MIDI Mix Console

MIDI-MIX-CONSOLE is a utility object to use both as a mixing console for MIDI, and a container for MIDI events describing the state of a number of controllers for each MIDI channels at a given time.

Editor

The MIDI-MIX-CONSOLE editor provides an iterface to set the following controls for the 16 MIDI channels:

• Program number: Which “instrument” is assigned to this channel
• Panning (-63 to 64)
• Volume (0-127)
• Pitch Bend (-200 to 200 midicents)
• 2 other control changes (selectable by a chooser, and also with values between 0-127)

In addition:

• A “Reset” button on each channel allows resetting to default values.
• The “Port” attributes targets a MIDI output port (or the default output port if not specified)

→ The “send on edit” check box enables sending MIDI messages in real-time each time a setting is changed from the editor.

Usage in MIDI sequences

The contents of a MIDI-MIX-CONSOLE can be extracted as a list of MIDIEVENTs using the get-midievents generic function, and then processed and used along with other MIDI or musical structures.

MIDI-MIX-CONSOLE can also be used as a timed MIDI settings container in a Sequencer:
