4 Banks Mode question? Posted on: 11.02.2011 by Delfina Lorimor I have no idea what the four banks mode is. I am assuming its 4 banks of effects but just wanted to make sure. | |

Makes mapping a bit trickier but it can be done, at least. |

| Delfina Lorimor 14.02.2011 | Can you guys tell me what happens when you press the top 4 buttons? I am assuming the first button in the row goes to bank one, the second to two, etc. When I do this, the first button activates an effect and doesn't "bank". I updated my MF firmware and dl'd the new mapping... thanks |

| Delfina Lorimor 13.02.2011 | ic, thank you. whenever I press the top four buttons, its is mapped to the second banks effects and it activates only deck 2 (the lower three rows activates the 1st deck with effects 1, 3 and 4). Is my mapping faulty? Thanks |
| Meg Reinoehl 11.02.2011 | By default, the MIDI Fighter just has 16 buttons on it that can trigger 16 different MIDI CC's or MIDI notes. 4 banks mode changes the MIDI Fighter so that instead of one "bank" of 16 buttons, it uses the top 4 buttons to bank through 4 banks of 12 buttons. Another way to look at it is that normally the 16 buttons on the MIDI Fighter triggers notes C2-D#3. In 4 banks mode, bank 1 sets the remaining 12 buttons to notes C2-B2, bank 2 sets them to C3-B3, bank 3 to C4-B4, and bank 4 to C5-B5. This allows for 3x as many commands to be set using the same controller. |
