INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing the MIDI Solutions R8 8-output MIDI-controlled Relay Array. The MIDI Solutions R8 contains eight MIDI-controlled relays that enable switches or footswitch inputs to be placed under MIDI control. Each relay can be programmed to respond to a wide variety of MIDI messages, including Note, Control Change, Program Change, and System Exclusive messages, and programmed settings are retained even after power is removed from the unit.
PROGRAMMING The R8 is programmed by sending it MIDI System Exclusive programming commands from a computer with a MIDI interface. These commands are described on the MIDI Solutions website, however the Programming Tools software creates these commands automatically (see www.midisolutions.com/support.htm). Upon receipt of a programming command, the R8's MIDI indicator LED flashes rapidly for about one second to indicate that the setting has been stored.
NOTE To program the R8 to respond to a Note message, send it the following System Exclusive programming command: F0 00 00 50 26 01 rr aa nn cc (pp) F7 (pp is optional) All bytes must be in Hexadecimal format (see hexadecimal conversion table at end) rr = Relay (00 for Relay1 ...
CONTROL CHANGE To program the R8 to respond to a Control Change message, send it the following System Exclusive programming command: F0 00 00 50 26 02 rr aa nn cc (tt pp) F7 (tt and pp are optional) All bytes must be in Hexadecimal format (see hexadecimal conversion table at end) rr = Relay (00 for Relay1 ...
PROGRAM CHANGE To program the R8 to respond to Program Change messages, send it the following System Exclusive programming command: F0 00 00 50 26 03 rr (aa pp) cc nn nn ... nn F7 (aa pp) is optional All bytes must be in Hexadecimal format (see hexadecimal conversion table at end) rr = Relay (00 for Relay1 ... 07 for Relay8) if aa pp is omitted then relay CLOSES for all programs nn and OPENS for all other program numbers.
SYSTEM EXCLUSIVE To program the R8 to CLOSE upon receiving a System Exclusive message, send it the following programming commands: F0 00 00 50 26 04 rr 01 (pp) F7 followed by F0 ... F7 (pp is optional) where F0 ... F7 is the System Exclusive message the relay is being programmed to respond to (max. 20 byes) All bytes must be in Hexadecimal format (see hexadecimal conversion table at end) rr = Relay (00 for Relay1 ...
