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 All Access to controller 8 on the same MIDI channel
would allow for an expression pedal connected to the PEDAL 1 jack on the All
Access 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 All Access.
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 All Access instant access switch, each time the
instant access switch is pressed, an "on" or "off" controller value will be sent from
the All Access 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, Page 3 - 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 "ð" switch to access the second page
of the MIDI program, Control Number Assignment. (If the All Access is
not already in the MIDI editing mode, press "2ND", then "MIDI" followed
by "ð" once.)
() Use the "INC" and "DEC" switches directly below the displayed instant
access switch to select the switch or pedal to which control 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 assigned to the selected
switch/pedal.
Repeat steps through 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 All Access™.
