Learn Mode - Peavey PC 1600X Mode D'emploi

or chords, the PC 1600x (per note!) can be programmed to use a fixed velocity, or to use the velocity that comes
in via MIDI (e.g. from velocity-sensitive note pedals or keyboards). If the button is programmed as a single note,
set the velocity variable to "rv" for Remote. This is one example:
If playing a chord (a button is programmed to transmit several notes via a MIDI string), edit the string and set the
velocity bytes up to FF, which accesses 'rv' (remote velocity) in the string instead of the FF. Whenever the PC
1600x sees an 'rv' in a button string, and the most recent status byte in the string was a Note On (9x, for attack
velocity) or Note Off (8x, for release velocity), it will substitute the incoming velocity.
If the button is programmed to transmit a single note on message using the button "note on" function (vs. a MIDI
String), the screen would be displayed similar to this:
As mentioned earlier, the "Rem" designation indicates that velocity will be determined from remote MIDI input. If a
button is pressed locally (on the PC 1600x itself), or a Program Change is received, the 'rv' byte value (or "Rem"
setting) will be determined by the position of the fader above the button, even if it did not follow a 9x or an 8x. The
fader position number will always be ranged from 0-127 (or 1-127 if within a note stream). It will not be affected by
the fader's Min and Max parameters.
NOTE: Since the 'rv' velocity will use the fader position when the button is pressed on the PC
1600x, it is useful to use 'rv' even when not using the remote feature. It gives you a
method of inserting the fader position (0-127 only) into any button string. Use it for
program number, note number, etc. If the fader is not being used for something else,
however, it is probably better to program the message into the fader, then set the
button to "Send Fader. "

If a system exclusive message is received while a button string is being edited (the cursor must be visible), the PC
1600x will automatically replace the existing button string with the system exclusive message received. Note
recording is also possible with this function. See below for more information.
NOTE STREAM RECORDING
To make chord programming easier, the PC 1600x can now record note streams into button strings. This allows
you to play a chord into the PC 1600x to program a button, instead of inserting all of the numbers in manually. To
set up note recording, you must first enable the feature by telling the PC 1600x which MIDI channel you will be
sending the note data over. This parameter/screen is located in the Utility menu (along with the MIDI Device
Number):
After setting the channel, go to any button's string editing screen (String, prs/rls, or toggle) and hit the left or right
arrow button to put the underline cursor on the screen:
The recording will be triggered by any Note On received on the specified channel. Any Note Off received on that
channel will erase the string, allowing you to experiment until you find the right group of notes. Any other MIDI
commands will not affect the recording. When finished, press the ENTER button while continuing to hold the
