Plug-Ins can be edited as follows. The settings of Waves Plug-Ins and User Defined Plug-In banks can be stored to an external MIDI device, such as a MIDI data filer, by using MIDI Bulk Dump (see page 195).
If you’ve installed a Y56K card into one of the Slots, display pages especially for the Waves card are displayed when the corresponding Plug-In is selected. See the Waves documenta- tion for more information. The following explanation applies only to User Defined Plug-Ins.
1 Press the EFFECTS/PLUG INS [PLUG-INS] button.
2 Use the EFFECTS/PLUG INS [1–4] buttons to select the Plug-Ins.
3 Use the EFFECTS/PLUG INS [DISPLAY] button to locate the Plug-In Edit page.
4 Use the cursor buttons to select the parameters, and use the Parameter
wheel, INC/DEC buttons, and [ENTER] button to set them.
TRANSMIT: This enables and disables MIDI data transmission for the currently selected Plug-In.
INITIALIZE: This initializes the settings of the currently selected bank.
BANK: These buttons are used to select the parameter banks of the currently selected Plug-In. Up to four parameter settings can be stored in each bank, making a total of 32 parameters per Plug-In.
TITLE: This is used to enter a title (up to 16 characters long) for each bank. To enter a title for the currently selected bank, select this and press [ENTER]. When the Title Edit window appears, enter a title, and press OK when you’ve finished. See “Title Edit Window” on page 46 for more information.
PARAMETER ID/NAME: This is used to select the four rotary controls at the bottom of the Plug-In Edit page for editing, and to enter a name (up to 16 characters long) for each control. Use the Parameter wheel or INC/DEC buttons to select a Parameter ID from 1–4, and then press [ENTER]. When the Title Edit window appears, enter a title, and press OK when you’ve finished. See “Title Edit Window” on page 46 for more information.
DATA: This is used to specify the MIDI message (up to 16 bytes) to be transmitted when each parameter control is adjusted. Use the PARAMETER ID/NAME parameter to select a Parameter ID from 1–4, and then edit as necessary. Data values can be set in hex from 00 to FF. The VAL setting is the value of the parameter control. The END setting specifies the end of the data. NOP means no data is transmitted.

MIN/MAX: These parameters determine the minimum and maximum values of the MIDI data transmitted when each parameter control is adjusted. Use the PARAMETER ID/NAME parameter to select a Parameter ID from 1–4, and then edit as necessary. VAL: This is used to select the format for converting parameter control values to the DATA parameter’s VAL setting. It applies to the currently selected bank. The available options are listed in the following table.
When the controls at the bottom of the Plug-In Edit page are operated, the specified MIDI data, along with the value of the parameter control, is transmitted.
Plug-In parameters can also be adjusted by using Parameter controls 1–4, which corre- spond to the four parameters shown at the bottom of the Plug-In Edit page.
When a Y56K card effect, or an internal effects processor is inserted in the currently selected channel, when the EFFECTS/PLUG-INS [CHANNEL INSERTS] button is pressed, the cor- responding EFFECTS/PLUG-INS [1–4] button indicator flashes, and the corresponding Effects, or Plug-In edit page appears. If it’s a Y56K card that’s inserted, the [PLUG-INS] but- ton indicator also flashes. If it’s an internal effects processor, the [INTERNAL EFFECTS] button indicator also flashes. This applies only to effects that are inserted into channels. If there’s nothing inserted in the currently selected channel, a message appears.
The parameter settings, and the target and bank for each Plug-In are stored in Scenes. When a Scene is recalled, if the Plug-In’s Target is the same as when the Scene was stored, the parameters are set accordingly and the corresponding MIDI data is transmitted (so long as the REMOTE parameter is set to ENABLED). If the Target is not the same, the parameters are set accordingly but no MIDI data is transmitted.
VAL Description VAL count
One byte Transmit the lower 7 bits of the parameter value as 1 word Up to one VAL
MSB/LSB Transmit the lower 14 bits of the parameter value in 7-bit units
starting from the upper byte Up to two VAL’s
LSB/MSB Transmit the lower 14 bits of the parameter value in 7-bit units
starting from the lower byte Up to two VAL’s
2 Nibbles M Transmit the lower 8 bits of the parameter value in 4-bit units,
consecutively from the highest data Up to two VAL’s
3 Nibbles M Transmit the lower 12 bits of the parameter value in 4-bit units,
consecutively from the highest data Up to three VAL’s
4 Nibbles M Transmit the parameter value in 16 bit units, consecutively from
the highest data Up to four VAL’s
2 Nibbles L Transmit the lower 8 bits of the parameter value in 4-bit units,
consecutively from the lowest data Up to two VAL’s
3 Nibbles L Transmit the lower 12 bits of the parameter value in 4-bit units,
consecutively from the lowest data Up to three VAL’s
4 Nibbles L Transmit the parameter value in 16-bit units, consecutively from
the lowest data Up to four VAL’s
