Manual Release 1. 1 IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Before powering up the unit, check that the voltage selector on the back panel is set correctly. Do not remove any covers or panels from the unit when the power is connected. [. . . ] These are known as "Running Status. " You could send a MIDI command message to the DSP7000 with the MIDI parameter on the [midi] menu page in the SETUP area set to disabled. If you then change the MIDI parameter to enabled, you must re-send the MIDI command message before the MIDI data messages will be accepted. Try sending a different MIDI command to get things started, or try cycling power on your MIDI source. Manual Release 1. 1 The DSP7000 Family Operating Manual 2000 Eventide Inc. Page 45 The DSP7000 Family Operating Manual "Automatically" Selecting a MIDI External Controller As opposed to "manually" selecting a MIDI controller, along with its proper channel and control number, a feature exists that "captures" the first MIDI message sent to the DSP7000 and uses it as the external controller. This works on both external modulation and external trigger menu pages. On the upper right-hand side of the screen, you will find a function called Capture Midi. Highlighting this parameter and pressing the S E L E C T key puts the DSP7000 in "Capture" SELECT SELECT mode. The mode parameter reads "CAPTURE. " The next type of MIDI message received by the DSP7000 will be used for the mode parameter, and the MIDI channel that it is received on will be used for the channel parameter. Of course, if you are in omni mode, the channel parameter will remain omni regardless of what channel the message is received on. To exit "Capture" mode without "capturing, " just press the SELECT key again. For example, if on the screen above (set to "Capture" mode) we send a pitch bend message on channel 3, the screen to the right results. The base channel is selected on the "second" midi menu page in the SETUP area. ) At this point, we have discussed all of the parameters that are relevant to selecting an external controller for modulation and triggering. If the external controller you would like to use doesn't involve MIDI, simply select it with the mode parameter. If the external controller you would like to use does involve MIDI, you have a choice. You can explicitly enter it with the mode parameter, selecting the proper channel and, if you've chosen MIDI double or MIDI single, selecting the con number. Alternatively, you can use the Capture Midi feature, sending the MIDI signal you would like to modulate or trigger with from your MIDI source and letting the DSP7000 figure out the mode, channel, and con. Note: To aid in troubleshooting, you can use the BUSY LED as a "MIDI chaser. " With the Memory Card removed, any MIDI signals sent to the DSP7000 at the MIDI In port cause the BUSY LED to flash. If you're trying to send MIDI messages to the DSP7000, but the BUSY LED isn't flashing when you do (and the Memory Card is removed), you know something is wrong with the connections outside the DSP7000!Scaling the External Controller The remaining parameters on the external modulation menu page pertain to scaling the selected external controller to suit the range of modulation desired. The horizontal bar graph on the bottom of the left-hand side of the screen displays the current value of the controller you selected in mode on a scale of approximately 1 to 100. Use this bar graph to visually confirm that the external controller you have selected is actually "finding its way" to this menu page. If you manipulate your external controller and this bar graph doesn't change, something is wrong!To see how this works, if you select "mode: pitch wheel, " jiggle the pitch wheel on your keyboard and then leave it alone, you will see the screen shown above. The bar graph reads 50. 00, halfway between full minimum and full maximum. If you pull the pitch wheel all the way down, you'll get the screen to the right.
