Work with MIDI channel strips in the Mixer
MIDI channel strips overview
MIDI channel strips in the Mixer work as remote controls for the mixing parameters of your MIDI-
controlled sound modules and synthesizers, such as volume and pan.

Program buttons: Use to select a sound by name. Click one to open a pop-up menu that
contains either GM sound names (the default setting) or sound names created or imported by
the user. Each channel strip has its own pop-up menu, whose content can vary depending on
the Bank number selected in the Bank fields.
•
Bank fields: If your sound source “understands” bank select events, you can choose the bank
number for each of the MIDI channel strips. The lower value sends controller value 32, and the
upper value sends controller value 0; this is for MIDI instruments that have 127 x 127 banks.
You can use several different bank select formats (see
Custom bank selects on page 784)
if your device does not use the standard controller 0/32 messages. Remember that not all
synthesizers support bank select events.
•
Assign 1 to 5: Display up to five knobs that you can freely assign to any MIDI controller number.
