MIDI & the DME32
The DME32 supports the following MIDI messages:
•
Program Changes for remote scene and configuration recall.
•
Control Changes for remote parameter control.
•
Parameter Changes (System Exclusive) for remote parameter control.
Scenes and configurations can be assigned to MIDI Program Changes and then recalled
remotely from other MIDI equipment. See “Assigning Scenes & Configurations to Program
Changes” on page 244 for more information. When an Program Change message is
received, as well as recalling the assigned scene or configuration, the DME32 can trigger
another device via the GPI interface. In addition, the DME32 can transmit Program Change
messages when scenes or configurations are recalled from DME Manager, front panel con-
trols, or GPI interface. Program Change messages are transmitted only for scenes and con-
figurations that have been assigned to a Program Change.
Component parameters can be assigned to MIDI Control Changes and then controlled
remotely from other MIDI equipment. See “Assigning Component Parameters to Control
Changes” on page 246 for more information. When a Control Change message is received,
as well as controlling the assigned parameter, the DME32 can trigger another device via the
GPI interface. In addition, the DME32 can transmit Control Change messages when com-
ponent parameters are adjusted from DME Manager, front panel controls, or GPI interface.
Control Change messages are transmitted only for parameters that have been assigned to a
Control Change.
Component parameters can also be controlled by using Parameter Change messages. See
“Component Parameters & Parameter Changes” on page 248 for more information.
MIDI settings, including scene and configuration to Program Change, and component
parameter to Control Change assignments, can be saved to disk. See “Saving MIDI Settings”
on page 249 for more information.
Along with MIDI Channel settings, parameters that determine how the DME32 transmits
and receives Program Change and Control Change messages are provided on the MIDI
Setup page. See “MIDI Settings” on page 242 for more information.
MIDI Ports
The MIDI IN and OUT ports are used to transmit and
receive MIDI messages with other MIDI equipment. The
MIDI IN port receives messages, the MIDI OUT port trans-
mits them. The MIDI OUT can also be used as a THRU port
by making the appropriate ECHO settings on the MIDI
Setup window. The MIDI Channels and the type of mes-
sages that the DME32 transmits and receives can also be set on this window. See “MIDI Set-
tings” on page 242 for more information.
In a multiple-unit system, only the MIDI ports on DME32 #1 are used.
MIDI Settings
The MIDI Channels used to transmit and receive MIDI messages and the way in which the
DME32 processes Program Change, Control Change, and Parameter Change messages is
set on the MIDI Setup page.
