MIDI CONTROL OVERVIEW

ALLEN&HEATH 1 XONE:96 MIDI Control_1

 MIDI CONTROL

MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface; a protocol established in the 1980s to enable different
keyboards, sequencers, drum machines, etc. to communicate with each other.
MIDI remains a common and popular means to enable remote control of functions within DJ performance, or
DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) software.
XONE:96 has the ability to send and receive MIDI data, with a total of 31 MIDI enabled controls; 19 buttons, 5
faders and 7 rotary switches that can be assigned as controls for most Digital DJ and DAW applications.
Refer to the following colour coded image and tables for details of the MIDI controls, assignment values, and to
convert between equivalent hexadecimal, decimal and chromatic scale values.

MIDI Channel Setup

The default XONE:96 MIDI Channel is 16, but can be changed to any channel between 1 and 16 when powering
the mixer ON. To change the channel number:
• Press and hold down both MIDI 1 and MIDI 2 switches
• Power the XONE:96 mixer ON
CH A/ B /1-4 CUE, and FILTER 1/ FILTER 2 HPF Filter Type Select switches blink slowly
• Press the corresponding CUE or HPF switch to select the required MIDI channel between 1 and 8*
NOTE: To access MIDI CH 9 - 16:
• Push the FILTER 1 or FILTER 2 ON/OFF switch once.
CH A/ B /1-4 CUE, and FILTER 1/FILTER 2 HPF Filter Type Select switches blink rapidly
• Press the corresponding CUE or HPF switch to select the required MIDI channel between 9 and 16*

*
CUE A = MIDI CH 1 or 9 ¦ CUE B = MIDI CH 2 or 10 ¦ F1 HPF = MIDI CH 3 or 11 ¦ CUE 1 = MIDI CH 4 or 12
CUE 2 = MIDI CH 5 or 13 ¦ CUE 3 = MIDI CH 6 or 14 ¦ CUE 4 = MIDI CH 7 or 15 ¦ F2 HPF = MIDI CH 8 or 16

• After the CUE or HPF switch is pressed, the switches stop blinking and Filter Type Select switch LEDs
cascade to indicate the MIDI channel change is implemented.

NOTE: The new MIDI channel remains stored when the mixer is powered OFF and is recalled on subsequent
power-cycles until any further change is made.
