Remote mode
In the Remote mode, you can remote-control DAW software or VSTi (software instruments). The DAW software which is
compatible with the instrument is Cubase, Logic Pro, SONAR and Digital Performer. Also, the instrument features 50
Control Templates for remote-control of many popular VSTi’s. These Control Templates let you assign the appropriate
functions for your favorite VSTi to Knobs [A] – [D] on the instrument. In the Remote display, you can indicate the
functions assigned to Knobs [A] – [D] for the selected Control Template, change the value of the functions, switch the
Control Template, and so on. This section explains parameters shown in the Remote display and functions available for
editing.
NOTE
If you wish to exit the Remote mode, press [DAW REMOTE] again.
NOTE
The DAW software to be controlled can be set in the Utility Remote display (
).
NOTE
For information of the DAW software version which is compatible with the instrument, refer to the “Specifications” of the Owner’s
Manual.
Remote display
Indicates the basic functions assigned to Knobs [A] – [D].
1
Knob indicator
Indicates the current values of the parameters assigned to Knobs [A] – [D] as graphic icons. If a current value is
different from a Knob indication, the Knob indicator is highlighted. When an indicator is highlighted, moving the Knob
does not affect the value. Once you move the Knob past the current value, moving the Knob affects the value, and the
Knob indication will correspond with the current value.
2
Parameter name
Indicates the functions assigned to Knobs [A] – [D]. When moving a Knob, the value of the assigned function is shown
in the display, then returns to the previous display after a specified time has elapsed. Also, by setting [PART 1-2 LINK] to
on, you can have the parameter value always be shown in the display. Setting [PART 1- 2 LINK] to off allows automatic
return to the previous display. The functions assigned to the Knobs differ depending on the “Remote” setting or “CC”
setting. This setting can be determined in the MX49/MX61 Remote Editor.
When setting the instrument to “Remote” (only Cubase)
The VSTi parameters of Cubase are assigned to Knobs [A] – [D], and the first eight characters of the parameters are
shown in the display. To scroll through parameter names having more than eight characters, hold down [SHIFT] and
press [DAW REMOTE].
Moving a Knob transmits the MIDI message to Port 2, then the parameter assigned to the Knob will be changed on the
VSTi of Cubase. In this case, the parameter value is shown on the instrument’s display for a specified time.
When setting the instrument to “CC”
Indicates the Control Change number to be controlled by Knobs [A] – [D]. Moving a Knob transmits the Control Change
message to Port 2, and the function of the VSTi will be controlled on the DAW software.
NOTE
If “DAW Select” (
) is set to other than “Cubase,” or “MIDI IN/OUT” (
) is set to “MIDI,” the instrument is fixed to
the “CC” setting.
