4.3.4 – EXTERNAL MIDI CONTROL OF MIDI BANKS
The MIDI bank parameters on K-Mix are controlled by sending MIDI messages to the K-Mix Control Surface
port. MIDI sent to the K-Mix Audio Control or K-Mix Expander ports will not do anything related to the
MIDI banks.
For each MIDI bank, K-Mix allows for control of:
• Fader position
• Rotary position
• Button state
The specic MIDI CCs and MIDI notes for controlling these parameters will mirror whatever CCs/notes and
channel each fader, rotary, or button is set to output; these are set in the K-Mix Editor’s MIDI Tab. If, for
example, a fader was set to send its position out on CC 24, MIDI channel 5, then sending a CC 24 message
on MIDI channel 5 to the K-Mix Control Surface port will control that fader.
4.3.4.1 – CONTROLLING FADERS
Faders in any of K-Mix’s three MIDI banks are capable of being controlled via incoming MIDI CC
messages. The exact number and MIDI channel for controlling each fader mirrors whatever the fader is
set to output; this is set in the K-Mix Editor’s MIDI Tab.
• MIDI CC values are ranged from 0–127; when receiving this, 0–127 will be scaled across the entire
fader range.
• 0 = bottom of the fader; 127 = top of the fader. Just like how the faders output MIDI.
• The fader LEDs will automatically update and follow any incoming CC messages.
4.3.4.2 – CONTROLLING ROTARIES
Like the faders, all rotaries in K-Mix’s three MIDI banks are capable of being controlled via incoming
MIDI CC messages. The exact CC number and MIDI channel for controlling each rotary mirrors whatever
the rotary is set to output; this is set in the K-Mix Editor’s MIDI Tab.
• MIDI CC values are ranged from 0–127; when receiving this, 0–127 will be scaled across the rotary.
• 0 (minimum value) = approximately 7 o’clock; 127 (maximum value) = approximately 5 o’clock. Just
like how the rotaries output MIDI.
• The rotary LEDs will automatically update and follow any incoming CC messages.
4.3.4.3 – CONTROLLING BUTTONS
All mode buttons, channel select buttons, and the diamond pad buttons can be controlled via incoming
MIDI messages. Unlike the faders and rotaries, which respond to MIDI CC messages, the buttons
respond to MIDI note messages. The exact note number and MIDI channel for controlling each button
mirrors whatever note and channel the button is set to output; this is set in the K-Mix Editor’s MIDI Tab.
• The MIDI note’s velocity value is used to determine the on/off state of the button’s LED. 0 = off;
1–127 = on.
• If the button is set to “Momentary” instead of “Toggle”, a physical press of the button will trigger
