6. Set up the MIDI sequencer as instructed below, and set it in record standby mode.
1
Set the MIDI sequencer so that it will record MIDI messages transmitted from the DPS16.
2
Turn off the MIDI thru function.
3
Set the sequencer so that it will synchronize to the external MIDI clock.
✐
TIP :
To prevent the recorded snapshot from being erased from the sequence track, it is recommended that a
track that did not record a snapshot be selected.
7. Start playing the DPS16 from the beginning.
The DPS16 transmits the MIDI clock to the MIDI sequencer, and the MIDI sequencer synchronizes to the
clock. If you play the song from the top, the snapshot will be sent to the DPS16, and the mix parameters on the
DPS16 will be changed accordingly.
8. Use the channel faders, [PAN] controls, and [MASTER] fader on the top panel, or use Mixer mode to
adjust the mix parameters.
As the mix parameter settings change, the corresponding Control Change messages are output from the MIDI
OUT connector and recorded on the MIDI sequencer.
➸
NOTE :
Mix parameters that can be transmitted as the Control Change messages include only the LEVEL/
PAN parameters of TRACK MIX channels (1–16) and INPUT MIX channels (1–8, DL / DR), and the MASTER
LEVEL parameter.
9. When recording of the mix automation is completed, stop the DPS16 and MIDI sequencer.
10.To play back the mix automation, perform the following settings (
1
–
3
) on the MIDI sequencer, and
set it in playback standby mode.
1
Set the track that recorded the mix automation for playback.
2
Match the MIDI transmit channel of that track to the DPS16’s MIDI receive channel specified in
step 4 (
Control via MIDI
field setting).
3
Set up the sequencer so that it will synchronize to an external MIDI clock.
11.Play the DPS16 from the beginning.
The DPS16 transmits MIDI clock to the MIDI sequencer, and the MIDI sequencer synchronizes the DPS16.
After sending the snapshot to the DPS16, the MIDI sequencer sends the mix automation data. The DPS16
changes the mix parameter settings as the song proceeds.
✐
TIP :
The table on the next page shows the DPS16’s mix parameters and the corresponding Control Change
numbers. You can enter this Control Change data directly into the MIDI sequencer to create a mix automa-
tion.
