Receiving MIDI Program Change messages (PC)

Incoming MIDI Program Change messages are used for navigating through Presets, Banks, and Setlists on Quad Cortex.

We will use CC#32 (value 0-12) for changing Setlists. Up to 12 custom Setlists can be stored in Quad Cortex:

  • Factory Folder (Setlist 0)
  • My Presets (Setlist 1)
  • Setlist 2
  • Setlist 3
  • Setlist 4
  • Setlist 5
  • Setlist 6
  • Setlist 7
  • Setlist 8
  • Setlist 9
  • Setlist 10
  • Setlist 11
  • Setlist 12

CC#0 will be used for splitting up the Setlists into groups of 128 Presets: 

  • CC#0 value 0 is used for Presets 0-127.
  • CC#0 value 1 is used for Presets 128-256.


Example #1

If you want to load the Quad Cortex Preset 129 (17A) in Setlist 5, then you would send the following PC message to the unit:

CC#0 value 1, CC#32 value 5, Program #1

Example #2

If you want to load the Quad Cortex Preset 68 (9D) in Setlist 9, then you would send the following PC message to the unit:

CC#0 value 0, CC#32 value 9, Program #67

The last CC#0 value will be remembered until the user changes the CC#0 value again and chooses to load a Preset from a different preset group.
