The MIDI-handler of the SPRING knows ‘RUNNING STATUS’. This means: when a status byte is received and
processed, the MIDI-handler remains in that status until a different status byte is received. This means that, during the time
the status is not changed, the midi master have to send only the data bytes of the succeeding messages. Further, the
SPRING recognizes SYSTEM REAL-TIME messages, in that way that RUNNING STATUS remains maintained.
The relation table below is applicable in case of the SPRING.

'n' is the under  'SET-UP' chosen  MIDI channel number. [h] means hexadecimal.

Setting the SPRING for MIDI control

Define a channel number for SPRING: set under [SET-UP]  “Remote control= MIDI, channelXX”. 

 

Select in the same

menu the desired channel number.

Create the memories you need.

Repeat pressing [assign] till you get the menu for attaching data byte values with memories.

An example

For example: the SPRING is set on “MIDI channel=4” and “MIDI data= 14 fades in A03”. At the moment the MIDI
master sends the bytes “0C4[h]” and “0E[h]” (E[h]=14 decimal), the SPRING reacts by canceling the going fade and
fading in scene A03.

Layout of the front panel

Beneath you find the front panel of the SPRING. Fader buttons are not visible.
