The 300 can be automated in a number of differenf ways, depending on your
applications, and on the capabiliiies of your MIDI sequencer.
The six major categorfes of MIDI Automation are:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
Using the 300’s System Exclusive transmissions to record and play individ-
ual parameter changes.
Using the 300’s Non-Registered Parameter transmissions to record and
play individual parmeter changes.
Using MIDI Program Change messages to load Setups or Effecfs.
Using MIDI Controller information and Dynamic MIDlapatches to record and
play parameter changes.
Using the 300’s System Exclusive or Non-Registered Parameter messages
that are the result of Dynamic MIDP patches. This allows you to control,
record, and play as many as five of the 300’s variable parameters simulta-
neously.
Controlling multiple 300s from a single master 300.
When using the 300’s Automation capabilities, it is good practice to put the 300
on adifferent MIDI Channel from thoseused byotherequipment inyoursystem.
This avoids the possibilify of the 300 responding to commands that aren’t really
intended for it.
The 300 will transmit System Exclusive or Non-Registered Parameter mes-
sages as you vary any of the available parameters if this function is assigned in
automation mode. As you turn the Soft knob to vary one of the 300’s effect
parameters, MIDI data in the selected outputfomat will be transmitted from the
300’s rear panel MIDI OUT connecfor as a Program Change. (All parameter
values are sent when the effect itself is changed.) This information can be
recorded on your sequencer.
To set the automation mode, use the MIDI Control page in Control mode. Press
the key under “AUTO”, and use the Soft knob to select either “SysEx” or “Non-
registered Params”. There is also an “OFF” setting to prevent unwanted MIDI
transmissions.
Once you have selected an automation mode, simply put your sequencer in!0
Re~rd,andchangethe3O~sparamete~togetthesoundsyouwa~.Whenyou
play the sequence back, the 300 will respond to the recorded informatiofl just as
if was recorded.
Note: The choice between SysEx or Non-Registered Parameters is determined
by yoursequencer’scapabilities, and yourcurentutiiizationof itsavailablefunc-
tions. Withabitof expe~mentation,andtakingintoconsiderationotherMlDldata
you need to record, you can find the best combination for your equipment.
No&: Program Change messages are transmiffed over the PARAM MIDI
channel, regardless of automation mode.
