1. The reference note for lowest CV about 0 25V is the note with MIDI code 36 C If a row of notes is combined with a velocity row see remark 2 then the velocity values are supplied by this second row If no other row is defined as velocity row then the note instructions are sent with a velocity value of 100 If a note row is combined with a poly pressure row see remark 7 then the note row no longer sends Note ON OFF instructions but polyphonic aftertouch events instead The note value of the Poly AT instruction is generated by the note row the poly pressure value is generated with the poly pressure row A P 1 or A P 2 This approach to combining a note row with a poly pressure row was chosen because Note and Poly AT instructions are very similar i e 3 bytes in length In both cases the status byte is followed by the note byte and then the velocity byte for Note ON OFF or the pressure byte for Poly AT respectively 2 Velocity Poly Pressure Under MIDI the velocity instruction is coupled to the note instruction Thus if velocity has been assigned to one row it must be combined with a row which generates note instructions The three decimal points of the display are used to indicate which row s have been assigned to the velocity row For example if NOTES ON OFF has been assigned to row 1 and if the velocity values are to be provided by row 2 then the Event type d y n is to be entered for row 2 i e only the2. 16 Event Contr 0 Event Contr 1 Event Contr 31 Event NA1 Event NA2 Event NA5 Event Nr1 Event Nr2 Event Nr5 Event Pit Event PIP Event PI Midi instruction PRG Change 1 PRG Change 2 PRG Change 3 PRG Change 4 PRG Change 5 PRG Change 6 PRG Change 7 PRG Change 9 PRG Change 10 PRG Change 11 PRG Change 12 PRG Change 17 PRG Change 18 PRG Change 32 PRG Change 33 PRG Change 34 PRG Change 48 PRG Change 49 PRG Change 50 PRG Change 64 PRG Change 65 PRG Change 66 PRG Change 80 PRG Change 81 PRG Change 82 PRG Change 112 PRG Change 113 PRG Change 114 PRG Change 117 PRG Change 118 PRG Change 119 PRG Change 122 PRG Change 123 PRG Change 124 PRG Change 125 Hex Code Midichannel 16 F CF 00 CF 01 CF 02 CF 03 CF 04 CF 05 CF 06 Event Prg PRG Change 126 CF 7D Event Cn1 PRG Change 127 CF 7E Event AD1 PRG Change 128 CF 7F Remark At first one of the three rows must be selected via PRG Change 1 3 all subsequent instructions will then refer to that row The difference between PRG Change 4 5 and 6 7 is that PRG Change 4 5 switches the row ON OFF globally whereas 6 7 switches each of the 16 steps ON OFF individually This is equivalent to 16 individually sent ON OFF instructions PRG Change 17 48 If a step is switched OFF Note OFF events continue to be sent if the row in question has been assigned to a Note mode Only the Note OFF events are suppressed This arrang

Dynamic MIDI Channel Switching With Cn1 the dynamic MIDI channel switching 1 16 for row 1 can be assigned to rows 2 or 3 The sequence running in row 1 will then be dynamically distributed onto the MIDI channels which have been selected with the dials in row 2 or 3 The MIDI channel settings for row 1 see Menu 2 are then suspended In order for this function to work properly an appropriatenumber of receivers Expanders must be available on several MIDI channels MIDI Multimode Expanders which can receive on several different channels simultaneously lend themselves particularly well to this application 6 Addition Transposition Adi permits values entered with the dials in rows 2 and 3 to be added to row 1 For example if row 1 provides note instructions then this feature would provide an additional transposition capability It would permit the alteration of the sequence of row 1 without modifying the sequence itself Since rows 2 and 3 and row 1 can run at different speeds it is for example possible to let the transposition Rows 2 3 take effect only after each half or fully completed run of row 1 7 Polyphonic Aftertouch In order to send polyphonic aftertouch Poly AT instructions one of the four types of note events nA nr PA Pr is assigned to row 1 or 2 A second row is then assigned A P 1 Poly AT for row 1 or A P 2 Poly AT for row 2 The note row is then responsible for the pitch the AP row for the poly press
