External MIDI Control
The Mastermind PBC can also be controlled by an external MIDI device such as a computer, sequencer or other type of
MIDI controller. To enable this feature, set the MIDI Rx Ch parameter in the MIDI Settings menu to the desired MIDI
channel. Any bank or Program Change messages received through the Remote In or USB -> PC ports on this channel
will cause a preset change on the Mastermind PBC.
The bank and program numbers are interpreted differently based on some settings:
Setlist=None
In normal bank and preset mode (no setlist active), the bank MSB, LSB and program numbers are combined to create
the desired preset number. The formula is:
(Bank MSB x 16384) + (Bank LSB x 128) + PC number = preset number
There are only 384 presets within the Mastermind PBC, so only bank numbers 0 through 2 are valid. The Bank MSB
should always be set to 0 (or not sent at all), and Bank LSB should be 0, 1 or 2.
Setlist active, Bank=Song On
If you are using a setlist, and the Bank=Song parameter (found in the MIDI Settings Menu) is turned on, the Bank MSB
and Bank LSB are combined to select a song out of the current setlist. (0 = first song in setlist, 1 = second song in setlist,
etc.) The number is calculated as follows:
(Bank MSB x 128) + Bank LSB = song number
The PC number selects which preset within the song is selected (0 = first preset in song, 1 = second preset in song, etc.)
Setlist active, Bank=Song Off
If you are using a setlist, and the Bank=Song parameter (found in the MIDI Settings Menu) is turned off, the bank MSB,
LSB and program numbers are combined to create the desired preset number. The formula used is the same as in the
Setlist=None section above.
Upon receiving bank and program change messages, the Mastermind PBC will find the first song that contains the
resulting preset and will load that song and preset.
Individual Loop and Switch Control using CC Messages
When the MIDI Rx Ch parameter is set, you can also send Continuous Controller (CC) messages to the Mastermind PBC
to remotely control the loops, function switches, outputs and buffers. The default CC numbers are as follows:
