MIDI This is just the same as the MIDI
parameter found on the "top" menu page. It’s
duplicated here for your comfort and
convenience.
base channel Selects one of 16 MIDI channels to be the base channel from which
MIDI channel numbers will be calculated elsewhere in the H8000FW. Changing the base
channel value will change the MIDI channel numbers of all configured MIDI controllers in
the H8000FW by the same amount.
For example, in the screen on the right, base
channel is set to the default value of 1 and the
controller responds to channel 3, being two
more than the base channel. If base channel was
changed to 5, the controller would then respond to channel 7.
Base channel has no effect if omni is set to on.
omni mode If this is on , then a MIDI message on any channel is accepted and
dutifully obeyed by every MIDI message recipient in the H8000FW. This keeps things
simple in simple setups. If this is off , then every MIDI recipient in the H8000FW
specifies which MIDI channel (offset from the base channel) it will accept messages on.
note mode The H8000FW allows selection of mono and poly mode. Poly means one
channel has all the notes (keyboards). Mono means each channel plays only one note, but
you have multiple channels (MIDI guitars, wind controllers).
pressure If this parameter is set to channel, then the last changed MIDI aftertouch
message on a given channel affects all the notes played on that channel. If it’s set to
key,
then a MIDI aftertouch message on a given channel affects only the note with which it is
associated.
pitch bend When using a MIDI keyboard to play a synthesizer program in the
H8000FW, this parameter controls how many semitones a maximum MIDI pitch bend
message shifts the original pitch.
sysex speed The lower the value of this parameter, the slower the H8000FW will
transmit MIDI messages. This can be useful if the device being sent to is "unhappy" with
faster rates.
