MIDI reference

The numbers you need while binding MIDI in InputConfig, in either direction: which CC a knob sends, which note a pad is, which program number recalls which General MIDI sound, and which drum sits on which note of channel 10.

60 = C4 (middle C), 261.63 Hz

InputConfig names notes from C-1 (0) to G9 (127), so middle C is C4 = 60. Pitch bend: 0 is full down, 8192 is centre, 16383 is full up. Program numbers in the app are 0 to 127; General MIDI lists the same sounds as 1 to 128.

Which CC for what

  • Binding a knob as input: Scan tells you the number. Switch mode fires past 64, Dial mode treats 64 as rest, Turn mode nudges per step for endless encoders. The MIDI input page explains the three.
  • Sending CC from a stick or trigger: 1 (modulation), 7 (volume), 11 (expression), 74 (cutoff), 71 (resonance), and 10 (pan) are the ones most instruments already listen to. Anything else, map in the DAW with MIDI learn.
  • Pedals: a sustain pedal sends CC 64 as 0 or 127, which is why Switch mode suits it.
  • Panic: 120 All Sound Off and 123 All Notes Off are what a DAW's panic button sends; InputConfig sends note-off for everything it holds when a preset stops.
