MIDIScope
MIDIScope displays MIDI data, either coming into the
ExpressionMate or being produced by the instrument itself. To
use it, press the Global button, then select MIDIScope from the
Utilities list. Next select the source and message type as described
below. Now whenever you play a key or controller or send any
MIDI data to the ExpressionMate, the data shows up on the
display. This can be a highly useful tool for diagnosing problems
in a MIDI system, such as improper setting of controllers or dead
cables. To leave MIDIScope, press the Exit button.

MIDIScope: Overview

MIDIScope is active only while "in" the MIDIScope utility. The
current setup will continue to operate normally with MIDIScope
active. However, processing overhead is increased somewhat so
performance may suffer somewhat under heavy loading when
the MIDIScope screen is active.
When you enter MIDIScope, there will be a Signal Select screen
which allows you to select the MIDI stream to be displayed.
Choices are:
• Main Output
• Aux Output
• Main Input
• Aux Input
Only one at a time can be chosen. Note that when an output is
selected, only internally generated messages, including those
passed by the MrgUnPro global parameter, will be seen.
Messages passed by normal merging (MainMrgTo and
AuxMrgTo) will NOT be seen. If you want to see those, select the
appropriate input instead. ALL messages received by an input
will be seen. Undesired ones, such as Clk, can be Þltered out as
described below.
Next a Message Select screen will be presented. The choices are:
• Notes
• Controllers
• System (Real-time & sys-common)
• SysEx
Any combination of these may be selected, though you may
typically only select one.
