably better to program the message into the fader, then set the button to
"Send Fader".
LEARN MODE
If a system exclusive message is received while a button string is being edited (the cursor must be visible).
the PC1600x wilt automatically replace the existing button string with the system exclusive message
received. Note recording is also possible with this function. See below for more information.
NOTE STREAM RECORDING
To make chord programming easier, the PC1600x can now record note streams into button strings. This
allows you to play a chord into the PC1600x to program a button instead of inserting all of the numbers in
manually. To set up note recording, you must first enable the feature by telling the PC1600x which MIDI
channel you will be sending the note data over. This parameter/screen is located in the Utility menu (alone
with the MIDI Device Numbers):
After setting the channel, go to any button's string editing screen (String, Prs/Rls or toggle) and hit the left or
right arrow button to put the underline cursor on the screen:
The recording will be triggered by any Note On received on the specified channel. Any Note Off received on
that channel will erase the string, allowing you to experiment until you find the right group of notes. Any
other MIDI commands will not affect the recording. When finished, press the "ENTER" button while
continuing to hold the chord. (if you're using 2-handed chords you can plug a footswitch into the PC16000x
and set it to emulate the "ENTER" button - see the 6th screen under UTILITY.)
