External MIDI Control
The Mastermind GT can also be controlled by an external MIDI device such as a computer, sequencer or other type of
MIDI controller. To enable this feature, set the
MIDI Rx Ch
parameter in the MIDI Settings Menu to the desired MIDI
channel. Any bank or Program Change messages received through the
Remote In
or
USB B
ports on this channel will
cause a preset change on the Mastermind GT.
The bank and program numbers are interpreted differently based on some settings:
Setlist=None
In normal bank and preset mode (no setlist active), the bank MSB, LSB and program numbers are combined to create
the desired preset number. The formula is:
(Bank MSB x 16384) + (Bank LSB x 128) + PC number = preset number
There are only 384 presets within the Mastermind GT, so only bank numbers 0 through 2 are valid. The Bank MSB
should always be set to 0 (or not sent at all), and Bank LSB should be 0, 1 or 2.
Setlist active, Bank=Song On
If you are using a setlist, and the
Bank=Song
parameter (found in the MIDI Settings Menu) is turned
on
, the Bank MSB
and Bank LSB are combined to select a song out of the current setlist. (0 = first song in setlist, 1 = second song in setlist,
etc.) The number is calculated as follows:
(Bank MSB x 128) + Bank LSB = song number
The PC number selects which preset within the song is selected (0 = first preset in song, 1 = second preset in song, etc.)
Setlist active, Bank=Song Off
If you are using a setlist, and the
Bank=Song
parameter (found in the MIDI Settings Menu) is turned
off
, the bank MSB,
LSB and program numbers are combined to create the desired preset number. The formula used is the same as in the
Setlist=None
section above.
Upon receiving bank and program change messages, the Mastermind GT will find the first song that contains the
resulting preset and will load that song and preset.
CC Link: Controlling buttons using incoming CC messages
It’s also possible to control IA buttons using CC messages sent from a computer or other MIDI controller. Each IA button
has a parameter “CC Link” that enables this feature. When you turn CC Link on, incoming CCs are compared against the
first action in each button’s action list. If the incoming CC matches the channel and CC number assigned to the first
action in the action list, the button will update based on the CC’s value (0-63 = off, 64-127 = on).
For example, if the first action on a button is “Device 1 / CC Toggle #14”, and MIDI device 1 is set to channel 4, then
incoming CCs on MIDI channel 4 with CC number 14 will control the button.
Please note that each device has an “Ignore Incoming CCs” setting, which when set, will disable the CC Link feature for
that device.
When an IA button is activated, the button will execute all of its actions except the first one in the list (the CC that
triggered the button in the first place). This helps to avoid endless loops between the GT and computer.
