Use of MIDI - Transferring Memories
Use of MIDI - Transferring Memories
Three ways to use Lightmaster XL with MIDI
1 As a means of linking two or more
Lightmaster XL desks for memory transfer or
for Master/Slave operation.
2 To allow a relatively simple electronic
keyboard to control individual channels and
memories.
3 To allow more complex instruments such as
sequencers to control scene changes, even to
the extent of making such changes into a
sophisticated chase.
Memory Transfer between two Lightmaster XL
desks
This is possible in two directions:
1 Sending data to a secondary desk, or
2 Requesting that memories are sent by the
secondary desk to the main desk.
Note that the desks are referred to as ‘main’ and
‘secondary’ purely for convenience, they do not
have to be set up or programmed specially.
