9.4 The ME-35T interface screen
This screen is specifically used to remotely control the Akai ME35T
Audio/Midi Trigger unit. This product accepts 8 inputs from electronic
drum trigger pads or other input devices and converts them to midi
"note on" messages to remotely trigger drum sound generators. The fast
response and wide range of controls on this device make it particularly
well suited to the needs of the
professional drummer. This screen simplifies the process of interfacing the
ME-35T to the MPC60, and the settings on this screen may be saved in
MPC60 parameter files.
Selecting option 3 from the MIDI menu presents the following
screen:
The MPC60 stores all settings for each of the eight inputs of two ME35T
units in its internal memory. These settings are retained with the power
removed and may also be saved in "Parameter" type disk files. When the
above screen is first selected, the screen data fields contain these internal
settings. To view the ME-35T's settings for the selected input on the screen,
press <Load from>, and this action will overwrite the MPC60's internal
settings for the selected input. To change any settings, first make the change
in the data field, then press <Send to> - this will send all data for the
selected input out to the ME-35T. The following is a description of the data
fields:
• MIDI IN: This field sets which of the 2 midi input jacks, 1 or 2,
is currently used to connect to the midi output of the ME-35T.
• OUT: This field sets which of the 4 midi output jacks, 1 - 4, is
currently used to connect to the midi input of the ME35T.
• UNIT: There may be either one or two ME-35T units connected,
providing a maximum of 16 trigger inputs (8 inputs per unit).
This field selects which unit is currently being adjusted or
viewed (1 or 2). All lower data fields on this screen refer to unit
1 or 2, depending on the selection
