Description
• Use this function to set values related to MIDI.
• Kbd Transmit Channel: Selects the MIDI channel over which the VP1 transmits
keyboard and other performance data.
• Basic Receive Channel: Selects the input channel that drives the VP1 tone
generator. Data received from external MIDI devices over the selected channel(s)
will drive the tone generator, while data received over other channels will not. If
the setting is "kbd", the VP1 ignores all incoming MIDI data, responding only to
the action of its own keyboard. If the setting is "omni", the VP1 tone generator
responds to all channels. Note also that the VP1 will accept program-change
requests only if they are received over the selected channel(s).
• Local: Determines whether the VP1 keyboard drives the VP1's tone generator. If
the setting is "on", the keyboard drives the tone generator, so that playing at the
keyboard produces sound from the VP1. If the setting is "off", the internal
connection between the keyboard and tone generator is broken: the keyboard
cannot produce local sound but continues to generate MIDI OUT data, while the
tone generator responds only to external data coming in through the MIDI IN
connector.
• Note On/Off: Determines whether the VP1 accepts incoming MIDI note-on data
for all note numbers, or only for even- or odd-numbered notes. If the setting is
"odd", for example, the VP1 produces sound in response to note-on data for odd
note numbers, but not in response to note-on data for even note numbers.
• Program Change: Determines whether the VP1 switches voices in response to
incoming program-change signals, and whether it can transmit program-change
signals to other devices. If the setting is "off", the VP1 ignores all incoming
program-change data and produces no outgoing program-change data. If the
setting is "on", the VP1 switches voices in accordance with program-change
numbers received from external MIDI devices, and remains capable of transmitting
program-change signals to other MIDI devices.But note that regardless of the
setting, the VP1 always ignores program change numbers 64 through 127, and also
ignores any bank-select data.
