Setting Up MIDI Control for Captor X

Setting Up MIDI Control for Captor X

Captor X features a MIDI input for full MIDI control of the unit’s editable parameters via compatible MIDI controllers and switchers. In order to configure Captor X’s MIDI capability, please follow our guidelines below.
  1. First, connect the MIDI OUT of your controller/switcher to Captor X using the supplied mini jack converter cable.
  2. Change presets via your MIDI controller through Program Change (PC) messages. MIDI Program Changes range from 0 to 127. Specific hardware and software devices count the first program change as PC0 (thus a range of 0-127) and the others as PC1 (thus a range of 1-128). The first message (PC0 or PC1) will recall preset #1 on Captor X.
  3. Captor X’s editable parameters can be controlled via Control Change MIDI messages. To view the full MIDI mapping chart for Captor X, please review the following link.
  4. By default, Captor X is set to OMNI, listening to all available MIDI channels. It is possible to set a dedicated reception channel between 1 to 16.
  5. The provided MIDI to mini jack cable is a Format A cable; the same specification as that used by BOSS® and Korg® cables - please be advised that brands including Novation® and Arturia® use Format B cables.
  6. Controllers compatible with conventional MIDI norms and protocols are all compatible with Captor X in accordance with sending PC and CC messages.
