FXpansion GURU 1.5 MIDI implementation - Manual (Page 3)


Introduction
GURU v1.5’s new MIDI implementation is much improved and feature-packed.
Please disregard the MIDI mappings described in the v1.0 manual.
1: MIDI Channel mapping summary
• Channels 1..8 are mapped to Engines 1..8
• Channel 9 is broadcast to all Engines (“Omni” mode)
• Channel 10 is the “Drum Map” channel – all pads from all engines are mapped across notes 0–127
• Channel 11 controls the currently selected engine in the GURU user interface
• Channel 12 contains special commands and the ability to select Pads, Patterns and Engines for editing
• Channels 13-16 are reserved for future use.
Note: There are various different conventions in use for naming MIDI Notes – some sequencers refer to MIDI Note #0 as “C -2”,
some as “C -1”, and some as “C0”. For the purposes of this document, “C-2” refers to MIDI Note #0, “C-1” to MIDI Note #12,
“C0” to MIDI Note #24, “C1” to #36, “C2” to #48, “C3” to #60 and so on.
: A note about MIDI Learn: GURU 1.5 vs earlier versions
In v1.5, the MIDI Learn functions on the Pad context menu and in the Scenes view have been discarded.
GURU has a very powerful MIDI implementation but it is necessary to create a map for GURU in your MIDI control hardware. This
document contains a full summary of all possible MIDI mappings.
