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.
The following illustration shows an example of connecting the MIDI IN/OUT connectors to
transmit and receive MIDI messages.
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
As the port used for transmission and reception of MIDI messages, you can select either the rear
panel MIDI IN/OUT connectors or an I/O card installed in 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.
NOTE
• For details on Program Change operations, refer to the following section “Using program changes
to recall scenes and library items” (page 186).
• For details on using Control Change messages, refer to “Using control changes to control
parameters” (page 188).
