Controller Features and Settings
Learning how to effectively and creatively use the
many controllers on your InSpire-air is crucial to
using this instrument to its full potential. Each of
the faders, knobs, and pads can be programmed
with MIDI effects and can be assigned to different
MIDI channels. You may either use “Mackie-
Control” protocol or map your own MIDI
assignment by using “iMap” – ICON MIDI mapping
software.

Faders
There are nine faders on InSpire-air, eight in a group and one that is offset to
the right. Fader 9 is the generally-accepted control for master volume.
You can assign any one of 119 different MIDI CC numbers to any fader, although
we recommend keeping Fader 9 set to volume (CC 07), for volume control. CC
numbers 120 to 127 are non-linear parameters, and cannot be controlled by a
linear fader.
Initially, all faders are set to control volume (CC 07). All faders have a minimum
value of 0 and a maximum value of 127. When InSpire-air is first turned on, the
faders are all on full, or sending a MIDI value of 127.
Michael Says: ”If you want the panel to look the way it is preset at the
factory, move all the faders up full BEFORE you turn
InSpire-air on. NULL mode will prevent these 127's from
being transmitted, but it is nice to know that the panel
looks the way it is set. And, if you want to simulate “Omni”
mode, set all the faders, knobs and pads to channel 1, and
use global channel 1 as well.”
