Source

If you’d like to use the Korg NTS-1 with the DirtyWave M8, you’ll need the MIDI CC codes in hexadecimal. This table is converted from this source. Korg also has a MIDI Implementation Chart that contains the parameter addresses, but it does not give any hints about the required values for different selections.

To create this table, I manually copied the results from the source material into Excel and then I wrote this vbScript user defined function to use to convert the values in the usage notes to hexadecimal.

Motivation

The NTS-1 loses all settings when powered off. If you configure an instrument in your M8 (or other MIDI controller) with these codes, you can ensure that your settings are saved.

Warnings

• The M8 is limited to 10 parameters.
• The M8 tries to be efficient about sending CC codes.

I think codes are only sent just before notes are sent and if the M8 doesn’t think it has already sent the same codes recently. If you restart your NTS-1 the M8 won’t send any CC codes. You’ll have to fiddle with the values for each code to trigger the M8 to re-send them (for example: increase by one, decrease by one).

Thanks to YouTube user Space Town for creating this video which motivated this work. I recommend the video for a demonstration of using these devices together.
