DEFINING AND NAMING
When a fader is selected to be edited, the first page displayed selects the function of the fader. A fader can be
assigned to the following functions:
•
No message
•
Continuous controller
•
Master fader
•
MIDI string
To set the function of a fader:
1. Access the following fader function display by pressing Edit from the main page, then moving fader 01.
Next, press ENTER.
2. Cursor right to select the function for the fader (it will blink). Press the up/down buttons to access any of the
four choices: No message, Controller, Master fader, or String.
3. Press EXIT to de-select the item. Except when "No message" is selected, access to additional parameters
and naming for this fader is available by pressing the up direction button (when the function field is not
blinking).
After assigning a function to the fader, the fader can be named. To name the fader:
1. With no parameters flashing, press the up direction button until the following page is displayed.
2. Use the left/right direction buttons to select the character in the fader name. Next, press the up/down
direction buttons, data wheel, and/or the current fader to change (edit) the character.
NO MESSAGE
A fader can have its function set to "No message." With this option, moving the fader will (of course) have no
action.
CONTINUOUS CONTROLLER
A fader can be programmed to send a continuous controller message whenever the fader moves. The MIDI
channel can be set to any specific channel, or to the main transmit channel set in the Utility section. The controller
number can be set to any value from 0 to 120.
The "Min" parameter determines the value sent when the fader is in its lower-most position next to the button. The
"Max" parameter determines the value sent when the fader is in its upper-most position. Simply exchange the
values in these two parameters to reverse the polarity of a fader.
The "mode" parameter determines how matching incoming controller messages will be handled. The three modes
are as follows:
Merge:
Incoming controller messages that match a fader are always passed through the PC 1600x. The MIDI data
generated from fader movement is merged with the data passing through the unit.
