USING CLOCKWORKS FOR MAC OS X WITH THE MIDI TIMEPIECE AV 14
1 refer to “Making a pedal output assignment” on page 14 for
information about the Merge with data from and Channel options
(after you complete the rest of the settings described below).
Figure 21: Roland/KORG pedal settings.
2 Type in the cont roller number you wish to generate with the
pedal, as well as the minimum and maximum value.
These values determine the lowest and highest value that the
pedal can generate (range 0-127). If you are working with a foot
switch pedal, these are the two values that the pedal will generate.
3 Check the Use custom curve table option, if desired.
For more information about this option, see “Custom Pedal
Curves” on page 16.
Footswitch settings
If you’re configuring the pedal input for a footswitch:
1 Choose the type of data you wish to generate with the
footswitch from the Msg type menu.
A foot switch can generate MIDI notes, pitch bend, controllers,
patch changes, or sysex data.
Figure 22: Footswitch settings.
2 Set the pedal polarity to positive or negative.
Negative polarity reverses the direction of the pedal, so that if it
normally goes up when you press down, negative polarity will
make it go down (and vice versa).
3 If you chose controller, type in the controller number you wish
to generate.
4 If you chose system exclusive, see “Sending sysex data with a
knob” on page 15.
5 Proceed to “Making a pedal output assignment” on page 14.
Making a pedal output assignment
The output from a pedal cannot be assigned directly to an output
cable. Instead, the pedal data is assigned to an input cable, and
from there it is merged with any other data being received on the
input and then routed to wherever input cable is routed.
For example, let’s say that we want a pedal to generate MIDI
volume (controller number 7) and then send it to three synths in
our MIDI studio. Here is how to do so:
1 Assign the pedal to one of the MIDI Timepiece AV’s MIDI
inputs by choosing the input from the menu provided.
If you are using a MIDI controller, assign the pedal to the
controller’s input. Then pedal data will be routed to the same
outputs as the controller. If you have an input cable that isn’t
connected to anything else, you could use it instead.
2 In the Routing tab, route the input (in the left-hand column) to
the desired outputs (in the right-hand column).
Sending knob data
Once you have programmed one or more knobs, you can make
them generate the data you have programmed as follows:
1 Press the SHIFT button on the front panel of the MIDI
Timepiece AV so that the green LED is lit.
When the red LED is lit, the knobs control the MIDI
Timepiece AV LCD display. When the green LED is lit, the knobs
switch into their data transmission mode and send MIDI data
instead.
2 Tur n the k n o b s to send the data.
Notice that the four knob values are displayed in the LCD on the
front panel.
Figure 23: The MIDI Timepiece AV LCD display when sending knob data.
3 To s w it c h t h e k no b s back so that they again control the LCD
display, press the SHIFT button such that the red LED is lit.
Yo u c a n f re e l y switch back and forth.
