S3200XL Operator’s Manual - Version 1.00 Page 233
By using this filter, you can control the response of the S3200XL to MIDI events. By filtering
out aftertouch on a percussion program where it is not needed, for instance, you can improve
the response of the S3200XL when a lot of MIDI data is received.
PPM PAGE - MONITORING MIDI
Pressing the key (F3) will display this screen:
This page has no parameters. Instead, it provides a real-time display of all Note On information
received on the 16 MIDI channels. The higher the bar on the display, the greater the velocity of
the received note. This page is called ‘PPMs’ because it simulates the behaviour of audio bar-
graph Peak Program Meters.
Under normal circumstances when playing the S3200XL from a MIDI keyboard, you will receive
a display such as is shown above with the bar graph showing incoming MIDI on the selected
channel but, when sequencing multi-timbrally on several channels, you will see a display such
as:
This is a very useful page that allows you to track down any problems you may be experiencing
when sequencing. For example, if a part isn’t sounding, you can check if the S3200XL is
receiving MIDI on its channel. If it is, then it may be some other problem such as wrong output
assignment, channel fader on the mixer not open, the sound hasn’t loaded, etc..
MIDI RECEIVE PAGE - ANALYSING MIDI
Another MIDI receive monitor is available in the page. Here, you can monitor other types
of MIDI information received by the S3200XL.
Again, this is especially useful if you are faultfinding on your MIDI system. Information from the
MIDI IN is displayed, and a channel filter may be set at the top of the screen (OMNI or 1 to 16).
When idle (i.e. not receiving MIDI), the screen shown above is displayed - when receiving MIDI,
something like the following is shown:
