10 - MIDI—MIDI Faders
10–4
10.5MIDI Faders
Another “device” which may be selected for external
control from the
Machine Ctrl
screen is
the
MIDI Faders
“device”.
Here, the “Device ID” is a two-digit hexadecimal
number, corresponding to a Controller, as defined by
the MIDI Specification.
When the external control screen for the MIDI Fad-
ers “device” is displayed, as in the example above,
each of the channel faders in the Master fader layer is
then used to set the Controller value.
Note that the TM-D4000 is constantly monitoring the
controller status of the controllers on all 16 channels,
so that when the Master faders are selected as the
controls for a particular MIDI Controller, they will
move to match the current values in the MIDI setup.
The fader numbers (1 through 16) correspond to the
16 MIDI channels. In the example above, since the
“ID” of the “device” has been set to 07, i.e. Channel
Volume, the sixteen channel faders in the master
layer are used as volume controls. Of course, any
continuous controller may be selected as the “device
ID”, allowing the TM-D4000 to be used as a conve-
nient general-purpose controller for a MIDI setup.
The TM-D4000 recognizes and interprets the Reset
All Controllers message (Bn 79, where n is the basic
MIDI channel).
The parameters of the internal Control Change map
are reset to:
This message only has any real meaning when the
MIDI Faders are being used.
10.6Sequenced mixing
It is not possible to use a MIDI sequencer to auto-
mate the TM-D4000, other than by sending Program
Change messages to change snapshots. Use the TAS-
CAM Automation Software for realtime control of
the TM-D4000.
10.7MIDI System Exclusive data
formats
Some of the System Exclusive formats data formats
used by the TM-D4000 are as follows. However,
there are many other System Exclusive messages
sent and received by the TM-D4000. If you wish to
know the details of these messages, please contact
your TASCAM Service Center. The more common
messages are listed below:
