MIDI

You can use MIDI control change messages to control specified events (fader/encoder opera-
tions, [ON] key on/off operations etc.) on the LS9. This capability can be used to record fader and 
key operations on a MIDI sequencer or other external device, and play back this data later.

You can use control changes to control events in either of the following two ways.

● Using control changes

This method uses typical control changes (control numbers 1–31, 33–95, 102–119). You can freely assign an 
event to each control number.

● Using NRPN (Non Registered Parameter Number)

This method uses a special type of control change messages called NRPN.
NRPN uses control change numbers 62 and 63 to specify the MSB (Most Significant Byte) and LSB (Least Sig-
nificant Byte) of the parameter number, and subsequently-transmitted control change messages of control 
change number 6 (or 6 and 26) to specify the value of that parameter.
The event assigned to each combination of MSB and LSB is pre-defined, and cannot be changed.

p. 178), select the ports and MIDI channels 
that will be used to transmit/receive control 
changes.

You will return to the MISC SETUP screen.

In the CONTROL CHANGE popup window you can 
specify how control changes will be transmitted and 
received, and assign the event (fader/encoder opera-
tion, [ON] key on/off operation, etc.) assigned to each 
control number. This page includes the following 
items.

Here you can switch control change transmission/
reception on/off, and specify whether control changes 
will be echoed out. This setting is linked with the 
CONTROL CHANGE field of the MIDI SETUP 
popup window.
