MIDI Usage
The Y-Not can receive MIDI messages from any MIDI controller. You
can store different switch settings for MIDI program numbers 0
through 127 in MIDI banks 0 and 1. When a Program Change
message is received on the correct channel, the Y-Not will
automatically recall the saved settings for the given program
number.
To set up for MIDI use, simply connect your MIDI controller to your Y-
Not’s MIDI In jack. The Y-Not is set for MIDI Channel 1 by default.
Either make sure your MIDI controller is set up to transmit commands
on Channel 1, or use the Y-Not’s setup mode to change which MIDI
channel the Y-Not responds to. See the Setup Mode section for more
details.
To save a program setting, perform the following steps:
1.
Using your MIDI controller, select a MIDI program number.
2.
Using the Y-Not buttons, turn the A and B outputs on or off
as desired.
3.
Hold down the Write button on the Y-Not until the LEDs
flash. This should take about 3 seconds.
That’s all it takes. You can repeat this for any or all of MIDI program
numbers 1 though 128.
If the lights don’t flash after a few seconds of holding down the Write
button, it means that your Y-Not did not receive the MIDI Program
Change message. Check your MIDI cable connection, and make sure
that the MIDI controller and Y-Not are set to the same MIDI channel.
Now that your settings have been saved, you can recall your settings
by using your MIDI controller to send a Program Change message
again. The Y-Not will call up your saved settings and select the
desired active output(s) whenever it receives a MIDI Program Change
message.
