Conguring CC Layers
These messages can be used to control software instruments within the current DAW, using the DAW’s MIDI ‘learn’ mode to
attach the Matrix controllers to instrument plug-in parameters. Alternatively, an external hardware MIDI device can be controlled
by assigning it to the output of a MIDI track in the DAW whose input is receiving the control data from a Matrix CC layer. Logic
provides a further mechanism to integrate external MIDI hardware via the capabilities of the Logic Environment.
CC Layers are unidirectional. No CC data is returned from the device to Matrix and all front panel positional indication is derived
locally, not from the device itself. Matrix controls are mapped to CC numbers as follows:
- Faders 1-16: CC’s 0-15
- V-Pots 1-16: CC’s 16-31
-
SEL switches 1-16: CC’s 64-79
- V-Sels 1-16: CC’s 80-95
Faders and V-Pots output the full range of controller values 0-127.
The
SEL and V-Sel switches emulate latched switches sending appropriate ON and OFF values as they change state:
- ON = 127,
- OFF = 0.
The ON state is indicated by the switch tally: The V-Sel switch uses the red led located beneath the V-Pot, and the
SEL switch
uses the light in the switch and the
SEL symbol in the meter bridge.
