switches or toggle switches.
• Buttons always output MIDI notes.
• The specic MIDI note each button outputs, and whether the button is a momentary switch or
toggle switch, is set in the K-Mix Editor’s MIDI Tab.
• When set to “momentary”, the button will output a MIDI note with a velocity of 127 when
pressed, then output a MIDI note with a velocity of 0 when released.
• When set to “toggle”, the button will output a MIDI note with a velocity of 127 the rst time the
button is pressed (toggled on), then output a MIDI note with a velocity of 0 the next time it is
pressed (toggled off).
• The button’s LED will light up when pressed (or toggled on), and will turn off when released (or
toggled off).
DIAMOND PAD
K-Mix’s diamond pad behaves in the same manner as the buttons do when in MIDI banks; each of
the four buttons can act as momentary switches or toggle switches.
• Each of the four diamond pad buttons can output MIDI notes.
• The specic MIDI note each button outputs, and whether the buttons are momentary or toggle
switches, is set in the K-Mix Editor’s MIDI Tab.
• When set to “momentary”, the buttons will output a MIDI note with a velocity of 127 when
pressed, then output a MIDI note with a velocity of 0 when released.
• When set to “toggle”, the buttons will output a MIDI note with a velocity of 127 the rst time the
button is pressed (toggled on), then output a MIDI note with a velocity of 0 the next time it is
pressed (toggled off).
• The button’s LED will light up red when pressed (or toggled on), and will return to green when
released (or toggled off).
4.3.2.2 – DIAMOND PAD IN MIX BANK
K-Mix is able to output a few special MIDI messages when in the Mix bank. Whenever K-Mix is in the Mix
bank, the diamond pad buttons will output MCU (Mackie Control Universal) transport control messages.
• The diamond pad buttons are labelled with the corresponding transport control message they
output when pressed.
• = Play, = Stop, = Rewind, and = Record,.
• K-Mix will only output these transport messages when in the Mix bank; it will output standard MIDI
notes when in any of the three MIDI banks.
4.3.2.3 – MIDI EXPANDER OUTPUT
If a MIDI Expander is connected to K-Mix, all MIDI output by K-Mix will be sent out of the MIDI
Expander’s MIDI Out jack (in addition to sending to Port 3: K-Mix Control Surface).
MIDI can also be sent directly out the Expander’s MIDI Out jack from a connected computer/tablet by
sending MIDI to Port 2: K-Mix Expander.
