NAVIGATION
1. Press the Utility button to access the utility pages.
2. Use the up/down direction buttons or the data wheel to scroll through the different utility pages.
3. When the correct utility page is displayed, use the left/right direction buttons to activate the desired param-
eter on this page. A parameter is active when the field blinks.
4. Use the up/down direction buttons or data wheel to edit the value of the parameter while the parameter is
blinking.
5. Press the Exit button once or use the left/right direction buttons to de-select (stop all fields from blinking).
Now return to step 2 to edit a different parameter, or press the Exit button a second time to return to
the main page.
VIEW ANGLE & MIDI CHANNEL
The VIEW parameter adjusts the contrast of the display to allow for different lighting conditions or viewing angles.
To adjust the view angle:
1. Press the Utility button.
2. If not displayed, use the up/down buttons or data wheel to access the following page:
3. Cursor right once to activate the "View" field and use the up/down direction buttons or data wheel to edit
the view angle.
Separate MIDI channels can be set for incoming MIDI messages and transmitted MIDI messages. The "ChIn"
parameter is used to set the receiving MIDI channel of the unit. The PC 1600x
messages received on this channel. The "ChOut" parameter is used to set the transmitting channel of the unit. Any
messages set to transmit on the main channel use this parameter. Use the same procedures listed above to
access the MIDI parameters.
Note: For the PC 1600x to receive the SysEx messages as listed in Appendix A, the ChIn
value set on this screen must match the channel byte in the message.
Many devices use SysEx command strings that include a MIDI channel or device number as one of the bytes. This
practice is beneficial to the user since it allows separate SysEx control when differentiating one unit from an
identical unit on the same MIDI stream.
Instead of hard-coding these values into the strings, a "gc" (global channel) or "dv" (device number) byte can be
designated that references the global setting. By altering this Utility setting, all strings can be altered simulta-
neously. When the PC 1600x sees a "gc" in the string, it will transmit the ChOut setting. When it sees a "dv" in the
string, it will transmit the DevNum variable (see the "Device Number..." section in this chapter).
MIDI FILTER
Selecting which MIDI messages will pass from MIDI IN to MIDI OUT is handled by the MIDI filter utility. Individual
messages or all MIDI messages can be filtered, allowing only certain incoming messages to pass to the MIDI
OUT. The following messages can be filtered:
•
All MIDI (overrides all others when set to filter)
•
All Notes
•
