PITCH BEND <12)
This para1eter determines "hether pitch bend infor•ation fro• the
source instrument will be processed
t•t•)
or ignored
c•o•1
by
the
MASTER KEYBDARD. When the value •1• is set, data of pitch wheel
gove•ent ~n the trans~itting instru•ent
"ill
be passed on
by
the
HASTER KEYBOARD, changing the pitch of notes played
by
the receiving
instru•ent. .

NHEEL "ODULATIDN (13)
The sa-e applies to »odulation Nheel infor1ation1 the BIT ·"ASTER
KEYBOARD will
pass
on the infor~ation when this
parameter
is
set to
•1n
1
and ignore it if the value is set to
•o•.
I
RELEASE <141
Here you can select whether release pedal infor•ation fro• the source
instrument should be
passed
on
by
the "ASTER KEYBOARD
t•1•1
or ignored
t•o•1.

PR06RAt1 CHANGE (15)
Vou want the NASTER KEYBOARD to pass on prograa changes originating in
the source instrument? Set this value to a1"; if you'd rather ignore
the data enter

same
goes for After Touch info - AJ• to pass it on,

BENS lT l Y lTY
We have to start by pointing out that only synthe§izers that already
are velocity and/or after touch sensitive will be able to process such
data from your "ASTER KEYBOARD. MIDI syste~s aanage to do a lot, but
•iracles are still out of reach! A synthesizer without touch
sensitivity can receive such MIDI data, but will si~ply ignore it
while cheerfully acting on the rest. Ho~ever, the "ASTER KEYBOARD
co~es
equipped
with a special feature which lets you convert After
Touch information to other for•ats, such as Pitch Bend or Wheel
Modulation. But ·again: more about this later,
Unlike ~any synthesizers, the BIT t1ASTER KEYBOARD utilises the full
dynamic
range
provided under NID! specifications
(i.e,
0 ••• 127)
1
so
you'll find that synthesizers with a limited dynanic range cone alive
when 'fed' with such rich fare! This however, ~ay prove to be too Duch
of a good thing for units not nor~ally utilizing the full dynamic
range. so,e synthesizers, Yamaha<TH)'s X-range in particular, will
begin to 'distort' sounds Nhen receiving
data
"ith a high dynaaic
value. Parameter (19) below allows you to 'co•press' this range to fit
your receiving unit's require•ents.
