2.5 Changing the Default Settings
2.5.1 Changing the MIDI Note DIP Switches
On the bottom of the LC-1X, you will find a pair of DIP switch arrays. Switches 1 to 4 of the first DIP
switch array control the MIDI channel the unit responds to while switches 5 to 7 control the DMX
address the unit transmits, which are reserved for custom configurations. The second DIP switch
array controls which MIDI notes the unit responds to.
By setting the DIP switches, you are effectively setting the MIDI note that will control the colour
green. The colours red and blue will always be the following 2 MIDI notes. For example, setting the
DIP switches to the binary value 0 (all switches in the down position), means that the unit will
respond to MIDI notes 0, 1 and 2 (C-2, C#-2 and D-2), which will be green, red and blue respectively.
To set the DIP switches correctly to the desired MIDI note, refer to the “Binary” column on the table
in section 2.5.2. These 7 number sequences represent the individual DIP switch positions. When a
DIP switch is in the up position, it is considered “1” and, when it is in the down position, it is
considered “0”. These binary codes are used to configure the unit to respond to specific MIDI notes.
For example, if only DIP switch 1 is in the up position while the 6 remaining DIP switches are in the
down position (resulting in the binary code 1000000), MIDI note 64 (E3) will control the colour green.
Therefore, MIDI note 65 (F3) and 66 (F#3) will control the colours red and blue respectively.
