5. APENDIX
ACTION: here we have the action value. The different values
that can attain are explained at parts a) and e).
Note: the MIDI MAP is presented in hexadecimal base >
NOTE or CC. To assign physical control to software functions
you need to translate the MIDI MAP into decimal base.
Following, we explain have to find out this equivalence HEXDEC:
5.1. MIDI Specifications
A DJ Software have the “mapping” function that assigns MIDI
messages to the different functions of the DJ Software.
We also have to match the DJ Software functions with the
controls of the external device (the controller). We do so by
assigning the DJ Software function and the control the same
MIDI note or message.
Each of QUARK controls generates various MIDI messages
you can see at table QUARK MIDI MAP. We can send the
MIDI messages through channels 1 to 16, this is a MIDI
standard. We can see three different parts on a MIDI message:
- The MIDI code (MIDI CODE) lets us know what type of
message is sent.
- The FUNCTION CODE gives us the note or control value.
- The action let us know the value that the control attains when
is manipulated.
At the table we have a column for each of the three parts of a
MIDI message. The controls are grouped upon their in type so
also upon their MIDI code.
DJ Software’s use two types of MIDI codes:
- “Control Note” (switch): the control is a switch (you see a
button) or a LED and will look like NOTE C2. Each note has a
number that at the table is expressed in Hexadecimal (HEX).
Further on at this manual we will explain how notes and
numbers correspond to each other and how to change from
hexadecimal to decimal. In this case MIDI CODE is 9 and
FUNCTION CODE is the note of the control.
- “Control Change” (CC): the control will be a potentiometer or
encoder and will have a label like Cc53. In this case MIDI
CODE is B and FUNCTION CODE is a value between 0 and
127. We will associate a value to each control of the kind.
Upon the value of the action part of the MIID message we will
classify the controls as follows:
a- NOTE-KEY: are note type messages. Action value can be
127 (7FH) when we press or 0 when we release.
b- NOTE-LED: determines the LED that will light, are note type
messages as the switches and the values are 127 for LED ON
and 0 for LED OFF. In the LEDs case it is the DJ Software that
sends the MIDI messages to the controller.
c- CC-ABSOLUTE (VR) - CC “Control Change” Absolute.
These are potentiometer like controls. The action value is a
number between 0 an 127 upon the potentiometer position.
d- CC-RELATIVE (ENCODER/WHEEL) - CC “Control Change”
Relative. These are encoder like controls. As oppose to the
potentiometer that encoder does not send a message to report
its position but only report changes when turning to clockwise
or anticlockwise. It is sent the value 63 (3FH) if it turns to the
left and 65 (41H) if it turns to the right.
e- CC-LEVEL LED. The value sent in the action from 0 to 127
will tell how many LEDs are to be turned ON at the vu-meter.
At the before last column on the table you can find in the
compressed way the values that each action can attain. There
are DJ Software’s where it is not necessary know note values
or control values because this software “read” them
automatically. That is called the “Learn mode” where by
touching a control it assigns its note to a certain function
selected by the user.
At other software you have to wright manually the values or for
the LEDs at any software you have to do the writing because
there is no Lear mode for exiting MIDI messages (i.e. LEDs).
Therefore we recommend you try understanding the meaning
and workings of the table QUARK MIDI MAP.
Following, we explain the columns of the MIDI MAP:
FUNCTION: here find the name of the control of QUARK as
seen on its printing.
MIDI CODE: indicates if the message is a Control Note (9) or
Control Change (B).
CHANNEL+MIDI CODE: appears MIDI CODE values with the
channel (minus 1) used to send the message. Forward in this
manual we explain the MIDI channels used at QUARK.
FUNCTION CODE: at this column we have the value of the
note.

To translate a Hexadecimal base number into a Decimal base
we have to:
- find the column that has the number that appears at the left.
- find the row that has the letter that accompanies the number.
- the convergence of row and column is the equivalent DEC
number.
Inversely to translate an DEC base number into a Hex base we
have to:
- find the number at the table. Its column is the first hex digit,
the second hex digit is it row.
E.g. Play control MIDI address is 34. Find the DEC
equivalence at the Hexa-Dec table: Column 3 / Row 4 it is
decimal number 52.
Some softwares require not only know the decimal value but
also the corresponding note (for control change the decimal
number is enough). We can perform the Note-Decimal number
equivalence using the following table:

To find the note associated to a decimal number just take the
column where the number is as the note and the row is the
octave. Following the example presented before the
corresponding note to Play button is E3.
As seen at FUCTION CODE column of the MIDI table, each of
the controls of QUARK can send two different messages upon
the state of the Shift button. Remember we can permanently
engage Shift.
QUARK can be divided is 5 parts and the controls that fall in
each of these parts are sent through a different MIDI channel.
The central part of the controller has the controls to be sent
through channel 5.
There are two areas that are not dependent upon Deck
selection. These areas are devised to control effects and
