The MIDI Xmit Menu

The parameters in the MIDI Xmit menu control several aspects of the MIDI information that the
PC1 generates. By default, the MIDI Xmit parameters affect both the PC1 and external MIDI
equipment. This is true in all performance modes. By changing the value of the Dest parameter,
you can make these parameters affect only the PC1, or only external MIDI equipment.

MIDI Channel

Determines which MIDI channel the current zone uses. Use a value of Off to disable a zone. In
the default setup, each zone corresponds to the channel number (Zone 1 uses Channel 1, Zone 2
uses Channel 2, and so on).

Destination (Dest)

Determines whether the zone transmits only to the PC1, only to MIDI, or to both. The default-
setup value is both (Local+MIDI). If you set the value to Local, the zone sends it MIDI
information only to the PC1. If you're using the PC1 to control other instruments or to record to
an external sequencer, use a value of MIDI or Local+MIDI.

Bend Range, Semitones (BndRng ST)

Sets the number of semitones of pitch bend applied by any physical controller that sends either
the Pitch Up, Pitch Down, Pitch, or Rvrs Pitch MIDI Controller message, when that controller is
at its maximum (sending a value of 127). In the default setup, the Pitch Wheel controls pitch
bending.
The value of this parameter gets added to the value of BndRng ct. You can think of BndRng ST as
a coarse adjustment, and BndRng ct as a fine adjustment. For example, if you want the maximum
amount of pitch bend to be slightly more than a whole note, set BndRng ST to 2, and BndRng ct
to a relatively low number like 10.
In the default setup, BndRng ST is 2, and BndRng ct is 0, so pushing the Pitch Wheel all the way
up bends the pitch two semitones up, and pulling it all the way down bends the pitch two
semitones down.

Bend Range, Cents (BndRng ct)

Sets the number of cents (100ths of a semitone) of pitch bend applied by any physical controller
that sends either the Pitch Up, Pitch Down, Pitch, or Rvrs Pitch MIDI Controller message, when
that controller is at its maximum. The value of this parameter gets added to the value of BndRng
ST. In the default setup, BndRng ct is 0.

Auxiliary Bend 1, Up (AuxBend1 Up)

Sets the number of semitones of upward pitch bend applied by any physical controller that sends
AuxBnd1 (MIDI 21), when that controller is at its maximum. In the default setup and the internal
setup, the optional ribbon controller is set to send AuxBnd1.

Auxiliary Bend 1, Down (AuxBend1 Dwn)

Sets the number of semitones of downward pitch bend applied by any physical controller that
sends AuxBnd1 (MIDI 21), when that controller is at its maximum. In the default setup, the
optional ribbon controller is set to send AuxBnd1.
