V-Accordion FR-18 diatonic
■ Left hand
Only the “left-hand” MIDI channels transmit expres-
sion messages.
Program Change TX
This is a MIDI filter, i.e. a parameter that allows you to
specify whether or not the given MIDI data type
should be transmitted. “TX” is short for “transmis-
sion”. This means two things: (1) the filter only
applies to program changes sent by the FR-18
diatonic, and (2) it is only meaningful when the “MIDI
OUT/IN” parameter is set to “Out”.
Program change messages are used to select sounds
or memories on the receiving instrument simply by
recalling another sound (or memory) on the trans-
mitting instrument. The FR-18 diatonic transmits
program changes when you select Sets (on the Basic
Channel) and registers (on the MIDI channel assigned
to the section for which you are selecting a different
register). Select “Off” if you don’t need that.
NOTE
All of the FR-18 diatonic’s registers transmit program
change/bank select clusters when pressed. And when you
set the “MIDI OUT/IN” parameter to “In”, the FR-18 diatonic
also receives those messages.
MIDI OUT/IN
This parameter allows you to set the function of the
FR-18 diatonic’s MIDI OUT/IN socket.
■ Out
Select this setting if you want to play on the FR-18
diatonic’s keyboards and transmit the MIDI data gen-
erated by your playing to an external device.
■ In
Select this setting if you want to receive MIDI data
generated by an external device. In this case, the
FR-18 diatonic can only be played from an external
MIDI device.
NOTE
See p. 47 for the MIDI channels the FR-18 diatonic’s parts
use.
NOTE
“MIDI OUT/IN” is reset to “Out” when you switch off the
FR-18 diatonic.
