How to write a MIDI string
Firstly, you will need to consult the user manual of the 3rd party
plug-in you wish to control remotely, in order to find the control-
ler numbers for each parameter.
Let’s say that you want to assign the Cutoff knob of the TI to
control Cutoff in the plug-in, which according to it’s user man-
ual, has MIDI number 70 assigned to it. In this case, type the fol-
lowing into the MIDI STRING field in the REMOTE page:
B0 %70 * (with spaces)
Basically, ‘B0’ makes it a MIDI CC command, where 0 = MIDI
channel 1 (the 16 channels are numbered 0-15). ‘%70’ makes it
controller number 70, and ‘*’ tells it to use the value of the
assigned knob. Don’t worry if you don’t understand the alien
language – it works, and once you’ve done it, it’s easy!
Press Enter on the computer keyboard to confirm the text.*
*When you press Enter to confirm the MIDI String, the text will
be altered to a hexadecimal number – please don’t worry about
this either! The exact description of the current knob behaviour
can be seen below the MIDI string text field.
Assigning the Soft (Value) Knobs
A nice little bonus of the TI’s display is that the names you give
the 3 Soft Knobs will appear in the display.
MIDI Channel Behaviour
Select whether or not the controller messages are sent to the
specific channel as determined by the MIDI string, or whether
this part of the string is ignored, and the messages are sent to
the currently selected channel.
