Using MIDI Control Mode to Remote-Control StudioLive
StudioLive™ 16.0.2 USB
Owner’s Manual
To begin, navigate to page 4 of the System menu and use the value encoder to
assign a unique MIDI channel on which to transmit CC messages to your StudioLive.
Use the Next and Prev buttons to navigate to the FXA, FXB, and Main Output Level
fields and set the Control Change message number you wish to use to control
the output volume for each bus. You can choose any number from 0 to 127.
Next, navigate to the Mute Effects fields and choose a CC message
number to assign/unassign FXA and FXB to the Main bus.
When you are finished, each parameter on this page should have a different
CC message number next to it. With this accomplished, you simply need to
send one of the assigned Control Change messages to the StudioLive on the
designated MIDI channel, using your hardware MIDI controller or DAW.
To set the correct volume for FXA, FXB, and Main output level, your Volume
Control Change messages must include values from 0 to 127. FXA and FXB
Assign to Mains is a simple toggle message, so it is not value-dependent.
The next two sections cover setup instructions for the most popular
MIDI footswitch pedals available when this manual was written. If you
are not using one of these devices, please consult the documentation
that came with your MIDI controller to learn how to send Control
Change and Program Change messages on a given MIDI channel.

Controlling the StudioLive 16.0.2 with a Behringer FCB1010
This tutorial will show you how to quickly configure your StudioLive 16.0.2 USB so
that you can control it with a Behringer FCB1010. The setup configuration detailed
here is just an example; you can customize your own setup using these simple steps.
Each section in this tutorial will focus on a particular setup area.
In order for a FCB1010 to control a StudioLive as described below,
you must complete the steps in each section of the tutorial.
After completing this tutorial, you will have three new
presets on your Behringer FCB1010 pedal:
4
Preset 1 recalls Scene 2 on your StudioLive.
4
Preset 3 recalls “F20: High Ceilings” on FXA on your StudioLive.
4
Preset 6 allows you to control the Main bus assignment for FXA
(effectively muting and unmuting the effect in the Mains) from
Pedal 6 on your FCB1010. You also can control the Main output
volume for your StudioLive using Expression Pedal A.
Setting Up Your StudioLive to be Controlled with MIDI
First set up your StudioLive to be remotely controlled by your footpedal.
In this example, we are setting up the StudioLive to receive Scene changes
on MIDI Channel 1, FXA preset changes on MIDI Channel 2, and FXB preset
changes on MIDI Channel 3. In general, you should set up your StudioLive
so that each library (Scene, FXA, FXB) receives Program Change messages
on its own MIDI channel. The danger of having, for example, Scene recall
and FXA preset recall on the same MIDI channel is that when you change to
Scene 3, you will change the FXA preset to F3: Closet at the same time!
For our example, we also have the output levels and FXA/FXB Assign to Mains on
their own MIDI channels (Channel 4). For your setup, it is perfectly fine to have
these controls share a MIDI channel with one of the recall groups. As previously
mentioned, these parameters are controlled using Control Change messages,
