Midi Remote Control
Midi Remote
On the back of the grandMA, you find the MIDI IN, MIDI THRU and MIDI OUT connectors.
Executor keys and faders can be called using an external MIDI source.
Only "Note + Velocity" commands are currently supported.
Midi Show Control (MSC) can be also be used, but that’s another story…
MIDI Input
In the TOOLS menu, you can switch the MIDI input on or off.
If the MIDI input is on, Executor keys and faders can be called using an external MIDI source. You can also test assigned executors by pressing the respective note keys on the MIDI softkeys.
Assigning Executors to Midi notes
Press TOOLS - Remote Midi
Press STORE and then a key in the REMOTE MIDI CONFIGURATION.
Press the Executor button you want to assign. The button is now assigned.
The assigned Executor buttons is displayed on the softkeys in the REMOTE MIDI CONFIGURATION
To delete an assigned Executor button, press DELETE followed by the softkey in the REMOTE MIDI CONFIGURATION
Format
“Note On” at any velocity simulates a keypress to the assigned executor key.
“Note Off” releases the keypress again.
Faders are controlled by “Note on” followed by a Velocity.
So to move a fader at a controlled speed, you will have to send a controlled stream of “Note On, Velocity” like this:
