Buttons Mode (Buttons)
IfyousettheButtonsparametertoOn,pressinganybuttonsonthePC3willgenerateSystem
Exclusive(SysEx)messagesthataresenttotheMIDIOutport.Thisenablesyoutodotwo
things:controlaremotePC3,and/orrecordsequencesofprogrammingbuttonpressestoa
sequenceror
SysExsoftwarepackage.
IfyouhavetheMIDIInportofanotherPC3connectedtothefirstone’sMIDIOutport,the
secondinstrumentwillrespondtoeverybuttonpressonthefirstinstrument,justasifyouwere
pressingthebuttonsofthesecondone.Keepinmindthatboth
devicesmustbeinexactlythe
samestate(thesamepageinthesamemode,withidenticallistsofRAMobjects)whenyoustart.
Otherwisethebuttonpressesyoumakeonthefirstinstrumentmayexecuteotherfunctionson
thesecondinstrument.
Again,it’simportanttokeepinmindthatthe
stateofyourPC3mustbeidenticaltoitsstate
whenyourecordedthesequenceofbuttonpresses.Ifyou’veaddedordeletedanyobjects
storedinRAM, forexample,thesequenceofbuttonpresseswillselectdifferentobjectswhen
youplaybackthebuttonpresssequence.
NOTE:Makesurethis
parameterissettoOffbeforeyouinitiateaSysExdumpofanykind.Ifthis
parameterisonwhenyoustartadump,thebuttonsyoupresstobeginthedumpwillalsogenerateSysEx
messages.
