Remote Control
P3 provides a number of remote control options.
To activate these, you must enable the reception of remote control messages on a special MIDI channel.
This is done using the “Enable P3 RemCon RX” User Conf option.
The remote control channel is selected in a similar way to the track and record input channels - see the
section on MIDI channel selection for the “rem” channel.
User Interface Controls
The User Interface Controls are a set of MIDI controller messages which allow you to access P3 user
interface functions remotely.
For example, if you are a MIDI guitarist, you could configure a MIDI foot controller to give you control
over bank selection, track status, track selection for real-time record and record options.
In this way you can use P3 as a “hands-free MIDI looper”.
The table below shows the MIDI controllers available for UI control:
CC # Remote Function Data Format
12 select/exit record track 0 - 7
13 toggle record options 0 = live/ready; 1= Dub; 2 = FTS; 3 = ties
14 enable track 0 - 7
15 mute track 0 - 7
16 toggle track 0 - 7
17 bank select 0 - 11
18 multi-function track select 0 - 7
For each of the controls that take a data value from 0 to 7, that corresponds to the track number minus 1.
The bank select control data byte corresponds to the required bank number minus 1.
For example, to mute track 5, assuming a remote MIDI channel setting of channel 1, the MIDI string
would be:
B0 0F 04
B0 MIDI CC on channel 1
0F hex for controller number 15
04 track number 5; 5 – 1 = 4
Controller number 13, for “toggle record options”, toggles the record options in the same way as each
of the record mode soft-keys shown.
