MIDI Messages
The A‑16R will respond to the following MIDI messages:
MIDI Message Controller or
Program Value
Result
Program Change: 0‑15 Recalls Presets 1‑16
Program Change: 16‑31 Selects Channels 1‑16
Controller 7: 0‑127 Mapped to Current Channel
Volume (min. to max.)
Controller 10: 0‑127 Mapped to Current Channel Pan
(left to right)
Controller 104: any Mutes the Current Channel
Controller 105: any Unmutes the Current Channel
Note that MIDI Controller 10 will be mapped to control Linked Channel
Spread if St e R e o lI N k is active for the currently selected channel. (This is set
from the front panel of Pro16 analog input modules, or from the DIP switches
on compatible Pro16 A‑Net console cards.) In that scenario, the stereo spread
will increase as the controller value increases. If a Group is active, MIDI pan
will be ignored, since Group panning must be set per channel when the
Group is being configured.
Some points to remember about MIDI:
The A‑16R will only respond to MIDI control messages that •
are sent on the MIDI channel that the A‑16R is assigned to.
The A‑16R can only listen to MIDI when in Local/MIDI •
mode. This means that it is not possible to use MIDI
automation while using an A‑16CS Control Surface.
A‑16R front panel controls are not sent out via MIDI; the •
MIDI Out jack on the A‑16R is only used for SysEx data
dumps of Preset files.
MIDI Data Storage
Two types of MIDI SysEx data can be generated by the A‑16R, single preset
files and files that contain all sixteen user Presets.
The A‑16R can send the following data types from the MIDI Out jack:
• Single Preset files ‑ the current system settings including
volume, pan, mute, and group information are transmitted.
• All Preset files ‑ the sixteen saved user Presets are
