the LED state to turn off, thus overtaking the last message that was sent to change the state of the
momentary button. A physical press will always take priority over the control messages.
4.3.4.4 – MIDI CONTROL WHEN NOT IN A MIDI BANK
All MIDI bank parameters may be controlled via external MIDI regardless of the bank K-Mix is currently
in. If you are in the Mix bank, all three MIDI banks may be controlled via external MIDI messages; there
will be no visual indication that something has changed, but upon returning to the MIDI banks you will
see that the faders, rotaries, or buttons have updated.
4.3.5 – MIDI INPUT VIA MIDI EXPANDER
It is possible to control K-Mix’s Mix bank parameters via a connected MIDI Expander. Any MIDI sent from
an external MIDI device into the Expander’s MIDI IN jack will be used to control K-Mix. It is not possible,
however, to control the MIDI bank parameters from the MIDI Expander.
4.3.5.1 – CHANGING PRESETS
Program change messages sent to the MIDI Expander’s MIDI IN jack can be used to change the
currently loaded preset.
• Program change 1–12 will load presets 1–12 (A–L), respectively.
• Program change messages must be sent on MIDI channel 16; program changes on any other
channel will be ignored by K-Mix.
4.3.5.2 – CONTROLLING THE MIX BANK
There is full control of the Mix bank parameters via input to the MIDI Expander. The specic messages
used to control the Mix bank are exactly the same as the messages used when controlling K-Mix from a
computer; these messages are detailed in section 4.3.3 – External MIDI Control Of Mix Bank.
4.3.5.3 – CONTROLLING THE MIDI BANKS
Control of K-Mix’s MIDI banks via the MIDI Expander is not supported. You may only control K-Mix’s Mix
bank parameters from messages sent to the MIDI Expander’s MIDI IN jack.
