Using Micro Express Console
About Micro Express console
Micro Express Console serves as a “control center”
for the Micro Express. For example, you can make
changes to the synchronization settings, filter some
data on a particular input or output, or route MIDI
data from any MIDI device to any other MIDI
device connected to the Micro Express.
This chapter takes you through the process of
opening Micro Express console for the first time.
When do you need to use the console?
The only time you need to use the Micro Express
console program is when you would like to make
changes to the settings in the Micro Express. If you
just want to use it with a MIDI sequencer, all you
need to do is run your sequencer. You don’t need to
run the console at all in this case. You only need to
use the console if you want to program user presets
to suit your specific needs.
Familiarity with Windows
®
In explaining how to use Micro Express console,
this chapter assumes that you are already familiar
with the standard Windows interface conventions,
such as how to select options using check boxes
and radio buttons, how to type and edit text, and so
forth.
Opening Micro Express console
The primary “command centers” of Micro Express
console are the toolbar (along the top of the main
window) and the MIDI Routing window. The
toolbar gives you quick access to important
Console functions while the MIDI Routing
window displays current MIDI processing configu-
ration. (See Figure 6-1.)
