The Midi Channel Assignment is used to set the MIDI channel on
which the EQMan operates. To a MIDI application such as a sequencer,
the EQMan looks just like any other MIDI device (i.e., a synthesizer or
drum machine) and responds on its own MIDI channel. The MIDI
channel is important when sending MIDI program change, volume, pan
and continuos controller messages to the EQMan. The default MIDI
channel is 1.
The Hardware Speed is used to tweak the speed at which the computer
sends commands to the EQMan. Some faster machines may require an
additional Delay Factor of 10 or more, but most machines will only
require a Delay Factor of 5 or less. The factory default is 5 and will
work for almost all computers. Keeping the Delay Factor low decreases
the amount of time the computer spends servicing the EQMan, although
there is very little difference between a factor of 2 or 5. If uncertain how
to set this Delay Factor, always error on the high side, i.e., guess high!
You can reduce the factor slowly over a period of time as long as the
card appears to be working properly.
The MIDI Controller Assignments set the MIDI controller numbers that
each band of the EQ will respond to. The MIDI controller numbers 102
through 119 are defined by the MIDI Specification as user-defined and
are therefore good choices for assigning to EQMan EQ bands. Note that
each band may be set to respond to its unique controller number, or
bands may share controller numbers, allowing them to be controlled in
tandem. The factory configuration sets different controller assignments
for each frequency but pairs each left side frequency with its matching
right side frequency. For more information regarding the use of
continuous controllers with EQMan, see the MIDI Control of EQMan
section.
