Chapter 38 Working in the Environment 921
In the Conditions area, you select the type of MIDI event that will affect the data bytes
in the SysEx message. (Typically, you’ll use MIDI controller events.) Incoming MIDI
events will then change the SysEx message data bytes, according to the following rules:
 The data byte 1 value sets the position of the data byte.
 The data byte 2 value sets the value of the data byte.
 The channel controls the action to be taken:
 Channel 1: The changed SysEx message is sent.
 Channel 2: The changed SysEx message is not sent.
 Channel 3: The unchanged SysEx message is sent.
 Channels 4 to 16: No meaning (reserved for future use).
The “Filter non-matching” checkbox prevents incoming MIDI events (that don’t control
the SysEx message) from being passed through. Typically, you will want this feature
turned on, to prevent interloping controller data from invading the SysEx data stream.
Track Automation Splitter (true → to cable)
If the condition matches, incoming events will be sent to the track automation of the
object connected to the top cable of the transformer—after passing through the
Operation field. With the appropriate Operation field settings, incoming MIDI data is
transformed into Fader event data—allowing the automation of any possible
parameter of the connected Mixer object. Exception: Channel volume and channel pan
uses Control events.
Defining Conditions and Operations
The conditions and operations are the same as those found in the Transform window.
For more information, see “Editing MIDI Events in the Transform Window” on page 491.
The only differences arise from the fact that a transformer objects work in real time and
therefore, position and note length have no useful meaning.
Editing Pitch Bend Events
A transformer object can process 14-bit pitch bend events, which contain two discrete
data bytes: If byte 1 is changed (by addition or scaling with the -1- operation), the
change will also affect the second byte.
Set the Data Byte 2 operation to Thru to ensure that 14-bit pitch bend data is processed
properly.
