When MIDI data needs to be processed in very specific ways, MIDI Solutions' Event Processor can often provide the perfect solution. 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 instrument that can process MIDI events in almost any way imaginable. The Event Processor can assign MIDI events or ranges of MIDI events to other MIDI events or filter ranges of MIDI events, trigger MIDI events, switch between MIDI events, sequence MIDI events, scale or crossfade MIDI messages, transpose notes, scale velocities, assign 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 and an indispensable tool in every MIDI musician's arsenal.
The Event Processor works by comparing each incoming MIDI event with each of 10 settings. If 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 that can perform a wide range of MIDI processing functions.
The Event Processor can perform the following functions:
- MIDI event filtering
- Mapping of MIDI events
- Triggering MIDI events
- running through a series of MIDI events
- enable and disable settings
- storing incoming values in variables
One of the best ways to learn about these functions is to download the MIDI Solutions Programming Tools software. It's quick to install and easy to navigate, and it's free to download even if you haven't bought the Event Processor yet. A few minutes clicking through the various options is an excellent way to become familiar with the Event Processor. The Programming Tools software also includes many sample files that demonstrate the Event Processor's many uses. For a more in-depth look at all that the Event Processor has to offer, read the Guide to the Event Processor and Event Processor Plus by Bruce Wahler of Ashby Solutions. This comprehensive guide goes into detail about the amazing tasks these products are capable of!
The Event Processor is programmed by sending it MIDI System Exclusive messages. This is easily done with the MIDI Solutions Programming Tools software. Once programmed, the Event Processor's settings are retained even after the power is turned off. The Event Processor can be reprogrammed with new settings as often as necessary.
The Event Processor is MIDI powered and requires no batteries or power to operate with most MIDI products. A MIDI indicator LED lights up when the product is powered and flashes when MIDI data passes through it.
