MIDI Interface Guide Using MIDI Direct MIDI SysEx Strings Direct MIDI SysEx strings are exactly the same as the parametric strings used for indirect MIDI control (described later). When filling in the three bytes in the grayed area, refer to reference data at the end of this chapter. Understanding Ch, Dev and Net Offsets Please observe two important facts about MIDI Channel, Device, and Net Numbers. 1. All three are used in decimal form on the 1788A and 188.
NOTE: We will refer to the Reference Data at the end of this chapter for command codes used by the 1788A. When programming each control, use the following setup: 1. Single-byte transmit 2. Faders: string; Buttons: string toggle 3. Fader Limits: 26 to 65 4. Faders: use “pr” in the value byte. This is the PC1600’s code for grabbing the fader’s value. 5. For this demonstration, we’re using command code 00 for Input Gain and 07 for Mute. We’re declaring the 1788A is set for Channel 1, Device 1, Net 1.
The Model 5200, will allow you to control your Aphex 1788A or 188 from any MIDI controller. You will need to be familiar be with the programming of your MIDI device.
