MIDI OperationSome sequencers cannot record SysEx or Non-Registered Parameter information.In this case, you can use Dynamic MIDI ® patches and record the MIDIController information used to get the real-time effect changes you want. Simplycreate the patches you want, and record the Controller information on yoursequencer. When the sequence is played back, the 300's Dynamic MIDI ®patches will respond to the recorded Controller commands.This type of operation gives the best of all the 300's MIDI capabilities. Aspreviously described, create the patches you want. Set the 300 to one of theAutomation modes. Put your sequencer into Record, and use the MIDI Controllersto create the effect parameter changes you need. As you change the effectparameters, the 300 will transmit information to your sequencer in the format youhave chosen (System Exclusive or Non-registered Parameters). This allows youto control and record as many as five parameters simultaneously. Again, whenyou play back the sequence, the 300 will respond just as the changes wererecorded.In applications that require more than one 300 to work together, you can use one300 as a master, and slave as many 300s as you need to the master. This is doneby connecting the MIDI OUT of the master machine to the MIDI IN of the firstslave, then connecting the MIDI THRU of the first slave to the next slave, and soon.Using Dynamic MIDI ®to transmit and receiveMIDI Controller InformationUsing SysEx andDynamic MIDI ®PatchesControlling Multiple300sSet the Automation mode on all machines to the same setting, and make surethat all machines are operating on the same MIDI Channel.To see the results, select an effect from the master machine, then put all of themachines in Effect Edit mode — displaying the same page. When you turn thesoft knob on the master machine, all of the slaves will respond to the command.Note that, even if the displays are set to different pages on the various slavemachines, the parameter changes are still taking place.Note: If master and slave machines have different input sources, i.e. a mix ofanalog and digital, effect changes will not work in SysEx and Non-RegisteredParameter modes.7-7
