Chapter 12: MIDI applications
Recording and playing back a scene memory of the mix parameters
The DPS12 can transmit and receive a mix scene memory (mix parameter settings) as a series of MIDI Control
Change messages. If you record this scene memory to a MIDI sequencer, you can play back the same mix settings
each time you play the MIDI sequencer.
1. Use MIDI cables to connect the MIDI IN/OUT jacks of the DPS12 to the MIDI OUT/IN jacks of a
MIDI sequencer.

2. Create a mix to be recorded as a scene memory, while playing the DPS12.
3. Use the
SELECT
π
[F1] key or the SELECT
†
[F2] key in Mixer mode to recall the MIDI CONTROL
parameters.
4. Move the cursor to the
Control via MIDI
field, then turn the [JOG] dial to select a MIDI channel
that transmits Control Change messages.
5. In the same manner, move the cursor to the
Tx mixer changes:
field, then turn the [JOG] dial to
select a MIDI channel that receives Control Change messages.
If the
Control via MIDI field and Tx mixer changes: field are set to OFF, Control Change messages are
not transmitted or received.
6. Set the MIDI sequencer so that it will record Control Change messages transmitted from the DPS12.
✐
TIP : At this time, turn off the MIDI thru function of the MIDI sequencer (the function that allows MIDI
messages received at the MIDI IN jack to be output from the MIDI OUT jack unaltered).
