Peavey PC1600X User Manual (rev-h)
The RecChn parameter is used when recording note messages into button strings. The Note Recording
Receive Channel parameter simple determines which channel notes will be accepted on. For more
information, check out the Note Stream Recording section on page 28.
MIDI TRANSMISSION DELAY
Sometimes a device can't handle MIDI data as fast as the PC1600x can generate it. This can happen when
sending scenes, dumping presets or during any other operation that sends large amounts of data. There are
two types of MIDI delay available to yon. They both default to zero and shouldn't be set otherwise unless a
problem is occurring with a receiving unit.
UTIL: DevNum RecChn
000 001
The first is a PER - SysEx message delay, which is inserted after the PC1600X sends an EOX byte (F7h).
This puts delays in between SysEx messages. The delay can be set from 0 to 100 ms, Try raising this number
in 5 ms steps if a unit chokes on SysEx data from sending scenes. (By “choking” we mean that the unit got a
MIDI receive error got hung, or dust didn't do everything that it should have.) Don't set this number higher
than needed. The maximum value of 100 ms will make a scene with 16 SysEx messages take almost 2
seconds to send.
The other type of delay is a Per-byte delay, which is inserted after every byte that the PC1600x sends. This
delay can be set from 0 to 1000 us (1 ms) in 10 us steps. If a computer or MIDI librarian is letting a buffer
overflow when you're backing up your PC1600x data. try setting this delay between 100 and 500 as needed.
(A value of 320 will essentially split the MIDI speed in half. You'll probably want to lower the delay when
you're done and only raise it when needed.
The Delay screen is displayed as follows:

Note:
These delays only affect MIDI data that the PC1600X generates internally. Data that is received from MIDI
IN to MIDI OUT is not delayed.
REMOTE BUTTON SET-UP
The 16 programmable buttons are useful for sending any type of message to just about any MIDI device.
You can access the button messages remotely by sending simple messages into the PC1600X. All you need
is a MIDI keyboard, pedal board. or any other MIDI controller that sends Program Change commands or
MIDI Note On/ Note 0 messages (i.e. “MIDI-fied” foot pedals). For example use your note pedals to play
chords instead of single notes (With preprogrammed velocity or the velocity from the pedals). Reserve keys
on your keyboard for sending SysEx messages. Or use your Program Change pedal board to send more
complex MIDI messages (like SysEx or multiple Program Changes). The possibilities are virtually unlimited.
Move to the utility screen displayed below. Pick the emulation cache (Off, Notes, PrgCh) the MIDI channel
you are sending these messages on (1-16) and the starting value (0-127). The starting value is the base note
number or base program number depending on the emulation type. The base value will emulate button #1
while the next 15 values will emulate buttons #2-#15. The incoming message will not be echoed, even if the
button is “Off” (NOTE: Middle C on a MIDI keyboard is note number 60 (3Ch1.)
