The Bank Select controller is used with channel 15 to
choose which group of eight channels or inputs are
affected. It is therefore necessary to send a MIDI
message of BE 00 xx (where xx selects the group of
eight channels or inputs) before sending the Control

1 – MIDI Control/Program Change messages
Effect parameter change MIDI messages
Use the following MIDI channels to send messages
to the 2488 effects (see the User’s Guide for further
details about the types of effect available on the
2488):
Channels 1 through 8 are used for mic effects. The
Bank Select controller is used with channel 14 to
choose which group of eight channels or inputs is
affected.
Bank 0: Mixer channels 1 though 8
Bank 1: Mixer channels 9 through 16
Bank 2: Mixer channels 17 through 24
Bank 3: Inputs A through H
Channel 9 is used to control the stereo dynamics processor effect.
Example effect parameter change
This example shows the MIDI bytes (in hexadecimal
notation) needed to set the ratio of a compressor
effect on mixer channel 9.
Note how Control Changes 6 and 38 (decimal) are
used for data entry.
Control Changes 96 and 97 (decimal) are used for
increment and decrement as well.
Channel 10 is used to control the single effect.
Channel 11 is used to control the multi-effect.
The way in which the effects are controlled is by the
use of NRPN (non-Registered Parameters).
Controller 98 is used for the LSB of each NRPN, and
controller 99 for the MSB.
In effect settings where more than one effect may be
selected, the same NRPN may produce a different
outcome, depending on the selected effect.
NOTE
All values, etc. listed in these tables are in decimal
notation.

BD 00 01 Sends a Control Change 0 (Bank Select)
message on channel 14 to select bank 1
B0 63 00 Sends NPRN MSB to 2nd channel in group

B0 62 01 Sends 1 as NPRN LSB to 2nd channel in
