The destination device behaviour is an important consideration when
transmitting MIDI PC messages. As well as the structural alignment of the
programs / presets the following topics may need some thought to achieve
the desired results:-
• As with MIDI CC, the PC Messages can be also transmitted manually
by turning the (Folder) Knob. The sequencer must be stopped for the
messaged to be transmitted. The behaviour at the destination may vary
per device and some may also require the transport playback to be
stopped.
• PC messages are sent per MIDI Channel.
• PC messages can be applied to steps the same way as applying CC
values. How these are received may depend on the destination device.
Some may change presets others patterns, some may change real-time
in line with Play+ sequencer, some may wait to a restarted pattern for
example.
• The external device may be completely different in the conguration of
patches than the simple 0-127 messages transmitted from Play+. Trial
and error may be needed to establish the destination structure
alignment.
• The changes applied at the destination are often with respect to the
currently selected patch or bank rather than an absolute selection.
