Note:
•
Different parameters work differently with MIDI CC inputs. For example, for the Filter parameter, the
values are bi-polar with 0 at the middle of the range for the control by default. But with the Start
parameter, the values only move in one direction.
•
You can map the same MIDI control to more than one parameter on more than one pad or effect.
•
MIDI CC controls use the on-screen parameter value as a starting point. Blackbox then maps the
range of the controller to values from the starting point to the value of Starting Point +/- the Modulation
Amount parameter. For example, if the Filter parameter is set to 20%, and you set the Modulation
Amount to 15%, then the lowest value of the control will map to 5% (20% - 15%), and the highest value
of the control will map to 35% (20% + 15%).
•
MIDI CC mappings are recorded in the blackbox preset as a mapping to a specific MIDI CC number
on a specific MIDI Channel. If you swap out MIDI controllers, and the new controller uses the same MIDI
CC number and channel, it will continue to modulate the assigned parameter.
•
The MIDI channel assigned to a pad does not need to match the MIDI channel used for MIDI CC
modulation.
•
There is a maximum of 8 MIDI CC mappings per pad.
To Remove MIDI Modulation from a Parameter:
1.
Go to the parameter screen for that parameter.
2.
Touch the modulation box you want to clear.
3.
On the modulation parameters screen, turn the top left knob to set the
Source
to none.
Sharing of MIDI Input Channels
How do all of these MIDI Input channel assignments work together? Basically, they all work together, with one big
exception for Omni settings. Any channel that is assigned to anything else will no longer be included in the list of
channels responded to by a parameter with the Omni setting.
Here’s another way to think about it
:
•
If the
MIDI In
channel is assigned on a pad, that pad will always respond to MIDI notes received on that
channel.
•
The currently active pad will always respond to MIDI notes on a given MIDI channel if that channel has
been specifically assigned as the
MIDI Keys
channel on the
TOOLS
screen.
•
Pad hits and sequences will be triggered by notes on an incoming MIDI channel if that channel has been
specifically assigned as the
MIDI Pads
channel on the
TOOLS
screen.
•
If the
MIDI Keys
parameter is set to
Omni
, and the incoming notes are on a MIDI channel that has not been
specifically assigned to anything else (a pad’s
MIDI In
, or the
MIDI Pads
parameter), then the currently
selected pad will respond to notes on this channel.
•
If the MIDI Pads parameter is set to Omni, and the incoming notes are on a MIDI channel that has not been
specifically assigned to anything else (a pad’s MIDI In or the MIDI Keys parameter), then the incoming notes
will trigger pad hits and sequences.
As a result, if you, for example, ass
ign the same MIDI channel to both a specific pad’s
MIDI In
parameter and to the
MIDI Pads
parameter on the
TOOLS
screen, notes on that channel will be played by that specific pad and they will
trigger pad hits and sequences. This gives you lots of flexibil
ity but could result in confusing results if you aren’t
careful.
Use MIDI Program Change to Open a Preset
Some MIDI controllers support a MIDI command to trigger a program change. Blackbox can be configured to
respond to MIDI program changes by loading a preset. Blackbox will map the presets on the device in
alphabetical order to program numbers. The first preset on the device will be mapped to program 1. Keep in
