Standard MIDI
The Standard MIDI Commands that the console can transmit/receive
include: Note On, Note Off, Control Change, Program Change and System
Exclusive (SysEx) messages. See table on next page. These commands all
use MIDI channels which allow a MIDI controller to send commands to
MIDI receivers. There are 16 MIDI channels (0-15) available when using
Standard MIDI. To select the channel that you would like your console to
transmit/receive on, you must first select Standard MIDI, then set the
channel desired. Follow the procedure below as an example:
