Control the chord trigger switches 1–4
If you assign the following CC#s to chord trigger switches
1–4, the specified CC# will be transmitted when you operate
the M50, and the M50 itself will be controlled
simultaneously. When these messages are received, the
result will be the same as if you operated the M50 itself.
The CC# settings for the chord trigger switches are made in
the Global P2– MIDI CC# Assign page. Normally you will
leave these Off. However, you can edit these settings if you
need to assign MIDI control change messages to the chord
trigger switches, such as when you want to record pad
operations on the internal sequencer or an external MIDI
sequencer, or to control the chord trigger switches from an
external MIDI device.
These messages are transmitted and received if the
Global P1– MIDI Routing page parameter Chord
Trigger SW MIDI Out is set to Chord Trigger SW CC/
Note. If Chord Trigger SW MIDI Out is set to Chord
Note, the "Chord Trigger switch" setting made in each
program, combination, or song, will be transmitted.
Each switch can be assigned any MIDI control change
CC#00–CC#119, or a desired MIDI note number. However,
you will normally use the default settings that are assigned
when you execute the menu command Reset Controller
MIDI Assign with CC Default. For more information,
please see "Reset Controller MIDI Assign" on page 254.
The operations described below are for these CC Default
settings.
SW1 trigger velocity (CC#110) [Bn, 6E, vv]
SW2 trigger velocity (CC#111) [Bn, 6F, vv]
SW3 trigger velocity (CC#112) [Bn, 70, vv]
SW4 trigger velocity (CC#113) [Bn, 71, vv]
(n: channel, vv: switch velocity)
These correspond to Chord Trigger switches 1–4. When you
press one of the M50' switches, the SW 1–4 trigger velocity
will be transmitted. The same result will occur when these
messages are received.
Silencing all notes on a specific channel
All note off (CC#123) [Bn, 7B, 00] (value 00)
When this is received, all currently-sounding notes on that
channel will be turned off (as though the keys had been
released). However, the release portion of the notes will
remain.
All sound off (CC#120) [Bn, 78, 00] (value 00)
When this is received, all currently-sounding notes on that
channel will be silenced. While the All Note Off message
allows the release portion of the notes to remain, the All
Sound Off message will silence the notes immediately.
However, these messages are provided for emergency use,
and are not something that you will use while performing.
Resetting all controllers on a specific channel
Reset all controllers (CC#121) [Bn, 79, 00] (value 00)
When this is received, the value of all controllers on that
channel will be reset.
Using RPN (Registered Parameter
Numbers)
RPN (Registered Parameter Numbers) are a type of message
that allow settings to be made in a way that is common
between instrument manufacturers. (NRPN (Non-registered
Parameter Numbers) and exclusive messages can be freely
used in non-compatible ways by different manufacturers
and models of instrument.)
MIDI applications Using RPN (Registered Parameter Numbers)
RPN messages can be used for editing with the following
procedure.
1. Use RPN MSB (CC#101) [Bn, 65, mm] and RPN LSB
(CC#100) [Bn, 64, rr] (n: channel, mm, rr: upper and
lower bytes of the parameter number) messages to
select the parameter.
2. Use data entry MSB (CC#6) [Bn, 06, mm] and data entry
LSB (CC#38) [Bn, 26, vv] (n: channel, mm, vv: upper and
lower bytes of the value, together expressing 16,384 lev-
els) to specify the value.
3. You can use data increment (CC#96) [Bn, 60, 00] or data
decrement (CC#97) [Bn, 61, 00] (n: channel, value is
fixed at 00) to change the value in steps of one.
The M50 can receive the following three RPN messages
(tuning, transpose, and pitch bend range).
Tuning
RPN fine tune [Bn, 65, 00, 64, 01]
This RPN message can be used to adjust the detuning for a
program or timbre (in Combination mode), or for a track (in
Sequencer mode).
The procedure is as follows.
1. [Bn, 65, 00, 64, 01]: Select RPN parameter 01.
2. [Bn, 06, mm, 26, vv]: Use data entry to set the value. A
value of 8192 [mm, vv=40, 00] is center, 0 [mm, vv=00,
00] is –100 cents, and 16383 [mm, vv=7F, 7F] is +99 cents.
Note: You can use the universal exclusive Fine Tune
message to adjust the overall tuning that corresponds to the
Master Tune (Global P0: 0–1a) parameter. (See "About
system exclusive messages" on page 398)
Transposing
RPN coarse tune [Bn, 65, 00, 64, 02]
This RPN message can be used to adjust the transposition
for a program or timbre (in Combination mode), or for a
track (in Sequencer mode).
The procedure is as follows.
1. [Bn, 65, 00, 64, 02]: Select RPN parameter 02.
2. [Bn, 06, mm, 26, vv]: Use data entry to set the value.
Normally only the upper byte is used.
A value of 8192 [mm, vv=40, 00] is center, 6656 [mm, vv=34,
00] is –12 semitones, and 9728 [mm, vv=4C, 00] is +12
semitones.
Note: You can use the universal exclusive Coarse Tune
message to adjust the overall tuning that corresponds to the
Key Transpose (Global P0: 0–1a) parameter. (See "About
system exclusive messages" on page 398)
Changing the pitch bend range
RPN pitch bend range [Bn, 64, 00, 65, 00]
This RPN message can be used to adjust the pitch bend
range for a program or timbre (in Combination mode) or for
a track (in Sequencer mode).
The procedure is as follows.
1. [Bn, 65, 00, 64, 00]: Select RPN parameter 00.
2. [Bn, 06, mm, 26, vv]: Use data entry to set the value.
Normally only the upper byte is used.
A value of 0 [mm, vv=00, 00] is +00, and a value of 1536
[mm, vv=0C, 00] is +12 (one octave). Although it is possible
to set a negative value for a timbre/track, only positive
values can be set using RPN messages.
