MIDI FUNCTIONS
Next to the EDIT PROGRAM button is the MIDI button and here you can set the
basic 'global' MIDI parameters for the 5950.
To access the MIDI pages, press the MIDI button and the display will read:
These are the default settings if you turn the S950 on with no disk inserted.
It tells you that OMNI is switched to ON (i.e. it will receive all MIDI
channels and so will operate with the MIDI controller regardless of its
setting). To set the S950 so that it responds to one channel only, you must
turn OMNI to OFF and this is done by moving the cursor to the Omni on/off
field by pressing the 'cursor >' button twice and then pressing the OFF(-)
button on the blue keypad. You can now move the cursor to the Basic MIDI
channel field by pressing the 'cursor <' button and make your data entry
using the CONTROL knob or by inputting a two digit number on the keypad. The
5950 will now only receive MIDI on the selected channel only.
Mote: The channel selected here sets the base MIDI channel for the 5950.
Using Page 16 In ED17 PROGRAM. you can. of course, set individual keygroups
to respond to different MIDI channels relative to this base channel using the
MIDI channel offset feature in order to set up a multl-timbral situation
suitable for multi channel sequencing. Please refer to ED17 PROGRAM for more
information on this.
The next page displays:
which is the default setting.
It is possible on the 5950 to sample, edit a sample and create or edit a
program without the need for an external MIDI controller by using the PB or
'playback' button located near the blue keypad. In any of these modes, you
can hear the sound you are working on simply by hitting the PB button. This
page allows you to set the channel, note and velocity of the PB button's
functions. Furthermore, when you hit the PB button, the note parameters
specified
in
this
simultaneously trigger an external MIDI synth, sampler, drum machine or
module.
To alter the default settings, simply move the cursor to the appropriate
field using the 'cursor > and/or <' buttons and make the data entry using the
CONTROL knob or a two digit number on the blue keypad.
Page 03, the next page, is extremely useful for checking incoming MIDI data
to the 5950. The display reads:
where # Is the incoming data.
Basically, this page 'reads' all incoming MIDI data and then displays it
instantly on the screen. To see this is action, simply play a note on your
MIDI controller and see what happens. The 'Channel' field will display the
