Program Change messages and the DM-4800
The DM-4800 can receive Program Change mes-
sages to recall snapshot settings, or settings from
either of the two effect libraries.
1
Use the
MIDI
key to bring up the
PROG. CHANGE
screen (“MIDI Program Change screen” on
page 97).
2
Use the POD 3 encoder to choose which
library item to select (
SNAPSHOT
,
EFFECT1
, or
EFFECT2
).
3
The screen shows 32 programs at a time. Use
the POD 4 encoder to select which group of 32
programs will be shown.
4
Use the cursor keys and wheel to select and set
incoming program change numbers (
PROG No.
),
—
0
through
127
; the bank (
LIBRARY BANK
) —
P1
for preset,
B1
through
B4
for the user CF card
banks; and the number in the library (
LIBRARY
No.
) 000 through 127.
NOTE
The effect libraries have two preset banks - these are
labeled as
P1
and
P2
here.
Setting the MIDI channels
To allow the pro-
gram changes to be made independently for the three
types of library recall, select different MIDI channels
for the snapshot and effect libraries using the
MIDI CH
SETUP
block at the top left of the screen.
Batch setup
In order to assign a group of contigu-
ous program change values to a contiguous group of
library entries in the same bank, use the
BATCH SET UP
block at the lower left of the screen.
•
Select the starting and ending incoming Pro-
gram Change numbers (
PROG No.
). You must
press
ENTER
to confirm these values.
•
Select the library bank (
P1
or
B1
through
B4
)
for the batch process.
•
Select the starting Library slot number
(
LIBRARY No.
). The highest library slot number
is automatically determined from the Pro-
gram Change values set earlier.
TIP
It is possible to ignore a range of incoming Program
Change values by setting the Library slot number to ---
in the
BATCH SETUP
portion of the screen.
•
When all values have been set, move the cur-
sor to the on-screen
SET
button and press
ENTER
.
NOTE
Program Change messages are sent and received
through USB MIDI port 4. Enable this port in the
MIDI
SETUP
screen (“MIDI port switching and filtering” on
page 96) or the MIDI input and filter switches for the
physical MIDI ports.
MIDI Implementation Charts
The following charts provide details of the MIDI
implementation for the physical
MIDI IN
and
MIDI
OUT
ports, as well as for the MIDI data sent and
received over the USB connection to a personal
computer.
