Midi Message Analyzer
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The MA1 is a fully input isolated midi signal analyzer. The MA1 module rec eives midi messages from
a keyboard, computer or any midi instruments or device, decodes and displays the messages. By
entering the "HOLD" mode, the last few messages can be viewed. This unit can be programmed for
many different functions and custom configurations . By ganging MA1's together, each one could be
programmed to filter out selected messages, and at a quick gla nce the latest information is displayed.
The MA1 has 2 receive modes of operation:
DECODE MODE
In the Decode mode the display shows the type of message , Channel number, and decimal
equivalent of the data. The 'Note' information can be viewed as the decoded note or as a note
number. Middle C can be changed from C3, C4, or C5. In the HOLD mode the last few bytes can be
displayed and scrolled through, including a message counter. Any message type can be filtered out.
An indicator shows if 'Midi Time Code' (F1), 'Time Clock' (F8), and 'Active Sensing (FE) messages
present whether they're filtered or not. System Exclusive messages are displayed with all the
associated bytes that can be scrolled through indepen dently too and displays a total byte count and
an individual byte counter.
HEX MODE
In the Hex mode the data is displayed in a Hexadecimal format for technical viewing, and displays
the data AS IS without any decoding. In the HOLD mode the last 112 bytes can be displayed and
scrolled through, including a byte counter. 'Midi Time Code' (F1), 'Time Clock' (F8), and 'Active
Sensing (FE) messages can be filtered out. An indicator shows if those messages are present
whether they're filtered or not.
The bottom right of the display shows errors, filter on/off, and if MTC, Timing clock and Active
Sensing are present. Both modes retain 112 bytes of data that allows the user to 'HOLD' and view by
scrolling left and right through the data.
