MIDI, Page 2 of 7 - Control Number Assignment

The second page of the MIDI program, Control Number Assignment,

allows for control numbers and MIDI channels to be assigned to instant

access switches and pedals.

This feature allows for a pedal or instant access switch to control a specific

parameter of another MIDI device. For example, if the Gain parameter

of a rocktron Chameleon™ preamp was mapped to controller number 8,

assigning the P1 (Pedal 1) parameter of the MIDI raider to controller 8

on the same MIDI channel would allow for an expression pedal connected

to the PeDal 1 jack on the MIDI raider to continuously control the gain

level of the Chameleon™. In addition, multiple parameters assigned to the

same controller will allow you to control all of the assigned parameters

simultaneously. It is important that the control numbers and MIDI channels

match between the parameters to be controlled on the outboard MIDI

device and the pedal or instant access switch on the MIDI raider.

similarly, assigning a control number to an instant access switch will also

allow you to control a specific parameter of another MIDI device. Once

a parameter (or multiple parameters) of another MIDI device is mapped

to the same controller number assigned to an MIDI raider instant access

switch, each time the instant access switch is pressed, an “on” or “off”

controller value will be sent from the MIDI raider and toggle between

two parameter values. The parameter values that are toggled between are

determined by the control value sent each time the instant access switch

is pressed (see MIDI, - Control Number Assignment). If specific control

values are not assigned by the user, pressing the instant access switch will

toggle between the highest and lowest values for that parameter.

To assign control numbers to switches/pedals:

() With the 2nD l.e.D. still lit, press the "" switch to access the

second page of the MIDI program, Control Number Assignment.

(If the MIDI raider is not already in the MIDI editing mode, press

“2nD”, then “MIDI” followed by “" once.)

() Use the "InC" and "DeC" switches directly below the displayed

instant access switch to select the switch or pedal to which con-

trol numbers and channels will be assigned. (Only those switches

which are configured as instant access switches will be accessible.)

() Use the "InC" and "DeC" switches directly below the displayed

MIDI channel to select the MIDI channel to be assigned to the

selected switch or pedal.

() Use the "InC" and "DeC" switches directly below the currently

displayed control number to select the control number to be as-

signed to the selected switch/pedal.

Repeat stepsthrough for each of the instant access switches/pedals.

Note:

When operating in BANK or

SONG mode, the status of each

instant access switch is stored

in the MIDI Raider.
