MIDI
This chapter explains how MIDI messages can be transmitted from an exter-
nal device to control the LS9’s parameters, and conversely how operations
on the LS9 can be transmitted as MIDI messages.
The LS9 can use MIDI to perform the following operations.
● Program Change transmission and reception
When you execute a specific event (scene/effect library recall) on the LS9, a program change message of the cor-
responding number can be transmitted to an external device. Conversely, the corresponding event can be exe-
cuted when a program change message is received from an external device.
● Control Change transmission and reception
When you execute a specific event (fader/encoder or key operation) on the LS9, the corresponding control
change message can be transmitted to an external device. Conversely, events can be executed when control
change messages are received from an external device. This allows you to record fader and key operations on a
MIDI sequencer or other external device, and play them back later.
● Parameter change (SysEx) transmission and reception
When specific events (fader/encoder or key operations, changes in system settings or user settings) are executed
on the LS9, “parameter change” system exclusive messages can be transmitted to an external device. Conversely,
events can be executed when parameter changes are received from an external device.
Using this capability, LS9 operations can be recorded and played back on a MIDI sequencer or other external
device, or changes in system settings and user settings can be reflected on another LS9 console.
MIDI functionality on the LS9
• As the MIDI port used for transmitting and receiving MIDI messages, you can select either the rear panel MIDI IN/OUT
connectors or an I/O card installed in the slot {1, 2}. (If you select an I/O card, you can also select a port number.) All of
the above functionality will be common to the selected port.
• MMC (MIDI Machine Control) messages can be received to control the transport of the USB memory recorder.
