Simply receiving a Bank Select message will not cause the
program or bank to change. The program or bank will
actually change when a Program Change message is
received.
Program mode
• In Prog P0: Play, these messages will transmit and
receive program change and bank select operations.
They will not be received in P1–P9.
Note: Drum track programs do not support transmission or
reception of program change or bank select messages.
Combination, Sequencer modes
• Program change and bank select messages can be
received on the MIDI channel specified for each timbre/
MIDI track to select programs on that timbre/track.
• When you select a combination, program change and
bank select messages will be transmitted by timbres
whose Status is EXT or EX2.
In Sequencer mode, program change or bank select mes-
sages will be transmitted by tracks whose Status is BTH,
EXT, or EX2 when you select the Program Select parame-
ter (0–1–1(2)b), when you select a song, or when you
return to the beginning of a measure. For more informa-
tion, please see "Program Select" on page 131.
• In Combination and Sequencer modes, transmission/
reception can be switched on/off for each timbre/track.
See "Enable Program Change" on page 103, and Global
P1: MIDI "Track MIDI Out" on page 222.
Selecting combinations
You can use program change and bank select messages to
select combinations in the same way that you select
programs.
• Combinations 000–127 in banks A–D correspond to
program changes [Cn, 00]–[Cn, 7F].
• Similarly as for program banks, the internal banks that
correspond to each bank select number will depend on
the Bank Map setting (Global 0–2a). For more
information, please see "Bank Map" on page 218.
• In Combi P0: Play, program change and bank select
messages are transmitted/received on the global MIDI
channel. They are not received in P1– P9.
Note: All program changes can be turned off in MIDI Filter
(Global 1–2b)
As needed, you can independently turn all program changes
on/off, specify whether or not incoming messages will be
able to change combinations, and turn reception/
transmission of bank select messages on/off.
• If Combination Change (Global 1–2b) is unchecked, the
combination will not change even if a program change
on the global MIDI channel is received in Combi P0:
Play. In this case, the program of the timbre that matches
the MIDI channel of the received message will change.
• If Bank Change (Global 1–2b) is unchecked, bank select
messages will not be transmitted or received.
Aftertouch
Channel aftertouch [Dn, vv]
(n: channel, vv: value)
When this message is received, the aftertouch effect will be
applied. The assigned alternate modulation or dynamic
modulation effect will also be applied.
The keyboard of the M50 itself cannot transmit
aftertouch. Aftertouch can be received only from the
internal sequencer or from MIDI IN.
MIDI applications Messages transmitted and received by the M50
• Aftertouch reception for the entire instrument can be
turned on/off in Enable After Touch (Global 1–2b).
• In Combination and Sequencer modes, aftertouch can be
turned on/off independently for each timbre/track
(Enable After Touch Combi/Seq 5–1–1(2)c).
Polyphonic aftertouch [An, kk, vv]
(n: channel, kk: note number, vv: value)
There is another type of aftertouch called Polyphonic Key
Pressure, which allows aftertouch to be applied
independently for individual keys. This message can be
used as an alternate modulation source, but cannot be
transmitted by the M50's keyboard. In order to use this
message, it will have to be received from an external device,
or recorded on your sequencer.
The aftertouch 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 M50'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 397)
Control change
[Bn, cc, vv]
Transmitted and received as (n: channel, cc: control change
no., vv: value)
For more information, please see "MIDI transmission when
the M50's controllers are operated" on page 386, and "M50
and MIDI CCs" on page 388.
• Control changes can be turned on/off as a whole in
Enable Control Change (Global 1–2b).
• In Combination and Sequencer modes, the P3: MIDI
Filter1 settings allow transmission/reception of control
changes to be individually turned on/off for each
timbre/track. For the assignable controllers (SW1, SW2,
Realtime Control Knob 1-B – 4-B, and 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 knobs 1–4
when the control surface Realtime Control B mode is
selected.
Although you can select MIDI CC#00–CC#119 for the ARP
Controllers and the Chord Trigger Switches, you will
normally use the default settings that are assigned when
you execute the menu command Reset Controller MIDI
Assign with Default Setting, and leave chord trigger
switches turned Off, ARP Controllers SW – ARP ON/OFF at
CC#014, KNOB1 – ARP GATE at CC#022, KNOB2 – ARP
VELOCITY at CC#023, KNOB3 – ARP LENGTH at
CC#024, KNOB4 – ARP OCTAVE at CC#025.
If you want to assign a CC# to the Chord Trigger Switches,
use the CC#110 111, 112, and 113 settings that are assigned
when you execute Reset Controller MIDI Assign with the
CC Default setting.
