Setup Mode
The Setup Editor
Status
This parameter determines what the current zone does when you select the setup in Setup
mode. Muted means that the zone sends and receives program changes and entry/exit
controller values, but doesn’t play notes. If the value is Active, the zone sends and receives
normally via MIDI. Solo causes only the current zone to play, “backgrounding” all other zones
(backgrounded zones send and receive program changes and entry/exit controller values, but
don’t play notes). With a value of Solo+Muted, the current zone is both soloed and muted;
when the zone isn’t soloed, it won’t produce sound.) See Set Controls Zone Mutes
(MUTES) on page 7-65 for a way to automatically set the assignable switches to mute zones.
Destination
This parameter determines whether the currently selected zone transmits only to the PC3LE
(Local), transmits only to the MIDI port (MIDI), transmits only to the USB port (USB_MIDI),
transmits to a pair of destinations (MIDI+Local, USB_MIDI+Local, or USB_MIDI+MIDI), or
transmits to all destinations (USB_MIDI+MIDI+Local).
MIDI Bank Mode (BankMode)
The BankMode you choose determines how bank numbers will be sent over MIDI when the
setup is selected, and in what format. It also affects how many MIDI banks and programs you
can choose.
None means no bank number is sent, just the program number. Ctl 0 means that the bank
number is sent as a MIDI Controller #0 message. Ctl 32 means it is sent as MIDI Controller #32.
Ctl 0/32 means it is sent as a dual-controller (two-byte) message, with the most-significant byte
(MSB) of the bank number sent as Controller 0 and the least-significant byte (LSB) as Controller
32. Bank Select messages allow you to specify banks numbered 0-127.
The MIDI Specification is a little ambiguous when it comes to Bank Select messages, as to
whether they should be only Controller 0, only Controller 32, or both Controllers sent as a pair.
Different manufacturers design their instruments to respond to different schemes, and if you
send Bank Select in a form an instrument doesn’t like, it may ignore it or interpret it incorrectly.
The BankMode parameter is designed to allow the greatest flexibility in addressing other MIDI
instruments. Usually you can look on the MIDI Implementation chart in the user’s manual of an
instrument to determine how it’s designed to receive Bank Select messages, and then set
BankMode for each zone to suit the instrument that is receiving data from it. The default setting,
which works with the largest number of other instruments, is Ctl 0/32.
A BankMode value of K2600 is intended for use with the Kurzweil K2000, K2500, or K2600. The
Bank Select message is sent as Controller 32, with a value between 0 and 127. The K2000, K2500,
and K2600 support only 10 banks, with 99 programs per bank, so Program Changes 100 or
higher are sent as Bank Select 1, followed by the last two digits as a Program Change. For
example, if Program 124 is assigned to the zone, this will be sent out the MIDI Out port as Bank
Select (Controller 32) 1, and then Program Change 24.
Entry Program Change (EntryProgChg)
This parameter enables or disables bank and program change commands sent to internal
programs or to the MIDI Out jack when you select setups. If it’s set to On, the program numbers
for the programs in the 16 zones will be sent via MIDI when a setup is selected. By setting this
parameter to Off, you can select a setup on the PC3LE without changing the internal programs
or those on MIDI devices receiving from the PC3LE. This is useful if you want to send only
controller data to the PC3LE or to MIDI devices, without changing program assignments.
