REMOTE CONTROLLING PARAMETERS

Parameters can be remote controlled via MIDI or the rear panel foot pedal jacks. To remote control a parameter, first highlight it with the cursor. Here we’ve highlighted the parameter mix.

With the cursor in place, press and hold the SELECT key until the screen changes to the "remote control" menu page. After pressing and holding the SELECT key on the parameter mix

above, we arrive at the external modulation menu page shown to the right.

This is the same menu page we discussed interminably in External Modulation and Trigger Menu Pages on page 96. We won’t rehash it here.

To change the "hold time," see Miscellaneous Setup Options on page 138.

After making an assignment, you can exit this screen by pressing the *done* SOFT KEY. You may notice that the H8000FW flashes "Control will be lost if preset is not saved" if the

parameter you are remote controlling belongs to a program (as opposed to a "global" parameter such as an input level). This means that you must <save> or <update> the program to ensure that your remote control will still be there the next time you load the program. Of course, if you don’t care if the remote control is there the next time you load the program, then don’t worry about it!

See Saving a Program on page 127.

Assuming that the mode on the above menu page was set to something other than off when you exited, mix will be underlined. This indicates that it is remote controlled.

The underline blinks to add an element of fun and excitement to the H8000FW’s display and to cheer you up when you’re feeling glum. You can return to the remote control menu page by highlighting delay and holding the SELECT key again. If you change the mode to off on the "remote control" menu page, delay will no longer be underlined and nothing will blink. How sad.
