MIDI SETUP
The MIDI setup window (Control+M) can be found under the MIDI window menu. In the MIDI Setup window, select the MIDI IN and OUT ports to which the FOURM is connected and set the MIDI Channel to match the MIDI channel on the FOURM.
Once the proper ports and MIDI channel are selected, you should see the current FOURM software version at the top of the MIDI Setup window as shown. This confirms that SoundEditor is communicating with the Sequential FOURM.
To establish a proper MIDI communication. Make sure that the Global Parameters are set MANUALLY (not through the computer) on FOURM as follows.
To control the FOURM in real-
12. MIDI Channel: ALL
16. MIDI Param Out: NRPN
17. MIDI Param In: NRPN
18. MIDI Control: On
For data communication:
19. MIDI Sysex: ON
20. MIDI SysX Port: USB or MIDI -
12. MIDI Out Port: MIDI or USB depending on your connection.
Also, please make sure that the Editor and the FOURM have the same MIDI channel or FOURM MIDI channel is set to ALL.
If you experience connectivity problems please try the following:
- Close all other applications that may be using MIDI ((Midi Ox, Midi Yoke, your DAW, etc.) and then try it again.
- Restart both FOURM and the editor.
- If you are using USB hub and having trouble getting on-
line, temporarily disconnect all other devices. - Use 33. Reset Globals function and restart both FOURM and the editor.
GLOBAL SETTINGS
The FOURM Globals (Control+G) can also be found under the MIDI window menu. Please note that some settings that are necessary for maintaining a proper MIDI communication are disabled and cannot be changed directly for the editor.
MIDI WINDOW MENU
Here you can access all functions that will enable the editor to communicate with the FOURM and sync the data by receiving all banks.
In the MIDI Setup you can configure which MIDI ports should be used to communicate with FOURM.
Global Settings panel lets you view all FOURM Globals.
Important. Changes made by the editor are not saved automatically on FOURM.
To write global settings changes you need to enter and exit Globals mode directly on the FOURM panel.
