Data Wheel - Peavey PC1600X User Manual

Congratulation on your purchase of the PC1600X MIDI Control Station This is THE MIDI command station
for digital workstations, sequencer control or remote MIDI editing. As a matter of fact the PC1600x will edit
and control just about ANY MIDI device. Fifty factory presets give a good representation of its power and
all fifty are completely user-programmable MIDI data is transmitted using the following controllers:
1. Sixteen programmable 60mm faders: Which can be assigned to transmit continuous controller
data like, volume, pan or any MIDI String (i.e. Channel System Messages). Also any fader can be the
master over any of the other faders. To simplify operation each fader can be individually named.
2. Sixteen programmable buttons: which can be assigned as: fader mute, fader solo, program
change, note on/off, MIDI string, MIDI string with button press & release (2 messages), MIDI string
toggle (2 messages), fader send, scene send and fader identify. Like the faders each button can be
named. Also buttons can be accessed remotely via Note or Program Change messages.
3. Data wheel: The "Data Wheel' can be linked to a fader or Control Voltage input and duplicate it's
Programming. It can also transmit the value of the last fader moved.
4. Two Control Voltage Pedal Inputs: The 1600x allows you to plug in and assign CV pedals.
These are assigned like the faders. The CV 2 jack can also sub as a dual footswitch input.
The PC1600x has even more "under the hood!"
100 scenes: Just in case there comes a time when you would like to save your fader's physical position. (like
when mixing). the PC1600x offers 100 scenes that can be saved and recalled as needed. This feature is
extremely useful for MIDI light controllers, MIDI mixing, MIDI controllers, etc.
Three Merge Modes: When MIDI connections place the PC1600x between the source of data (sequencer,
etc), and the destination (tone modules. etc) it can merge with controller data coming into it in a variety of
ways.
Three modes are available:
1... Merge - Fader movements are merged with incoming data.
2... Replace - Same as above, except that when the fader is moved, incoming data is filtered and
replaced by data generated by the fader. Fader position determines the value transmitted
3... Update - When the fader is moved. its data matches the last value of the incoming data
regardless of fader position. This allows seamless modification of the incoming data.
MIDI Filtering: The PC1600x contains an extensive MIDI filtering section.
Programmable Set-up string: Along with all of the faders, buttons settings a MIDI Set-up string can be
transmitted when a preset is selected. This string can send Bank select, Program Change and Volume settings
for ALL 16 channels. In addition a scene and a MIDI string of up to 80 bytes can be sent.
Easy Synth Programming: The PC1600x will accept presets Pre-programmed for editing. We've made this
as "Painless as possible, by designing specific presets for the PC1600x that are stored in the Spectrum Synth,
Spectrum Organ and Spectrum Bass LL. You simply transfer them to the PC1600x. and you instantly have
fader and button control over all the parameters. Now, without ever having to deal with hexadecimal SysEx
messages you can edit presets quickly and spend more time getting work done.
