SELECTING LOOPS VIA MIDI
Repeater uses the MIDI Bank control change messages for remote selection of loops via MIDI. They work as a MSB/LSB
pair. MSB stands for Most Significant Bit and LSB: Least Significant bit - think of it as chapter and verse. MIDI CCs
are limited to 127 values. Using MSB/LSB allows us to utilize banks of 127 to access all of Repeaters 1000+ loops.
Use the Bank Select MSB CC#0 to Select the Bank as follows:
- Bank 0 = Internal 1-16
- Bank 5= External 513-640
- Bank 1= External 1-128
- Bank 6= External 641-768
- Bank 2= External 129-256
- Bank 7= External 769-896
- Bank 3= External 257-384
- Bank 8= External 897-999
- Bank 4= External 385-512
Use the Loop Select LSB to select the loop within the bank. i.e. to select External 387, send CC#0 (Loop select MSB)
at 4, and CC #32 (Loop select LSB) at 3.
There are some other ways of moving between loops too. Try these for size:
¥ Loop select up/down via PC or CC messages.
¥ Direct loop select PC messages.
M I D I CONTROL CHANGE
All of Repeater's functions are remotely accessible via MIDI.
Almost all controls on Repeater generate MIDI Control Change (CC) messages from the MIDI output. These CC's all
occur on the currently selected Repeater MIDI channel. Additionally, all front panel controls respond to CC and PC
messages received on the currently selected MIDI channel. The MIDI CC and PC messages supported are given in the
Repeater MIDI Specifications Table:
USING A MIDI FOOT CONTROLLER WITH REPEAT E R
By lining up a MIDI foot controller with some of the above mentioned parameters it is possible to control a Repeater
entirely with oneÕs feet. May we make a few suggestions:
