Playing and recording of musical sequences (Sequencer)

Using recorded and/or modified songs with dedicated software

MIDI files recorded by the internal sequencer can be modified with the most common MIDI editing softwares. This

might prove useful to correct errors of the recording or to generally improve the track. However, we strongly advice

inexperienced users not to do so. When modifying a MIDI file, please follow these rules:

Do not modify the tracks channel. If it necessary, respect the internal sequencer channelling. The sections

are channelled as follows:

▪

Pedal: 1

▪

Man.I: 2

▪

Man.II: 3

The internal sequencer also assigns a name to the track while recording, that corresponds to the sections

playing a track. Most computer software can read the track names:

▪

"Pedal" track: Pedalboard

▪

"Choir" track: Man.I (not used in Cantorum Duo Plus) notes

▪

"Great" track: Man.I notes

▪

"Swell" track: Man.II notes

▪

"Solo" track: Man.IV (not used in Cantorum Duo Plus) notes

▪

"Volumes" track: divisional volumes and expression pedals

▪

"Stops" track: stops conditions

There are other tracksfor internal use and future developments only, that should not be altered.

Divisional volumes are recorded as Control Change 7 events. Expression pedals position as Control Change

11. These Control Change channel are identical to the previous ones.

The stops settings, together with cancel, enclosed, coupling settings etc. are recorded as System Exclusive

messages. We advice you not to alter these codes. If you wish to add or remove stops from a recording, you

should know its exclusive system code. To do so, you should monitor the MIDI OUT port of the organ and,

switching on and off a stop, check the MIDI code transmitted. Add or remove this code only from the "stops"

track.

When saving the MIDI file do not change the resolution of 384 tpqn (tick per quarter note).

The sequencer can also paly non-recorded tracks. Again, keep in mind that:

The track channelling may not be consistent with the internal sequencer. Reset the channels according to

what described above.

Stop codes might not be present in a MIDI track. In this case we advice you overdub (see page 39) with the

desired stop combination.

Divisional volumes and expression pedals may be lacking from a MIDI track. Again, we advice you overdub

the tracks.
