Chapter 12: MIDI applications

4. Select the DPS12’s MIDI channel that transmits and receives Control Change messages in the

field and the field respectively.

5. Create a mix beginning at the start position of the song on the DPS12, and follow the instructions

under “Recording and playing back a scene memory of the mix parameters” to record the scene

memory in the top position of the MIDI sequencer.

When a mix automation is recorded, this scene memory will become the default value of the mix parameters.

➸

NOTE :

A scene memory that is used as a default setting of the mix parameters should be recorded in a

position before the start point of the mix automation recording. Therefore, the top of the song should be

later than 0001.01.00.

6. Set up the MIDI sequencer so that it will record Control Change messages while syncing to the

external MIDI Clock, and set it to record waiting mode.

TIPS :

• To record Control Change messages, it is a good idea to select a track that did not record a scene

memory.

• Turn off the MIDI thru function of the MIDI sequencer.

7. Start playing the DPS12.

The DPS12 transmits MIDI Clock via the MIDI OUT/THRU jack to the MIDI sequencer, and the MIDI

sequencer synchronizes to the clock. (If you play the song from the top, the scene memory will be sent to the

DPS12.)

8. Use the faders and [PAN] keys on the top panel or use Mixer mode to adjust the mix parameters.

The mix parameter settings and their changes are set as Control Change messages and are recorded to the

MIDI sequencer.

9. When recording is complete, stop the DPS12 and MIDI sequencer.

10. To play back the mix parameter operations, set the track of the MIDI sequencer that recorded Control

Change messages for playback, and match the MIDI transmit channel of that track to the DPS12’s

MIDI receive channel specified in Step 5.

11. Set up the MIDI sequencer so that it will synchronize to an external MIDI Clock, and set it to play-

back waiting mode.

12. Play the DPS12 from the zero position of the time counter.

The MIDI sequencer synchronizes the DPS12, and after sending the scene memory settings to the DPS12, it

plays back the changes to the mix parameters as the song proceeds.

TIP :

The table on the next page shows the DPS12’s mix parameters and the corresponding Control

Change numbers. You can enter this Control Change data directly into the MIDI sequencer to control the

mix parameters.
