Real time MIDI message monitoring
To the right of the In/out-port display is the real time MIDI information area. As MIDI messages come
through the MRCC for this specific routing, you can see which channel and which type of message it is.
In some cases more information such as CC number etc. is shown. A green arrow indicates MIDI
message activity, a red arrow shows clock messages.
Here are the abbreviations for each message type:
NOTE ON/OFF: "O"/ "X"
AFTER TOUCH - POLY/CHANNEL: "AT"
PITCH BEND: "PB"
CONTROL CHANGE: "CC"
PROGRAM CHANGE: "PC"
CLOCK: "TIC"
START: "->"
STOP: "!!!"
CONTINUE: ">>"
ACTIVE SENSING: "..?"
SYSTEM EXCLUSIVE: "SX"
TIME CODE QUARTER FRAME: "QT"
SONG POSITION: "SP"
SONG SELECT: "SS"
TUNE REQUEST: "@" (EAR)
SYSTEM RESET: "XX"
UNKNOWN: "??"
Filters (tab-stop)
The next row is the routing filters (see Appendix “B” for details). The icons represent:
1. Clock (tic only)
2. Note On/Off (including After Touch & Pitch bend)
3. CC
4. Program Change
5. Real Time (Stop, Start, Continue).
Use the Up/Dn buttons to tab through the icons. Once an icon is selected you can press the black
Enter button or twist the encoder to toggle them On (red) or Off (light gray). Red means the filter is
enabled. It’s kind of a double negative but seems to work at a glance.
Example: you can filter those nasty Stop/Start/Continue messages from messing with your
onboard Volca sequencer. Tab to the last icon in the row, the Stop Sign, press the black Enter
button turning it red and those messages are filtered!
Example: if one of your USB keyboard controllers insists on sending clock and you can’t turn it
off go to the first icon in the row, the Clock Face, press the black Enter button or rotate the
