Ecler NUO4 Mode D'emploi page 13

Available MIDI Controls for each channel:
•
5 rotary controls sending Control Change messages (GAIN, BASS, MID, TREBLE and FX SEND)
•
2 sliders sending Control Change messages (FADER and CROSSFADER)
•
2 switches sending Note-On/Off messages (BASS OFF and PFL)
These MIDI controls are not affected by LAYOUT and A/B selectors in MIDI CONTROL section.
At least one channel input selector and the same channel crossfader assignment must be simultaneously set in
MIDI mode for the crossfader to operate in MIDI mode. In MIDI mode the curve controls do not affect fader and
crossfader operation. Physical position of the rotary and sliding controls can slightly differ between NUO4 and
software.
MIDI controls absolute position for channels 2 and 3 does not automatically update in the external device when you
select MIDI with the input selector. The rotary commands update their position when you move them for the first
time, independently of the external control it is linked to.
As an alternative, to update all controls for a channel, keep the TAP button pressed while you select MIDI with the
input selector.
6.3. Dedicated MIDI control area
The NUO4 has 12 controls exclusively dedicated to send MIDI messages:
•
4 rotary controls (1A - 1D)
•
4 buttons (integrated to the rotary controls) (2A - 2D)
•
4 buttons (3A - 3D)
LAYOUT and A/B selectors do not send MIDI messages but allow the 12 controls
described above to send different messages. This multiplies the amount of messages
to be sent by specific MIDI controls.
A/B switch allows to double the 12 MIDI controls functions. A natural use for A/B switch
is to assign the same mixer button to a same function for two different channels in DJ
software.
For example, let's suppose that you have a DJ software with a mixer and two virtual
players. You want to assign PLAY to the 3B button; A/B switch allows you to send two
different MIDI messages and thus to execute the same function for each player. This
way you obtain:
•
PLAY for left player: press 3B with switch in A position
•
PLAY for right player: press 3B with switch in B position
LAYOUT selector allows you to send three different messages from each one of the 12
MIDI controls. Its natural use is to assign all the NUO4 MIDI section to three different
parts of DJ software.
For example, let's suppose that you want to control player, effects and sampler parts of
your DJ software. You'll distribute NUO4 MIDI controls this way:
•
LAYOUT in position 1: control of DJ software player section
•
LAYOUT in position 2: control of DJ software effect section
•
LAYOUT in position 3: control of DJ software sampler section
