4.3.3.5 – CHANGING PRESETS WITH PROGRAM CHANGE MESSAGES
Program change messages sent to the K-Mix Audio Control port can be used to change the currently
loaded K-Mix preset.
• Program change 1–12 will load presets 1–12 (A–L), respectively.
• Program change messages can be on any MIDI channel, they just need to be sent to the K-Mix
Audio Control port.
4.3.3.6 – MIDI CONTROL WHEN NOT IN MIX BANK
It is entirely possible to control K-Mix’s Mix bank parameters via external MIDI messages when you are
not currently in the Mix bank (if you’re in MIDI bank 2, for example). There will be no visual indication
that parameters have changed, but they will update in the background and you will immediately hear
the change reected in audio output (assuming the change was an audible one).
4.3.4 – EXTERNAL MIDI CONTROL OF MIDI BANKS
The MIDI bank parameters on K-Mix are controlled by sending MIDI messages to the K-Mix Control Surface
port. MIDI sent to the K-Mix Audio Control or K-Mix Expander ports will not do anything related to the
MIDI banks.
For each MIDI bank, K-Mix allows for control of:
• Fader position
• Rotary position
• Button state (when set to “Momentary”)
The specic MIDI CCs and MIDI notes for controlling these parameters will mirror whatever CCs/notes and
channel each fader, rotary, or button is set to output; these are set in the K-Mix Editor’s MIDI Tab. If, for
example, a fader was set to send its position out on CC 24, MIDI channel 5, then sending a CC 24 message
on MIDI channel 5 to the K-Mix Control Surface port will control that fader.
4.3.4.1 – CONTROLLING FADERS
Faders in any of K-Mix’s three MIDI banks are capable of being controlled via incoming MIDI CC
messages. The exact number and MIDI channel for controlling each fader mirrors whatever the fader is
set to output; this is set in the K-Mix Editor’s MIDI Tab.
• MIDI CC values are ranged from 0–127; when receiving this, 0–127 will be scaled across the entire
fader range.
• 0 = bottom of the fader; 127 = top of the fader. Just like how the faders output MIDI.
• The fader LEDs will automatically update and follow any incoming CC messages.
