E

ALL INIT button

Resets all MIDI messages assigned to the faders/[TRACK
SEL] keys to the initial settings. To initialize, move the
cursor to this button and press the [ENTER] key.

F

FADER button

If you turn this button on, the MIDI message assigned to
the fader of the currently selected channel will be dis-
played.
This button will automatically be turned on when you
operate the fader of a track channel.

G

SEL SW button

If you turn this button on, the MIDI message assigned to
the [TRACK SEL] key of the currently selected channel
will be displayed.
This button will automatically be turned on when you
operate the [TRACK SEL] key of a track channel.

H

LATCH/UNLATCH button

Selects how the [TRACK SEL] key of a track channel will
operate when pressed.

• LATCH ............The setting will alternate on/off each

time you press the [TRACK SEL] key.

• UNLATCH .......The setting will be on while you hold

down the [TRACK SEL] key, and will
turn off when you release the key.

I

LEARN button

When this button is on, the MIDI message received from
the MIDI IN connector will be assigned to the currently
selected fader or [TRACK SEL] key. This is a convenient
way to assign MIDI messages quickly.

J

MIDI message

This area displays (in hexadecimal form) the MIDI mes-
sage that is assigned to the currently selected fader or
[TRACK SEL] key.
You can move the cursor to each numeric box and turn the
[DATA/JOG] dial to edit the value of each byte (two-digi-
tal hexadecimal number). You can select the following val-
ues.

• 00–FF (hexadecimal)

..............Corresponds to the actual value of the

MIDI message that is transmitted.

• END.............Indicates the end of the MIDI message.

When you operate a fader or [TRACK
SEL] key, the MIDI message starting with
the first byte and ending with the byte that
precedes END will be transmitted.

• SW ([TRACK SEL] key only)

..............Indicates the on/off status of the [TRACK

SEL] key. The byte you specify as SW will
be transmitted as 7F (hexadecimal) when
the key is turned on, or 00 (hexadecimal)
when the key is turned off.

• FAD .............Indicates the current position of the fader.

If the message is assigned to a fader, the
byte you specify as FAD will be transmit-
ted as a value of 00–7F (hexadecimal)
corresponding to the fader position when
you operate the fader.
If the message is assigned to a [TRACK
SEL] key, this byte will be transmitted as a
value corresponding to the current posi-
tion of the fader when the [TRACK SEL]
key is turned on, and will be transmitted as
a value of 00 (hexadecimal) when the
[TRACK SEL] key is turned off.

• If two or more MIDI messages are received while the LEARN but-

ton is on, the last-received MIDI message will be input in the MIDI
message field.

• If a system exclusive message longer than sixteen bytes is

received, the first sixteen bytes will be displayed.

HINT

• The MIDI message assigned to a single fader or key cannot be

longer than sixteen bytes.

• If a SW byte is not assigned to a [TRACK SEL] key, the MIDI mes-

sage you input will be transmitted only when you turn the key on.
(In this case you will normally use the UNLATCH setting.)

• When you use the LEARN button to assign a control change to a

fader, the END byte will automatically be input at the end of the
MIDI message.

• When you use the LEARN button to assign a control change to a

fader, the FAD byte will be automatically input as the variable
value.

HINT

• If you assign a MIDI message manually, be sure to input END at

the end of the MIDI message.

• When you assign a MIDI message to a fader, FAD must be input

for one of the bytes. If FAD is not input, operating the fader will not
do anything.

• If you input the values manually, it is possible that an invalid MIDI

message will be input. For this reason, you should use the

9

LEARN button to assign MIDI messages whenever possible.
