MIDI
MIDI is short for Musical Instrument Digital Interface. It is the popular serial connection
standard conceived in the 1980’s so that keyboards and other electronic instruments could
communicate with each other. Applications now include sound and lighting consoles,
computer sequencing, show control and performance effects control. The XONE VF-1 has
MIDI In and Out sockets allowing external control of the filter and synchronization with other
MIDI devices.
The XONE VF-1 MIDI interface provides full in and out external control of the filter type, cut-off
frequency and on/off settings. The filter can integrate with MIDI equipped sequencers, effects
units, mixers and keyboards to create a new dimension to live performance and recorded
sound.
Three additional MIDI In modes can be selected to give maximum flexibility for advanced users.
These allow the unit to be controlled in a variety of ways from the controls on the Allen & Heath
XONE:92 DJ mixer or from the notes on a standard MIDI keyboard. The MIDI channel number
defaults to 16 but can be easily changed to any channel from 1 to 16.
The following filter parameters can be controlled by MIDI:
Filter cut-off frequency
Hi-pass in/out
Band-pass in/out
Low-pass in/out
Filter on/off
