Assigning Parameters to Control Changes
DM2000 parameters can be assigned to MIDI Control Changes for real-time control. When
a parameter is adjusted on the DM2000, the assigned Control Change message is transmit-
ted. Likewise, when a Control Change message is received, the assigned DM2000 parameter
is set. You must set the MIDI Setup parameters in order to transmit and receive Control
Change messages (see page 217).
A Parameter to Control Change assignment table, listing the initial assignments, is provided
on page 353. This table can be stored to an external MIDI device, such as a MIDI data filer,
by using MIDI Bulk Dump (see page 220), or stored to SmartMedia (see page 271).
1 Use the DISPLAY ACCESS [MIDI] button to locate the Control Change Assign
Table page.
2 Use the cursor buttons to select the MODE TABLE button, and press [ENTER].
In TABLE mode, when DM2000 parameters are adjusted, MIDI Control Change messages
are transmitted in accordance with the assignments on this page. In NRPN mode, when
DM2000 parameters are adjusted, predefined NRPNs (Non Registered Parameter Number)
are transmitted.
3 Use the cursor buttons to select the No. (CH) column, and use the Parameter
wheel or INC/DEC buttons to select the Control Changes.
4 Use the cursor buttons to select the three PARAMETER columns, and use the
Parameter wheel or INC/DEC buttons to select the parameters.
Parameters with more than 128 steps require two or more Control Change messages for
MIDI transmission and reception. Certain Delay parameters and the faders are divided into
L and H parameters. Delay Time parameters are divided into LOW, MID, and HIGH
parameters. For accurate transmission, all parameters (e.g., both L and H for faders) must
be assigned to individual Control Changes.
You can initialize the Parameter to Control Change assignment table by selecting the INI-
TIALIZE button, and then pressing [ENTER].
Controlling Parameters by Using Parameter Changes
DM2000 parameters can be controlled in real time by using Parameter Change messages,
which are System Exclusive messages. When a parameter is adjusted on the DM2000, a
Parameter Change message is transmitted. Likewise, when a Parameter Change message is
received, a DM2000 parameter is adjusted. See “MIDI Data Format” on page 369 for
detailed information. You must set the MIDI Setup parameters in order to transmit and
receive Parameter Change messages (see page 217).
