There are three ways to control the DPC.micro using MIDI.
The simplest way is to send a program change ranging from 120 to 127. Each program change corresponds
to a different unique loop setting, and will never change.
120: No loops active
121: A active
122: B active
123: A & B active
You can also save your own loop combinations to the internal memory of the DPC.micro, and load them
using MIDI program changes 0-119.
Send a MIDI program change from your controller on the DPC.micro's MIDI channel. The DPC will load the
contents of its memory. To edit, use the Loop mode on the DPC.micro to change the loop assignments and
then hold the C (SAVE) footswitch. The DPC.micro will save the new data in the current memory location.
The final way to control the DPC.micro is to send MIDI CC messages. MIDI CC 50, 51, and 52 control the A,
B, and C loops respectively. Send a value from 0-63 to turn the loop OFF, or a value from 64-127 to turn the
loop ON.
If more than one DPC.micro is used in the same system, you can use the MIDI Chain ID function in the DPC
setup to move the range of the MIDI CC values. This allows up to four DPC.micro to share the same MIDI
channel and still have each loop be individually accessible from your MIDI controller.
