rarily reset these values to 0.

You can also specify how note playback is affected by MIDI
note-on and note-off messages.

• As an example, consider the following programs:
PROGRAM 001 and PROGRAM 002.
PROGRAM 001 ... This program uses a sample to
which the modulation wheel is assigned for
pitch modulation depth control (via MIDI
receive channel 1).
PROGRAM 002 ... This program uses a sample to
which the modulation wheel is assigned for fil-
ter modulation depth control (via MIDI receive
channel 1).
• Now, if you're playing PROGRAM 001 and the modu-
lation wheel has been used to apply heavy pitch
modulation, then you switch to PROGRAM 002, the
following will occur:
If the MIDI channel 1 Control Reset =
off for PROGRAM 002 ... PROGRAM 002 will
beging playing with correspondingly heavy fil-
ter modulation.
If the MIDI channel 1 Control Reset =
on for PROGRAM 002 ... PROGRAM 002 will
begin playing with no filter modulation. Filter
modulation will then be applied the instant the
modulation wheel is moved.
Knob 5
[ Turn] Note On Type
Determines how notes are played when note-on and
note-off messages are received.
[Range] Normal, Toggle
• Normal ... The note begins playing when a note-on
message is received, and stops when a note-
off message is received.
• Toggle ... Note-off messages are ignored. Any
note which was previously sounding on the
same MIDI channel will be stopped and the
new note will begin playing when a note-on
message is received (only one note can sound
at a time on any one MIDI channel).
