USING MIDI
Here you will find the information on controlling the Blue Nebula using MIDI messages sent from
another device such as a MIDI foot controller or a MIDI sequencer running on a computer or laptop.
By connecting the MIDI Out from your computer, MIDI keyboard or foot controller to the
MIDI IN
on
the Blue Nebula using a standard MIDI cable, you will be able to send program change (PC) messages to
select different user patches.
MIDI PROGRAM NUMBER
BLUE NEBULA PATCH
0 – 127
User Patch 0-127
Table 1: MIDI Implementation
Note that some MIDI sequencers use MIDI program numbers from 1-128 whereas the MIDI standard
specifies values of 0-127. Blue Nebula uses program change values from 0-127 which matches the User
Patch numbering. Many sequencer programs have an option to use 1-128 or 0-127 values so you may be
able to set it up to match the Blue Nebula. If not, to select a specific preset you would need to send a
program change (PC) value one higher than the required preset. For example, to select User Patch 16
you would send a PC 17 command.
Just experiment and you will find out the way your sequencer works!
