Effect parameter change MIDI messages

Use the following MIDI channels to send messages to the
2488neo effects (see “Effects“ on page 39):

Channels 1 through 8 are used for mic effects. The Bank
Select controller is used with channel 14 to choose which
group of eight channels or inputs is affected.

Bank 0: Mixer channels 1 though 8
Bank 1: Mixer channels 9 through 16
Bank 2: Mixer channels 17 through 24
Bank 3: Inputs A through H

Channel 9 is used to control the stereo dynamics processor effect.
Channel 10 is used to control the single effect.
Channel 11 is used to control the multi-effect.

The way in which the effects are controlled is by the use of
NRPN (non-Registered Parameters).

Controller 98 is used for the LSB of each NRPN, and con-
troller 99 for the MSB.

In effect settings where more than one effect may be
selected, the same NRPN may produce a different out-
come, depending on the selected effect.

NOTE

All values, etc. listed in these tables are in decimal notation.

Example effect parameter change

This example shows the MIDI bytes (in hexadecimal nota-
tion) needed to set the ratio of a compressor effect on mixer
channel 9.

Note how Control Changes 6 and 38 (decimal) are used for
data entry.

Control Changes 96 and 97 (decimal) are used for incre-
ment and decrement as well.

MIDI message

(hexadecimal)

Meaning

BD 00 01

Sends a Control Change 0 (Bank Select)

message on channel 14 to select bank 1

B0 63 00

Sends NPRN MSB to 2nd channel in group

(mixer channel 9) on MIDI channel 1

B0 62 01

Sends 1 as NPRN LSB to 2nd channel in

group, which controls the ratio when

compressor is selected as mic effect

B0 06 00

Data entry Control Change LSB on MIDI

channel 1

B0 26 00

Data entry Control Change MSB on MIDI

channel 1

The ratio of the compressor on mixer channel 9 is now set
to a value of 0.
