Channel Mutes

Pressing any console mute switch transmits a MIDI Note On
message unless MIDI has been disabled. Similarly receiving
the correct Note On message will control the channel mute
unless it has been made 'mute safe' or MIDI disabled.

Console mutes are mapped to MIDI Note numbers as shown.
Running status is supported on receive and transmit.

TRANSMIT - Pressing a console mute transmits the following
Note On message:

9n cc vv cc 00

where

n = console MIDI channel number

cc = console channel number

vv = 3FH for mute off, 7FH for mute on

RECEIVE - The console responds to the following MIDI Note
On message :

9n cc vv

( 00 is ignored)

Mute Snapshots

Recalling a snapshot will transmit a MIDI Program Change
message unless the snapshot system is disabled or MIDI is
disabled. Similarly receiving the correct Program Change
message will recall a console snapshot unless disabled.

Console snapshots are directly mapped to MIDI Program
Change numbers 0 to 127. Running status is supported on
receive and transmit.

TRANSMIT and RECEIVE - The message format is :

Cn pp

where

n = console MIDI channel number

pp = console snapshot number 0-127

MIDI Dump Format

The format for Dump In and Dump Out is identical. The Dump
is made up of 128 System Exclusive messages (or packets)
which contain the contents of the console memory.

TRANSMIT and RECEIVE - The format for a single packet is
as follows :

F0 <sysex header> <packet no.> <data> <checksum> F7

<sysex header> = 00 00 1A 50 05 VV vv nn

VV = major software version number

V1.23

vv = minor software version number V1.23
nn = console MIDI channel number

<packet no.> = packet number from 0 to 127

<data> =

7 bit block of console data followed by a

number of 00 pad bytes.

<checksum> = checksum to allow error detection.
