Using Control Change Messages to Control Volume and FX Assignments

5.5.3 Controlling the StudioLive 16.0.2 with a Behringer FCB1010
Using MIDI Control Mode to Remote-Control StudioLive
To begin, you must first assign unique MIDI channels for FXA, FXB, and Scene Recall.
This will allow you to send a different Program Change message to each of these
three preset libraries, allowing you to navigate through each preset library on its
own. Using the Next and Prev buttons, navigate to each channel field and set a
MIDI channel using the value encoder. You can choose any channel from 1 to 16.
Once you have assigned different MIDI channels for FXA, FXB, and
Scene Recall, you simply need to send a Program Change message
on one of those channels, using your external MIDI controller.
The other type of MIDI message your StudioLive 16.0.2 uses is the Control Change
(CC) message. A MIDI Control Change message can be used for many things,
including Volume, Pan, Sustain On/Off, and Modulation. Your StudioLive uses CC
messages to control Main and FX Output Volume and FX Assign/Unassign to Mains.
Although the MIDI Detailed Specification assigns particular controls to specified CC
message numbers, you can use any CC message number for these parameters.
To begin, navigate to page 5 of the System Menu and use the value encoder to
assign a unique MIDI channel on which to transmit CC messages to your StudioLive.
Use the Next and Prev buttons to navigate to the FXA, FXB, and Main Output Level
fields, and set the Control Change message number you wish to use to control
the output volume for each bus. You can choose any number from 0 to 127.
Next, navigate to the Mute Effects fields and choose a CC message
number to assign/unassign FXA and FXB to the Main bus.
When you are finished, each parameter on this page should have a different
CC message number next to it. With this accomplished, you simply need to
send one of the assigned Control Change messages to your StudioLive on the
designated MIDI channel, using your hardware MIDI controller or DAW.
In order to set the correct volume for FXA, FXB, and Main output level, your
Volume Control Change messages must include values from 0 to 127. FXA and
FXB Assign to Mains is a simple toggle message, so it is not value-dependent.
The next two sections cover setup instructions for the most popular
MIDI footswitch pedals available when this manual was written. If you
are not using one of these devices, please consult the documentation
that came with your MIDI controller to learn how to send Control
Change and Program Change messages on a given MIDI channel.
This tutorial will show you how to quickly configure your StudioLive 16.0.2 so that
you can control it with a Behringer FCB1010. The setup configuration detailed here
is just an example; you can customize your own setup using these simple steps.
Each section in this tutorial will focus on a particular setup area. In
order for your FCB1010 to control your StudioLive as described below,
you must complete the steps in each section of the tutorial.
