Artist Help:MIDI Wizard Message

MIDI Input index

Select the MIDI input. These are defined in Navigator/Input Output Patch/MIDI Inputs and are in turn connected to external MIDI devices.

Select MIDI Message

Select the message you wish to receive from the combo box or use the Capture function to capture live MIDI messages from your device. As you press keys on your MIDI keyboard you will see the message displayed in the text box. If you click 'Capture' the wizard settings are set to that MIDI message.

Set the Count

The number box is used to set the number of contiguous messages to decode in this patch object. This will depend on the type of message. The contiguous messages will then send an incremented value to the System command. Thus, if the System command activates a cue the extra data can be used to determine (by Parameter) which cue is activated.

Simply, this means that one patch can be used to assign 16 keys to activate 16 cues rather than patch each one individually, which you can still do if preferred.

Example

If you select 'Note on/off' and set a number of 16 this patch will decode all 16 notes from the one you select on the next page.

If you select 'Control Change' and set a number of 16 the patch will decode the control change on the channel number you select on the next and the 15 channels after that.
