Midi Note Number [Note#] - Yamaha SU10 Owner's Manual

This feature is useful for
• Preventing simultaneous play of clashing sounds.
• Reducing risk of accidental sound dropouts caused by too many samples play-
ing at once.
• Operational efficiency: You can use a single pad to simultaneously stop play
of one sample and start play of another. This operation would otherwise re-
quire two (carefully timed) button presses.

MIDI NOTE NUMBER [Note#]

Purpose: Selects the pad's MIDI Note Number.
Values:
Off; C-2,...,G8
Press/hold [–1] or [+1], or input MIDI NOTE ON message.
To set:
Explanation
This function selects the MIDI Note Number assigned to the pad. You can drive
the pad's play by inputting MIDI messages carrying the selected note number; or
you can use the pad to drive the corresponding note of an external MIDI device.
You can set the value in either of two ways:
• By pressing [+1] or [–1]
• By inputting a MIDI NOTE ON message from an external MIDI device. (The
setting will automatically change to match the message's note number.)
Under default conditions, note numbers are assigned sequentially starting from
pad A1 (note "C1") and ending with pad D12 (note "B4").
If you select a note number that is already in use on another pad, the setting on the other pad
automatically switches to Off.
The assignments made here are not effective during SCALE play. For information about how
note numbers are handled during SCALE play, see page 20.
The SU10 recognizes velocity values in MIDI Note-On messages, and varies the replay level
accordingly.
It is possible to have a MIDI Note On message drive a sample in reverse. To use this feature, you
must first set the SU10's "program" to 2 (by sending a MIDI Program Change message carrying
program number 01h). Once you have done this, any Note-On message with a velocity of 110 or
above will drive the corresponding sample in reverse — the same action you can get locally by
holding [REV] while pressing the pad.
