MIDI Machine Control
MIDI Machine Control (MMC) messages are used by some devices and software
to simulate the controls that any analog tape recorder would have, such as Stop,
Play, and Record. Not all soft/hardware will respond to MMC messages, so look
for the section on this topic in the manual for whatever software or hardware
device you are using with InSpire-air. It will tell you what functions can be
operated with the MMC buttons on InSpire-air.

The MMC message is a SysEx message. (See the MIDI glossary for more details.)
The device ID for InSpire-air is 127, the standard MIDI default. Your soft/hardware
can be configured to accept this device ID, if it does not already recognize the
default 127 value. The CC numbers for these controls are
rewind = 05
fast forward = 04
stop = 01
play = 02
record = 06
35
When you press the Rewind button, <<, “rd” will
appear on the LCD and your recording will rewind.
The arrow-right key is used because that is the
direction the tape on an analog recorder would
move during rewind. When you press >>, “FF” will
appear on the LCD.
The (black square ) is stop. When you press it
“St” will appear. The > is play. “PL” will appear on
the LCD. The (red circle ) is record. Pressing it
makes “rC” appear on the LCD.
