MIDI
This chapter explains how to transmit MIDI messages from an external device to the CL series console
to control the CL console’s parameters, and how to send out MIDI messages from the CL console as you
operate the unit.
MIDI functionality on the CL series console
The CL series console can use MIDI to perform the following operations:
■ Program Change transmission and reception
When you execute a specific event (scene/effect library recall) on the CL series console, a Program
Change message (a number that is assigned to the event) can be transmitted to an external device.
Conversely, the corresponding event can be executed when a Program Change message is received from
an external device.
■ Control Change transmission and reception
When you execute a specific event (fader, knob, or key operation) on the CL series console, the
corresponding Control Change message can be transmitted to an external device. Conversely, events
can be executed when Control Change messages are received from an external device. This allows you
to record fader and key operations on a MIDI sequencer or other external device, and play them back
later.
■ Parameter Change (SysEx) transmission and reception
When specific events (fader, knob, or key operations, changes in system settings or user settings) are
executed, “Parameter Change” SysEx (system exclusive) messages can be transmitted to an external
device. Conversely, events can be executed when Parameter Changes are received from an external
device.
Using this capability, CL operations can be recorded and played back on a MIDI sequencer or other
external device. In addition, changes in system and user settings can be received and executed by
another CL console.
NOTE
You can select the port used for transmission and reception of MIDI messages from the rear
panel MIDI IN/OUT connectors or an I/O card installed in a slot 1. All of the functionality described
in this section will be available on the port you select.
Basic MIDI settings
You can select the type of MIDI messages the CL series console will transmit and receive, the MIDI port
that will be used, and the MIDI channel.
1. In the Function Access Area, press the SETUP button to access the SETUP screen.
2. In the center of the screen, press the MIDI/GPI button to access the MIDI/GPI
popup window.
This window includes several pages, which you can switch among using the tabs located at the
bottom of the window.
