Technical Information

Communication

Communications with the MIDI unit follows the MIDI
specification.

Faders

When a fader is moved, the ES-4/100 and ES-8/100 sends the
following message:

Bnh 07h 0xxxxxxxx 27h 0y000000

n

0 to 7, corresponding to faders 1 thru 8

xxxxxxx

Most significant 7 bits of fader position

y

Least significant bit of fader position.


For example, Fader #2 moved to full scale (FFh), would yield:

B1h 07h 7Fh 27h 40h


Conversely, to command a fader to move to a specified position,
the same message format is used.

Sending the least significant bit is optional. For example, the
command s:

B3h 07h 39h

and

B3h 07h 39h 27h 00h


are interpreted identically.
