4. MIDI Volume Control
________________________________________________________
4.1 Connections for the Volume Control
To use the volume control, you must "patch" it into your signal path. There are no internal audio
connections to or from the MIDI volume control. The volume control can be used for stereo
volume, panning, or two separate mono volumes depending on your connections and the type of
MIDI commands sent to it.
•
Stereo volume control:
Connect the left and right outputs of your source to the left and
right inputs of the volume control. The two volume control outputs are then connected to
the next device in the system.
•
Mono volume control:
Using the left inputs and outputs, connect the volume control
just like a normal volume pedal.
•
Dual mono volume control:
Connect the left and right volume control input/output
jacks independently.
•
Stereo pan control:
Connect the mono output of your source to the left volume control
input. Then connect the left
and
right volume control outputs to the next device in the
system.
To use the MIDI volume control in your System Mix Plus, you also need to plug something into
the MIDI IN jack on the rear panel that can send the appropriate MIDI commands. You have two
choices: 1) Digital Music Corporation's Ground Control or 2) something other than Ground
Control.
4.2 Using the Volume Control with Ground Control
See the Ground Control 2.1 manual or the Ground Control VCA (Volume Control) Addendum
for specific information on controlling volume from Ground Control.
4.3 Using the Volume Control without Ground Control
The System Mix Plus Volume Control responds to Continuous Controller messages on MIDI
Channel 16. The VCA responds to the following Continuous Controller commands:
007 - Stereo Volume
010 - Pan
012 - Left Volume
013 - Right Volume
