Polyphonic aftertouch [An, kk, vv]
(n: channel, kk: note number, vv: value)
There is another type of after touch called Polyphonic Key
Pressure, which allows after touch to be applied
independently for individual keys. This message can be used
as an alternate modulation source, but cannot be transmitted
by the KRONOS's keyboard. In order to use this message, it
will have to be received from an external device, or recorded
on your sequencer.
The after touch mentioned in this manual refers to Channel
After Touch.
Pitch bend
Pitch bend change [En, bb, mm]
(n: channel, bb: lower byte of the value, mm: upper byte of
the value, together expressing a value of 16,384 steps where
8,192 [bb, mm = 00H, 40H] is the center value)
When the KRONOS's joystick is moved in the X axis
(left/right), a pitch bend effect will be applied, and pitch
bender messages will also be transmitted. When these
messages are received, a pitch bend effect will be applied.
The range of pitch change that is produced by pitch bend
messages can also be adjusted via MIDI. (See "Changing the
pitch bend range" on page 1152.)
Control change
[Bn, cc, vv]
Transmitted and received as (n: channel, cc: control change
no., vv: value)
For more information, see "Dynamic MIDI Sources &
Destinations" on page 1126, "MIDI transmission from
KRONOS controllers" on page 1133, and "KRONOS and
MIDI CCs" on page 1137
• Control changes can be turned on/off as a whole in
"Enable Control Change" (Global 1–1c).
• In Combination and Sequencer modes, the P3: MIDI
Filter settings allow transmission/reception of control
changes to be individually turned on/off for each
timbre/track. For the assignable controllers (SW1, SW2,
REALTIME KNOBS 1–8, Foot Pedal/Switch), MIDI
filter settings will apply to the control change number to
which each controller is assigned. "Other Control
Change" applies to control changes that are not covered
by the items of the other check boxes.
Note: You can select MIDI CC#00–CC#119 for
"REALTIME KNOBS 5–8" and for "vector joystick CC
control."
Although you can select MIDI CC#00–CC#119 for the
KARMA controllers and the vector joystick, you will
normally use the default settings that are assigned when you
execute the page menu command "Reset Controller MIDI
Assign" with Default Setting, and leave KARMA
Controllers turned Off, vector joystick "VJS X" at CC#118,
and "VJS Y" at CC#119.
If you assign a CC# to KARMA controllers, use the same
CC#s as when "Reset Controller MIDI Assign" is executed
with the CC Default setting.
MIDI applications Messages transmitted and received by the KRONOS
Selecting program/combination banks
Bank select (CC#00, CC#32)
Technically, Bank Select is a controller. In practice,
however, it is a component of Program Change. For more
information, see "Program Change/Bank Select" on
page 1146)
Using the joystick to apply modulation
Modulation 1 depth (CC#01) [Bn, 01, vv]
When you move the KRONOS's joystick in the +Y direction
(Vertical upward), Modulation 1 Depth messages will be
transmitted. When these messages are received, the same
effect will be applied as when the KRONOS's joystick is
operated. Normally this will apply a vibrato effect (pitch
LFO).
• In Combination and Sequencer modes,
Modulation 2 depth (CC#02) [Bn, 02, vv]
When you move the KRONOS's joystick in the –Y direction
(Vertical downward), Modulation 2 Depth messages will be
transmitted. When these messages are received, the same
effect will be applied as when the KRONOS's joystick is
operated. Normally this will apply a wah effect (filter LFO).
• In Combination and Sequencer modes,
Other manufacturers use this message for other purposes
(e.g., breath controller, etc.)
Controlling portamento
Portamento time (CC#05) [Bn, 05, vv]
If you assign the above CC# to a REALTIME KNOBS 5–8
or as the vector joystick CC control function, rotating that
knob will transmit Portamento Time messages, and will
modify the speed at which the portamento pitch changes.
When this message is received, the result will be the same as
when the controller is operated.
Portamento switch (CC#65) [Bn, 41, vv]
When the above CC# is assigned to SW1, SW2 or the
ASSIGNABLE SWITCH, operating that switch will
transmit vv=127 [7F] for ON or vv=0 [00] for OFF, and the
portamento effect will be switched on/off. When this
message is received, the result will be the same as when the
controller is operated. (vv of 63 [3F] or less will be OFF, and
64 [40] or greater will be ON.) (See "SW1/2 Assignments"
on page 1121)
• In Combination and Sequencer modes,
• In Sequencer mode, portamento time/switch messages
transmission/reception can be switched on/off for each
timbre/track ("Enable JS+Y" Combination/ Sequencer
3–1a).
transmission/reception can be switched on/off for each
timbre/track ("Enable JS-Y" Combination/ Sequencer 3–
1a).
transmission/reception of this message can be turned
on/off independently for each timbre/track ("Enable
Portamento SW" Combination/Sequencer 3–1a).
will be transmitted by each track whose Status is BTH,
EXT, or EX2 when you set "Portamento" (2–2a), re-
select a song or SMF, or return to the beginning of a
