Notes:
Â

There is only one level meter per channel. For stereo tracks, use the maximum of left
and right levels.

Â

Only transmit peak levels. Logic Control automatically decreases the level meter bars,
and switches off the Signal Present LED (over time). This approach ensures that MIDI
bandwidth takes only a fraction of that required by implementations where the
current level (and peak level) is transmitted constantly.

Â

Decay rate is approximately 300ms per meter division (1.8 seconds to fall from 100%
to 0%).

Â

The LCD meter value and the duration of the Signal Present LED are controlled by the
same data byte.

Â

While the LCD switches between horizontal and vertical metering mode, it ignores
LCD messages. You should delay LCD messages for at least 600 ms after sending an
LCD metering mode change message.
