I have not used a midi controller except for drum machine sync but the
notes
in the upgrade zip
say this:
MIDI CONTROL
Independently of the MIDI SYNC state, the 2880 will at all times respond to
certain Control Change messages. These messages have the same effect
as pushing 2880's buttons and moving its sliders and rotary controls
(except input sensitivity and headphone level). The MIDI channel
on which such messages are received can be altered from 2880's panel
and saved in internal memory.
SETTING THE MIDI CHANNEL
Press MIXDOWN and hold it for more than 2 seconds.
This will cause all of the LEDs except the four track LEDs to blink.
The state of the track LEDs indicates the channel to which 2880 is
currently set. It uses the following code ("." = LED off):
Track LED 1 2 3 4 = MIDI channel
. . . . 1
. . . ON 2
. . ON . 3
. . ON ON 4
. ON . . 5
. ON . ON 6
. ON ON . 7
. ON ON ON 8
ON . . . 9
ON . . ON 10
ON . ON . 11
ON . ON ON 12
ON ON . . 13
ON ON . ON 14
ON ON ON . 15
ON ON ON ON 16
If one holds MIXDOWN, the track LEDs will advance through the above
sequence to select a different channel. When one releases MIXDOWN
the channel selected will be saved after power cycling.
MIDI CONTROL CHANGE MESSAGES
At power up the 2880 will always be in OMNI=OFF mode. This means that it
will only obey Control Change messages on the selected channel. The 2880
can however be switched to OMNI=ON mode by receipt of the appropriate
command on its selected channel. In OMNI=ON mode 2880 will respond to
CONTROL CHANGE MESSAGES (except OMNI=OFF) on any channel.
Each CONTROL CHANGE message carries two information bytes- the
Controller Change Number (CC#) and the data value (DV). The following table
shows which of 2880's functions the information bytes control:
CC# DV 2880 Parameter
9 0 to 127 Clix level
20 0 to 127 Live signals monitor level
21 0 to 127 Track 1 play/feedback level
22 0 to 127 Track 2 play/feedback level
23 0 to 127 Track 3 play/feedback level
24 0 to 127 Track 4 play/feedback level
25 0 to 127 Mix track play/feedback level
26 0 to 127 Tempo slider
27 0 to 127 Live signals pan
28 0 to 127 Track 1 pan
29 0 to 127 Track 2 pan
30 0 to 127 Track 3 pan
31 0 to 127 Track 4 pan
102 127 Push REC button
103 127 Push NEW button
104 127 Push PLAY button
105 127 Push TRACK SELECT button
106 127 Push EXT SYNC button
107 127 Push MIXDOWN button
108 127 Push STEREO button
109 127 Push REVERSE button
110 127 Push OCTAVE button
111 127 Push PUNCH-IN button
112 127 Push QUANTIZE button
124 0 Change to OMNI=OFF
125 0 Change to OMNI=ON
There must be at least 300mS between each button push message.
MIDI PROGRAM CHANGE MESSAGES
The 2880 also interprets certain Program change messages as button pushes
and mute/unmute commands. A program change message has one information
byte, P0 (0 to 127), but this is usually presented to the user as being
1 to 128, shown below as P1.
P0 P1 2880 Parameter
80 81 Push PLAY button
81 82 Mute/unmute track 1's play **
82 83 Mute/unmute track 2's play **
83 84 Mute/unmute track 3's play **
84 85 Mute/unmute track 4's play **
85 86 Push REC button
86 87 Select track 1 for record (or 1 and 2 if stereo)
87 88 Select track 2 for record (or 1 and 2 if stereo)
88 89 Select track 3 for record (or 3 and 4 if stereo)
89 90 Select track 4 for record (or 3 and 4 if stereo)
90 91 Push NEW button
91 92 Push QUANTIZE button
92 93 Push REC button
93 94 Push PLAY button
94 95 Push REVERSE button
95 96 Push TRACK SELECT button
96 97 Push STEREO button
97 98 Push PUNCH-IN button
98 99 Push EXT SYNC button
99 100 Push OCTAVE button
100 101 Push PLAY button
101 102 Mute/unmute track 1's play **
102 103 Mute/unmute track 2's play **
103 104 Mute/unmute track 3's play **
104 105 Mute/unmute track 4's play **
105 106 Push REC button
106 107 Push MIXDOWN button
107 108 Mute/unmute mix track's play **
108 109 Mute/unmute Dry Out **
109 110 Mute/unmute clix level **
110 111 Mute/unmute all play tracks ***
** The single channel mute/unmute action works as follows:
If the channel's level is greater than zero when the command is
received then the channel will be muted. If the channel's level
is zero when the command is received then the level will be set
either to that of 2880's panel fader or to that of the last CC
message (20..24), depending on which was most recently effective.
*** When a mute/unmute all-play-tracks command is received all play
tracks will be muted if ANY of them is greater than zero. If
ALL of them are zero then each will be set to fader or CC level.
MIDI OUT (MIDI THRU)
2880 generally relays all received MIDI messages at its MIDI out
connector. But in Internal sync mode it does not relay the
sequencer commands: STOP START CONT CLOCK
................
hope this helps, I love the machine by the way, its really fun!
