This is similar to the display shown when other types of MIDI informa-
tion are transmitted by a control (see page 5). Shown on the top line is
the type of MMC command defined, while on the bottom line at the left
is the MMC number of the command, followed by the usual MIDI mes-
sage type, MIDI channel and port routing displays.
MIDI Ports (Menu Page 4)
Determines which MIDI / USB port is used to send the MIDI information
generated by touching the control.
Eight different combinations of output ports can be selected, with any
multiple combination possible. A ‘U’ shown on the display indicates the
MIDI will be sent from the USB port, a ‘1’ that the MIDI OUT (1) port will
be used and a ‘2’ indicates that the MIDI OUT (2) port will be used.
Note : MMC commands are not transmitted when a ‘snapshot’ is acti-
vated.
The Template Edit ‘Note On/Off’ Pages
The following Menu pages are available if Control Type on menu page
1 is set to ‘Note On/Off’. These are only available if the control being
edited is a button :
Note Value (Menu Page 2)
Sets the note to be played when the button is pressed. Any note value
in the MIDI note range can be defined.
Button Action Type (Menu Page 3)
This setting determines how the button will behave. For flexibility, there
are three available options :
Normal - The velocity value (See below) will be transmitted when the
button is pressed. Data is only sent when the button is pressed, not
when released.
NOTE: Caution is required when using this option since a ‘permanent’
Note On message would be received by a device and there would be
no corresponding Note Off command to silence an increasing number
of Notes!
Momentary - The velocity value will be transmitted when the button is
pressed and a Note Off command (Note On with zero velocity value)
will be transmitted when the button is released. This would be the most
commonly used option.
Toggle - Pressing the button alternates between transmitting the veloci-
ty value data value and a Note off message. The velocity value is sent
on the first button press. Data is only sent when the button is pressed
and not when it is released.
It is clear to see that when a button is defined as a Momentary type, it
can become a reasonable trigger device for Drum type sounds or a
‘one shot’ sample, although the note velocity is fixed (see below) not
dynamic.
Note Velocity Value (Menu Page 3)
Defines the fixed velocity value used in the MIDI Note On message,
transmitted when the button is pressed.
The remaining menu pages are exactly the same in operation as those
settings already described for the Template Edit ‘CC’ menu pages.
These are described in detail on pages 16 & 17.
The Template Edit ‘SYSEX MESSAGE’ Pages
The following Menu pages are available if Control Type on menu page
1 is set to ‘SYSEX MESSAGE’ :
Value Display Type (Menu Page 2)
Low Value (Menu Page 3)
High Value (Menu Page 4)
Button Action Type (Menu Page 5)
Pot / Slider Control Type (Menu Page 6)
MIDI Channel (Menu Page 7)
MIDI Ports (Menu Page 8)
These menu pages are exactly the same in operation as those settings
already described for the Template Edit ‘CC’ menu pages. These are
described in detail on pages 16 to 17.
Sysex Byte Edit (Menu Page 9)
Here the individual bytes of the System Exclusive message are defined.
Up to 20 data bytes can be defined on this menu page
SYSEX MESSAGE:
F0
2B 3C 4D 5E
All data bytes are displayed in hexadecimal format. A cursor indicates
the byte currently being edited. Use the DATA / VALUE encoder to
define the byte’s value.
Any value in the range 0 to 7F, DV or F7 can be selected. DV ( Data
Value ) indicates where the value that is going to altered by the control
will be inserted. F7 is an ‘End of Message’ marker representing the last
byte of the message. This indicates where the End Of Exclusive MIDI
byte will be placed. All bytes following the 7F will not be transmitted. If
all 18 bytes of the System Exclusive message are used the F7 end of
message value will be automatically inserted.
Use the CURSOR LEFT / RIGHT buttons to select a different System
Exclusive byte for editing. Once the last data byte has been selected,
the lower line of the display will scroll two characters and a space to the
left such that the next set of data values are in view.
Control Name (Menu Page 10)
Here, a name is given to the control for easy reference. This is the
name displayed on the screen when a Template control is moved (see
page 5).
Control Name :
Amp Env Attack
A cursor indicates which character in the name can be altered. Use the
CURSOR buttons to select a different character position and the DATA /
VALUE encoder to alter the character in the name.
