4.3.3 – EXTERNAL MIDI CONTROL OF MIX BANK
The Mix bank parameters on K-Mix are controlled by sending specic MIDI messages to the K-Mix Audio
Control port. MIDI sent to the K-Mix Expander or K-Mix Control Surface ports will not do anything related to
the Mix bank.
With the exceptions of channel soloing, fader grouping, and Aux Pre/Post switches, nearly all K-Mix
parameters that can be controlled from the hardware can be controlled via MIDI messages sent to K-Mix.
Standard MIDI messages are ranged from 0–127; since K-Mix’s Mix bank parameters come in a variety of
ranges, incoming MIDI messages will be scaled to the appropriate range for each mixer parameter.
• Fader Parameters = 0–127 (minimum to maximum)
• Rotary Parameters = 0–127 (minimum to maximum)
• Switch/Button Parameters = 0 (off); 1–127 (on)
4.3.3.1 – MIDI CHANNELS
Since there are more than 128 editable parameters on K-Mix, the MIDI messages to control them have
been spread out across different MIDI channels.
• MIDI Channel 1 = Input Channel 1 Settings
• MIDI Channel 2 = Input Channel 2 Settings
• MIDI Channel 3 = Input Channel 3 Settings
• MIDI Channel 4 = Input Channel 4 Settings
• MIDI Channel 5 = Input Channel 5 Settings
• MIDI Channel 6 = Input Channel 6 Settings
• MIDI Channel 7 = Input Channel 7 Settings
• MIDI Channel 8 = Input Channel 8 Settings
• MIDI Channel 9 = Main Output Settings
• MIDI Channel 10 = Misc. Settings (Reverb, Surround, Auxes)
When automating K-Mix parameters, MIDI data response can get backlogged if too
many messages occur simultaneously.
External MIDI messages for controlling K-Mix will ignore Pass Thru if it is enabled.
