Re: Behringer/Repeater questions



I think they do that to make things 'easier' or 'more comfortable' for 
people.

In the world of MIDI, most values start at 0.  There are 16 channels: 
0-15.  There are 128 program changes possible: 0-127.  Likewise with 
CCs.  Many devices display these 0 based numbers as 1 based numbers in 
their UI and documentation: channels 1-16, programs 1-128, CCs 1-128.  But 
many devices use both 0 based numbers and 1 based numbers for different 
things: channels 1-16, program changes 0-127, etc.

So when you program a footcontroller you need to know whether channels, 
program changes and control changes are 0 or 1 based (on the controller 
and 
at the controllee).
