MIDI Solutions
Event Processor
If you need to map, filter, and process MIDI events
in specific ways, the MIDI
Solutions Event Processor may be exactly the solution you are looking for. The Event
Processor offers 10 settings, each of which can be programmed with a unique
MIDI processing function (for 32 settings see the
Event Processor Plus). By combining these settings the Event
Processor becomes an extremely powerful tool capable of processing MIDI
events in almost any way imaginable. You can
map MIDI events or
ranges of MIDI events to other MIDI
events,
filter MIDI events or ranges of MIDI events,
trigger MIDI events,
toggle between MIDI events,
sequence through MIDI events,
scale or
crossfade MIDI
messages,
transpose notes, scale
velocities, map to and from
System Exclusive,
NRPN,
Bank Select messages, store incoming values in
variables
for later use...
the Event Processor is like
a swiss army knife of MIDI processing products, an indispensable tool in any
MIDI musician's arsenal.
The Event
Processor works by comparing each incoming MIDI event with each of its 10
settings. When an incoming MIDI event matches a setting, the event is
processed according to that setting. By combining different settings for
different incoming events, the Event Processor becomes an extremely powerful
tool capable of achieving a wide range of MIDI-processing functions.
Following is
a list of the Event Processor's functions, but better yet
download the Event Processor Programming Tools software
and read the Guide to the Event Processor and Event
Processor Plus by Bruce Wahler of Ashby Solutions. The
Programming Tools
software is free for download, quick to install, and contains lots of examples
that demonstrate the many applications of the Event Processor. And the
Guide
to the Event Processor and Event Processor Plus is a comprehensive guide
that makes it easy to understand everything these amazing products are capable of!
The Event Processor is programmed by
sending it MIDI
System Exclusive messages (see
FAQs
- Programming). This is easily done with the
Event Processor Programming Tools
software. Once programmed, the Event Processor's settings are retained even after power is
removed. The Event Processor can be reprogrammed with new settings as
often as needed.
The Event Processor is
MIDI-powered, and
requires no batteries or power supply to operate with most products (see FAQs - Power
for more information). A MIDI indicator LED lights up when the
product is powered and flashes when MIDI data passes through it.
