SYSTEM CHARACTERISTICS
NOTES AND PITCH BEND
The notes coming in from MIDI have priority over those played from
the instrument's keyboard. Accordingly, MIDI pitch bend does not
effect the notes played from the instrument, only the ones that come
from MIDI. The SOURCE responds to a 4 octave range. The MIDI
note numbers in decimal are: 36 to 84 inclusive.
OCTAVE ENABLE
When the SOURCE is playing from its own keyboard instead of from
MIDI, it will scan the keyboard and the two octave buttons for
information. When the SOURCE is playing from MIDI, it instead
derives the proper octave from the MIDI note number. However,
when the SOURCE releases a MIDI note, it will revert back to the
octave information set by the octave buttons. This will cause an
octave jump each time a MIDI note is released. The octave enable
function allows the SOURCE to be played from MIDI with a 4 octave
range without any such side effects. In order to do this, the octave
buttons must be manually disabled. This is done by using the
[LEVEL 2],[6] function. This parameter will be remembered at power
down.
SOFT RESET
Upon performing a soft reset, the instrument will default to the
following parameters: Omni on, internal clock, 24 PPQ, bank 1,
octave buttons enabled. All patch data will be retained.
SYSEX DUMP
When you initiate a sysex dump, the 256 patches are saved to MIDI.
It dumps nearly 13KB of data! The data is not transmitted at full MIDI
bandwidth. This prevents the target input buffer from overflowing.
MIDI to CV CONVERTER
The conversion allows a second non-MIDI synthesizer to be
controlled by the MIDI SOURCE. However, the pitch tracking is only
as good as the calibration of each unit. If the SOURCE is perfect at
1V/octave and the second synth has drifted to 1.1V/octave, the
synths will not be in tune across the range.
CHANGES IN ORIGINAL FEATURES
Due to functionality, program space and user access considerations,
all of the sequencer functions have been removed. PC based
sequencers are now available through the MIDI expansion and may
be used with added accuracy.
