Preparing your MIDI controller: (continued)
Rocktron MIDI Mate™
The
(HMI), but it is not the ideal MIDI controller. It will only allow you to control 5 of the 8
switching functions. In many cases, this is not too big of a deal.
Setup
We assume you have a freshly factory reset (RMM).
You will start by setting the MIDI channel. The HMI receives MIDI PC’s (program change
messages) on Channel 1, while the MIDI CC’s (control change messages) are received
on Channel 16.
Press the “2ND” button.
This lets you enter “Program Mode” on the RMM. Press Button 6 (Edit Function Select)
twice and the display will scroll “MIDI Channels” and will end at “S1CH 1”. Since the
RMM defaults to MIDI Channel 1 for PC’s, so you can press buttons 2 or 3 several
times until the display reads “B5” and set the MIDI channel to 16. Repeat this for
B6, B7, B8, and B9.
Then
You will setup the CC#’s on the RMM. With “2nd” still selected, press Button 6 three
times to set the controller numbers for Buttons 5-9. The display will read “Pedl Off”.
Scroll to “BTN5” with Buttons 5-6 and set the desired control number you would like
to assign to Button 5. The default CC’s for the HMI are
To store a preset to the RMM:
Make sure “2ND” is
not
lit. Press the “Access” button until the “Controller” LED is lit. This
makes the top 5 buttons have direct control over the HMI outputs with 5 presets on the
bottom. Press the preset you would like to edit, for example Preset 0. Set the 5 outputs
to the desired state. Press the “2ND” button and then button “4” (store) to save the preset.
To store a preset to the HMI:
Press the preset button you wish to edit on the RMM, for example, Preset 0. With Preset 0
recalled, set the 8 outputs how you would like them with buttons 1-8 on the RMM.
Then press either the “Store Preset” button on the HMI or send MIDI CC#95.
Rocktron MIDI Mate™ (RMM) will work great with the HT MIDI Interface
Clean - 80 Od1 - 81 Od2 - 82
Reverb - 83 Sw 1- 84 Sw 2 - 85 Sw 3 - 86 Sw 4 - 87. Since you can only control 5 of
the 8 functions on the HMI with the RMM, we suggest the following settings when used
with a Blackstar™ : BTN5 - 80 (Cln) BTN6 - 81 (Od1) BTN7 - 82 (Od2) BTN8 - 83 (Rvb)
BTN9 - 84 (Sw 1 Tip). Program them how it works best for your setup.
