9. M32C MIDI Implementation
MIDI RX > SCENES
Whenever program change messages in the range 1-100 are received on MIDI
CH01, the corresponding scene of the M32C internal show memory will be loaded.
This requires the following preconditions:
• • Setup / remote
> MIDI In/Out check marks must be set according to the connection on
which MIDI input will be accepted (via physical MIDI connectors on M32C or
DL16, or via DN32-USB Card)
> MIDI In/Out check mark must be set for “Enable MIDI Scene Recall”
• • Setup / global
> when tick mark “Con rm Pop-Ups” / “Scene Load” is active, also MIDI
scene recalls will only become active after manual con rmation
> if you prefer activating scenes via MIDI program changes immediately,
un-check the “Con rm Pop-Ups” / “Scene Load” tick mark
• • Scenes View / home
> valid scenes must be stored in the internal M32C show le. It is not
possible to recall empty scenes.
> the scope of changes applied by a MIDI scene recall depends on the Scene
Safes, Parameter Safes and Channel Safes settings, same as with recalling
the scene locally.
MIDI TX > SCENES
Every scene can be assigned one speci c MIDI command/event. Each time the
scene is loaded the MIDI command will be sent out once. Possible choices for MIDI
commands/events to be found on Scenes View/MIDI page:
• • O > no message will be sent upon scene load
• • Program Change > select the MIDI Channel and the Program Number
(using knobs 4/5 at the main display)
• • Control Change > select the MIDI Channel, Controller number and value
(using knobs 4-6 at the main display)
• • Note > select the MIDI Channel, Note number and velocity (using knobs 4-6
at the main display) > will send out a Note On command directly followed by
the same Note O command
MIDI RX > ASSIGN
Whenever assignable controls are set up for transmitting MIDI commands,
reception of that same command (status or continuous) will be re ected on the
respective assignable control element (button light, encoder LED collar).
MIDI TX > ASSIGN
We restricted the user assignable MIDI commands to some generic elements,
in order to keep things simple enough:
• • Encoders 1-4 > can be assigned to sending control changes, program
changes or notes
> parameters are currently ‘Channel’ and ‘Value’
> for CC and Note commands ‘Value’ = controller number/note number,
and the encoder rotation determines the controller value/note-on velocity
> for Program Changes only the channel is speci ed, and the encoder
rotation determines the program number
• • Buttons 5-12 > can be operated in two modes, ‘MIDI Push’ (non-latching)
for momentary commands, or ‘MIDI Toggle’ (latching) for static commands
MIDI Push:
> can be assigned to sending control changes, program changes or notes
> parameters are currently ‘Channel’ and ‘Value’
> for CC and Note commands ‘Value’ 0…127 = controller number/note
number, and the button momentarily toggles the controller value/note-on
velocity to 127 (depressed)à0 (released]
> for Program Changes ‘Value’ 0…127 = program/preset number, that will
be sent upon pressing the button
MIDI Toggle:
> can be assigned to sending control changes or notes
> parameters are currently ‘Channel’ and ‘Value’
> for CC and Note commands ‘Value’ 0…127 = controller number/note
number, and the button toggles the controller value/note-on velocity
between value/velocity 127 and 0 with every operation
• • n.b.1) The ASSIGN section also re ects/displays reception of the same MIDI
commands that are selected for transmission
• • n.b.2) The MIDI commands assigned to the ASSIGN controls can be
transferred to and from stage via AES50 using the DL16 stage box MIDI I/O
MIDI RX/TX > REMOTE
Enables a speci c form of bi-directional MIDI communication for remote
controlling a computer DAW application using control elements of the M32C
console. REMOTE can be used in 3 modes, Mackie Control, HUI and raw MIDI CC
(raw) controllers (see Setup/remote)
• • MIDI CC (raw) selected and Remote is enabled+active, the group
section buttons
> will emit the following messages on Channel 01:
Group 1-8 SELECT = Note 64-71, on(127)/o (0), push non-latching
Group 1-8 SOLO = CC 32-39, on(127)/o (0), toggle latching
Group 1-8 MUTE = CC 40-47, on(127)/o (0), toggle latching
Sends On Fader = CC 48, on(127)/o (0), toggle latching
Group DCA 1-8 = Note 72, on(127)/o (0), push non-latching
BUS 1-8 = Note 73, on(127)/o (0), push non-latching
BUS 9-16 = Note 74, on(127)/o (0), push non-latching
MTX 1-6 = Note 75, on(127)/o (0), push non-latching
MIDI CC (raw) selected and Remote is enabled+active, then group section
faders 1-8
> will emit CC #0-7, value 0…127 messages on Channel 01
• • HUI selected and Remote is enabled+active, then the group fader section
and buttons will emulate the HUI control surface protocol, i.e. for ProTools.
> SELECT/SOLO 1-8 buttons will select or solo the corresponding track in the
DAW, in banks of 8 tracks
> Sends On Fader = enables touch-writing a fader automation on selected
track, track automation mode in DAW must be ‘touch’, (latching)
> use the layer buttons to determine the function assigned to the MUTE 1-8
buttons, the LED displays indicate that function
- Group DCA 1-8 = allows to move the bank selection of tracks in a DAW,
(push non-latching)
- BUS 1-8 = allows to set DAW tracks to ‘Record Ready’, (push non-latching)
- BUS 9-16 = enables using the MUTE buttons for track mute in the DAW,
(latching)
- MTX 1-6 = enables using the MUTE buttons for transport controls in the
DAW, (latching)
• • MACKIE CTRL selected and Remote is enabled+active, then the group fader
section and buttons will emulate the Mackie Control Universal protocol
> SELECT/SOLO 1-8 buttons will select or solo the corresponding track in the
DAW, in banks of 8 tracks
> Sends On Fader = enables touch-writing a fader automation on selected
track, track automation mode in DAW must be ‘touch’ or ‘latch’, (latching)
> use the layer buttons to determine the function assigned to the MUTE 1-8
buttons, the LED displays indicate that function
- Group DCA 1-8 = allows to move the bank selection of tracks in a DAW,
(push non-latching)
- BUS 1-8 = allows to set DAW tracks to ‘Record Ready’, (push non-latching)
- BUS 9-16 = enables using the MUTE buttons for track mute in the
DAW, (latching)
- MTX 1-6 = enables using the MUTE buttons for transport controls in the
DAW, (latching)
