MIDI specification for Aggressively Distorting Advanced Machine FW v1.0
With Aggressively Distorting Advanced Machine’s MIDI input, you can change between your saved presets and update the smart potentiometers, touch sliders, and encoders.
Aggressively Distorting Advanced Machine responds to MIDI messages from all channels, so you do not have to otherwise specify a MIDI channel to use Aggressively Distorting Advanced Machine’s MIDI input functionality.
To change the parameters of Aggressively Distorting Advanced Machine, you must send MIDI control change messages. These are mapped to ADAM’s parameters as follows:
0 to 4: Smart potentiometers from Compression to Level, left-to-right
5 to 10: Touch-sensitive sliders, left-to-right
11 to 13: Encoder rotation setting, left-to-right
The value of the control change message (0 to 127) is mapped across each of these controls.
For example, a control change 3 message with value 64 would set the Blend potentiometer halfway, and a control change 10 message with value 0 would move the high shelf EQ band to -12 dB.
To change between Aggressively Distorting Advanced Machine’s presets, you must send MIDI program change messages. The program change number will always map to presets A, B, or C.
Please note that these specifications are subject to change in future firmware updates.
