10 - MIDI
The TM-D4000 is capable of acting as a MIDI con-
troller as well as responding to Program Change
commands. Each Program Change command corre-
sponds to a snapshot which is recalled.
MIDI Timecode (MTC) can be used as the timecode
base, and displayed on the time counter.
Library data may be stored to a MIDI bulk ling
device using MIDI System Exclusive, and recalled.
This includes EQ data, effect and dynamics proces-
sor data, as well as snapshot library entries. These
procedures are described in 8.1.6, “MIDI dumping
and loading of snapshot library entries” and 8.2.5,
“Naming a library entry”. See these sections for
details of this facility.
Other parameters may also be stored and recalled by
means of MIDI System Exclusive dump commands,
and these are explained below.
The TM-D4000 controls can be used to send MIDI
Control Change commands through the MIDI OUT,
as described here, using one of two methods: the
MIDI Controller and the MIDI Fader “external
devices”, selected from the Machine Control List.
All MIDI connections to and from the TM-D4000
are made in the standard way, using standard MIDI
connectors: the
MIDI IN
accepts MIDI data, the
MIDI
THRU
echoes these commands, and the
MIDI OUT
outputs those MIDI commands that originate from
the TM-D4000 (there is a soft “through” described
below).
10.1MIDI settings
The following settings affect the operation of the
TM-D4000 with regard to MIDI:
Basic Channel :
This sets the channel on which
the TM-D4000 receives Program Change messages,
etc. Use the
JOG
dial or the number keypad, fol-
lowed by the
ENTER
key, to enter the MIDI channel
from 1 to 16.
OMNI Receive :
The setting made above can be
overridden, so that the TM-D4000 will respond to
MIDI messages received on any channel (see the
note below regarding the JLC BB3).
In addition to this setting, the Omni Off (B
n
7C) and
Omni On (B
n
7D) where
n
is the basic MIDI chan-
nel) messages are also recognized and interpreted by
the TM-D4000.
RESET :
If a MIDI Reset messages is received by
the TM-D4000, there are three options: the TM-
D4000 will
Ignore
this message (it will be dis-
carded, and not used), the
Prompt User
set-
ting will produce a popup message when a Reset
message is received, allowing the choice of whether
the console should be reset or not, and Honor will
always reset the console when a
Reset
message
is received.
Output Active Sensing :
enables or disables
the reception of System Real Time Active Sensing
messages (FEh) by the TM-D4000. If Active Sensing
is enabled, and the data stream is interrupted, a
popup panel appears on the display to inform you of
the fact.
Output MTC when slaved :
When this is
turned on, the TM-D4000 will output MIDI Time-
code from the
MIDI OUT
, echoing the current time-
code source (as selected in the
OPTION
screen).
If the internal generator is running (as selected by the
Machine Control screens), MTC is always output,
regardless of the setting made here.
Merge In
→
Out :
This allows the
MIDI OUT
to
echo the data received at the
MIDI IN
, merged with
the data originated by the TM-D4000. Regardless of
this setting, the
MIDI THRU
will only re-transmit the
data received at the
MIDI IN
.
Received MTC (including full frame MTC mes-
sages) is not merged into the
MIDI OUT
.
NOTE
When a valid dump header is received, merg-
ing of MIDI data is turned off until the next
power-up. The TM-D4000 supports the MIDI
FILE DUMP, as specied in the MIDI 1.0
specications , and because of the handshak-
