Peavey DPM C8 - Chapter 7 MIDI Status; 7.0 MIDI STATUS; 7.1 MIDI INPUT MONITOR

Chapter 7 MIDI Status
The C8 includes a screen that shows the status of the various MIDI input and output ports, and a second screen
that reads out data appearing at either MIDI input.
7.0 MIDI STATUS
To access the Status page, press the Status function button. The following screen appears:
Midi
Status

IN

I liPKIIM I
OUT

Filter;
HO
A pulse icon appears below any MIDI in connector receiving MIDI data or any MIDI out connector transmitting
MIDI data. In this example, MIDI data is being received at MIDI In 1 and MIDI data is being transmitted from
the C8 over MIDI out connectors 1 and 3
Soft button #5 will toggle the MIDI Filter parameter between YES and NO. If NO is chosen, the MIDI input
monitors (below) will show all MIDI coming into the input (unfiltered). If YES is chosen, the MIDI data will
be filtered by the MIDI filters on the MIDI Merge screen (see section 3.0). This will allow you to, for example,
filter out notes, clocks, etc. so that they don't clutter up the stream on the LCD, making it easier to see the
occasional messages like program change and sustain pedal.
Note: The MIDI Filter parameter does not affect the Status screen’s pulse icons. It only affects the MIDI
input monitors.
7 1 MIDI INPUT MONITOR
To monitor the data appearing at MIDI Input 1 or 2, press the Monlnl and Monln2 soft buttons, respectively,
on the MIDI Status Page. A screen appears that fills up with numbers as data is received at the selected input
(the following example shows what happens when the input receives pitch bend data). Status bytes are
bracketed by square blocks.
