Selecting SongBook Entries via MIDI
SongBook Entries can be selected via MIDI messages (through
the special Control channel), by using the dedicated NRPN Con-
trol Change messages #99 (MSB, with value 2) and #98 (LSB,
with value 64). See "Selecting SongBook Entries via MIDI" on
next page.
Setting the special Control MIDI IN channel
A special MIDI channel used as the "Control" channel is needed
to send MIDI messages to select the SongBook Entries.
First of all, choose a MIDI Preset to quickly configure the Con-
trol channel. Go to the Global > MIDI > General Controls page
and choose a MIDI Preset where to save your settings.
Then, choose a MIDI channel as the "Control" channel. Go to
the Global > MIDI > Midi In Channel page, and assign the Con-
trol option to one of the sixteen available MIDI channels (usually
one of the higher-numbered ones, for example 16).
When done, save this setting to the current MIDI Preset by
choosing the "Write Midi Preset" command from the page
menu.
