USING MIdI
The MIDI Control menu is where all MIDI related control is changed.  See 
page 26 for information about the MIDI Control menu. 
MIDI in the PCM Device series can be se tup in two basic configurations. 
Setup #1 – More Devices
This setup is designed for the user who will:
•    Use the PCM System Presets (User or Default) only for either a live or 
studio setup
•    Control more than 3 PCM Devices on the same MIDI Port
Setup #2 – More Control
This setup is designed for the user who:
•  wants to be able to control every aspect of MIDI on the PCM Device
•  Only has 1 to 3 PCM Devices
SetUP deFINItIoNS
Setup #1 – More Devices: This setup would be used in situations where you 
want to control more than 3 PCM Devices on the same MIDI port. This 
setup will control up to 16 PCM Devices. In this particular setup configura-
tion, you cannot make specific patch changes on individual machines via 
MIDI; you can only change the System Presets.  
You would arrange the MIDI Control Menu in this way: 
MIDI: ON
Sysex Device ID: 0
System MIDI Ch: 0 
(Each subsequent PCM Device would be the next number… 0 – 15.)
Machine 1 MIDI Ch: OFF
Machine 2 MIDI Ch: OFF
Machine 3 MIDI Ch: OFF
Machine 4 MIDI Ch: OFF
Setup #2 – More Control: This setup allows the user to control all the 
aspects of the PCM Device that can be controlled via MIDI. However, the 
user is limited to a maximum of 3 PCM Devices with this setup. The user 
can define the Machine Configuration on one MIDI channel, then define 
what preset will be loaded in each Machine using different MIDI channels. 
This setup also allows each Soft Row parameter on each Machine to be con-
trolled with MIDI Continuous Controllers.
You would arrange the MIDI Control Menu in this way: 
MIDI: ON
Sysex Device ID: 0
System MIDI Ch: 0
(Each subsequent PCM Device would then start on MIDI channel 5, with    
each machine as Channel +1.)
Machine 1 MIDI Ch: 1
Machine 2 MIDI Ch: 2
Machine 3 MIDI Ch: 3
Machine 4 MIDI Ch: 4
