14. MIDI INTERFACE
14.1. Channel/Controller/Value setup
Gain adjustment is done via standard MIDI control commands:
 The preamp (1, 2 or 3) is selected by the MIDI channel
 The optocoupler (1 to 8) is selected by the controller number
 The gain value is set by adjusting the controller's value
The raw MIDI bytes are indicated in [square brackets]
DIP Address
setting
MIDI Channel * Controller number * Gain value
OFF OFF 2 = Preamp 1 [0xB1]
3 = Preamp 2 [0xB2]
4 = Preamp 3 [0xB3]
24 = Optocoupler 1 [0x18]
25 = Optocoupler 2 [0x19]
26 = Optocoupler 3 [0x1A]
27 = Optocoupler 4 [0x1B]
28 = Optocoupler 5 [0x1C]
29 = Optocoupler 6 [0x1D]
30 = Optocoupler 7 [0x1E]
31 = Optocoupler 8 [0x1F]
0...127 [0x00...0x7F]
0 = minimum gain
127 = maximum gain
Resulting gain in dB depends
on preamp type, for ADA8000
0...127 means +10..+50dB
(approx 0.3dB steps)
OFF ON 5 = Preamp 1 [0xB4]
6 = Preamp 2 [0xB5]
7 = Preamp 3 [0xB6]
ON OFF 8 = Preamp 1 [0xB7]
9 = Preamp 2 [0xB8]
10 = Preamp 3 [0xB9]
ON ON 11 = Preamp 1 [0xBA]
12 = Preamp 2 [0xBB]
13 = Preamp 3 [0xBC]
* These values and mappings can further be changed using SYSEX commands (see Advanced Topics).
Examples
(The following examples assume that the “ADDR.” DIP switches are both “OFF”):
 To set the gain on preamp 1, channel 1, to 63 (mid-scale):
On MIDI channel 2, set controller number 24 to value 63
[Raw byte sequence: 0xB1 0x18 0x3F]
 To set the gain on preamp 3, channel 8, to 0 (minimum):
On MIDI channel 4, set controller number 31 to value 0
[Raw byte sequence: 0xB3 0x1F 0x00]
