MIDI channels 10 through 16 are displayed with the aid of the decimal LED in the digit
display. Since the 8-STEP has only one digit available, the ones column of the number is
displayed in the digit and the tens column is represented by the decimal. For example MIDI
channel 15 is displayed as a 5 on the digit display with the decimal LED lit (5.) . MIDI
channel 5 is displayed as a 5 on the digit display but with no decimal LED lit (5) .
The MIDI channel remains saved in flash memory during power cycles. The 8-STEP does
not save the MIDI channel into its presets; MIDI channel is a global parameter for all
presets and modes of operation. The factory default is Channel 1.
MIDI CC MESSAGES
The following table lists all of the MIDI CC messages that the 8-STEP acknowledges and
the function each CC controls. If you send a CC message to control a slider parameter, the
slider’s location will no longer represent the value that the 8-STEP is set to. If you move a
slider that has received a MIDI CC command, the new slider position will take over the
parameter and erase the last MIDI data that was received.
