Thank you for purchasing the MIDI Solutions Event Processor Plus.
The MIDI Solutions Event Processor Plus offers 32 settings, each of which can be programmed to perform a different
MIDI processing function. The Event Processor Plus is MIDI-powered and requires no batteries or power supply to
operate.
INTRODUCTION
To program the Event Processor Plus connect the MIDI Out from your MIDI interface to the MIDI of the Event
Processor Plus. The MIDI can be left disconnected during programming.
Once the Event Processor Plus is programmed, it can be inserted wherever it is required in your MIDI setup. Connect
the MIDI Out or Thru of the sending device to the MIDI of the Event Processor Plus, and the MIDI of the Event
Processor Plus to the MIDI In of the receiving MIDI device. It is recommended that the number of MIDI Solutions
products powered by a single MIDI Out or Thru be limited to four.
The Event Processor Plus offers 32 settings, each of which can be programmed with a unique MIDI processing
function. The Event Processor Plus is programmed by sending it MIDI System Exclusive programming commands
from a computer with a MIDI interface. These commands are described in detail on the MIDI Solutions website,
however (see
www.midisolutions.com/support.htm).
Upon receipt of a programming command, the Event Processor Plus's MIDI indicator LED flashes rapidly for about
one second to indicate that the setting has been stored. Settings are retained after power is removed, and the unit
can then be inserted wherever it is required in your MIDI setup.
The Event Processor Plus's MIDI Indicator LED will light as soon as the sending device is turned on, and flashes
whenever MIDI data passes through the unit. Each MIDI event received is compared with each of the Event
Processor Plus's 32 settings, beginning with setting #1.
All unprocessed MIDI events are sent unchanged to the MIDI Out.
In

In Out
the Programming Tools software creates these commands automatically
If a MIDI event matches a setting, the event is processed
according to that setting.

STORE INCOMING VALUE IN A VARIABLE
VALUE RANGE AND VARIABLE SPECIFICATION
To program the Event Processor Plus to store an incoming value in one of eight variable locations, send it the
following System Exclusive programming command:
followed by
All bytes must be in Hexadecimal format (see hexadecimal conversion table at end)
= setting to be programmed (00 - 1F)
is related to the parameters as follows:
= 00: specifies the incoming range of the first byte # of MIDI Event A to be processed
= 01: specifies the incoming range of the second byte # of MIDI Event A to be processed
= 02: specifies the range the first byte is scaled to before it is stored in Variable (00 - 07)
= 03: specifies the range the second byte is scaled to before it is stored in Variable (00 - 07)
To program setting #1 to store volume (CC#7) on MIDI channel 5 in Variable 1, with the incoming range 0 - 127
scaled to the stored range 0 - 100, send the Event Processor Plus the following programming commands:
F0 00 00 50 29 07 F7
Up to two values of each incoming and outgoing MIDI event can be qualified by parameters that specify
value ranges or variables to be compared to. Incoming MIDI events are processed only if each value falls within the
specified value range or matches the value stored in the specified variable. Values of outgoing MIDI events are
scaled to the specified outgoing value ranges or assigned to the values stored in the specified variables.
For incoming MIDI events, is defined as follows:
First value of incoming MIDI event:
= 00 : Value of byte # qualified by range
= 1 00 00: Value of byte # compared to variable = 0 to 7
(if MIDI event is non-System Exclusive then = 02)
Second value of incoming MIDI event:
= 01 : Value of byte # qualified by range
= 1 00 00: Value of byte # compared to variable = 0 to 7
(if MIDI event is non-System Exclusive then = 03)
For outgoing MIDI events, is defined as follows:
First value of outgoing MIDI event:
= 02 : Value of byte # scaled to outgoing range
= 2 00 00: Value of byte # assigned the value stored in variable = 0 to 7
(if MIDI event is non-System Exclusive then = 02)
Second value of outgoing MIDI event:
= 03 : Value of byte # scaled to outgoing range
= 2 00 00: Value of byte # assigned the value stored in variable = 0 to 7
(if MIDI event is non-System Exclusive then = 03)
When multiple parameter sets are used in a single programming command the sets must appear in the
order shown above.
All bytes must be in Hexadecimal format (see hexadecimal conversion table at end)
