Complex and intricate chases with
varying
rates
may easily be created by recording the
sequence of notes together with the timing and
duration of each note on a MIDI sequencer.
16.6 CONTROLLING A MIDI DEVICE FROM
THE MAXIM.
The maXim can send MIDI commands to a MIDI
device allowing it to play sounds or trigger other
MIDI controlled events when certain maXim
buttons are pressed.
When a maXim button is pressed, a MIDI note
ON is transmitted for the MIDI note and channel
to which the button is mapped (see table below).
When a maXim button is released, a MIDI note
OFF is transmitted for the MIDI note and
channel to which the button is mapped.
When the EDIT wheel is rotated, a “Pitch
Bender” message is transmitted on MIDI
channel 1.
•
Clockwise EDIT wheel movements = Pitch
UP message
Anticlockwise EDIT wheel movements = Pitch
DOWN message
The following table shows maXim buttons and their corresponding MIDI note numbers and MIDI
channels for both MIDI transmit and receive.
The table shows the buttons of a maXim M. The maXim S only has 12 red f/a buttons and 12 yellow f/a
buttons.
