MIDI Setting Area (MIDI) Reference KIT VOICE MIDI Typical Uses of Stack, Alternate, and Hold Modes Using the Playing Mode page (MIDI1-1), you can select the way in which a pad's four layers will be played. For example, pads can be setup to produce a chord by playing multiple layers at the same time or to play a different layer on each successive strike. The following are typical examples of how these modes can be used. ● Playing just one sound when a pad is struck Select "stack" on the Playing Mode page (MIDI1-1), and assign a MIDI note to Layer A only on the MIDI Note page (MIDI1-2). Layer A B C D Note number D1 off off off ● Playing two sounds simultaneously when a pad is struck Select "stack" on the Playing Mode page (MIDI1-1), and assign a different MIDI note to both Layer A and Layer B on the MIDI Note page (MIDI1-2). Layer A B C D Note number D1 E2 off off ● Playing two sounds alternately each time a pad is struck Select "alternate" on the Playing Mode page (MIDI1-1), and assign a different MIDI note to Layers A and B on the MIDI Note page (MIDI1-2). Layer A B C D Note number D1 E2 off off ● Playing Layer A, then silencing it, playing Layer C, then silencing it, playing Layer A... and so on each time a pad is struck Select "alternate" on the Playing Mode page (MIDI1-1), and assign a MIDI note or "skip" to Layers A through D on the MIDI Note page (MIDI1-2) as follows. Layer A B C D Note number D1 skip E2 skip ● Playing three held sounds simultaneously when a pad is struck, and silencing them the next time it is struck Select "hold" on the Playing Mode page (MIDI1-1), and assign MIDI notes to Layers A through C on the MIDI Note page (MIDI1-2) as follows. In addition, select "on" for Layers A through C on the Receive Key-Off page (MIDI1-5). Layer A B C D Note number C3 E3 G3 off NOTE • If a note on MIDI channel 10 is assigned, be sure to select "on" for Layers A through C on the Receive Key-Off page (MIDI1-5). MIDI1-2 MIDI Note page 1 2 MIDI1-2 Note=*≥C#-1/≥13 3 1 Pad number Settings 01 to 12, 13, 13R1, 13R2, 14 to 17, FTSW, HHCL, or HHSP B Layer number Use this parameter to select the layer you want to set. Settings A, B, C, or D C Note Use this parameter to select a MIDI note to be sent by the layer indicated by 2. You can also choose either of the following two special settings. • off Regardless of the setting made on the Playing Mode page (MIDI1-1), no MIDI note will be sent when the pad is struck. • skip............If "alternate" has been selected on the Playing Mode page (MIDI1-1), this layer will be skipped. In other words, no MIDI note will be sent when it is this layer's turn to play. Alternatively, if "stack" or "hold" has been set on the Playing Mode page (MIDI1-1), this setting has the same effect as "off" above (i.e., no MIDI note will be sent for this layer). Settings off, C#-2/1 to F#8/126, or skip NOTE • Notes outside the range covered by General MIDI are displayed in parentheses - for example, "(C#-2/1)". • Notes on MIDI channel 10 having already been assigned to a layer will be displayed with an asterisk in front of them - for example, "*C3". If you change the note setting for a pad indicated in this way, the note setting for the other pad will also be changed in the same way . MIDI1-3 MIDI Channel page 1 2 MIDI1-3 ≥≥≥MIDI≥Ch=10 3 1 Pad number Settings 01 to 12, 13, 13R1, 13R2, 14 to 17, FTSW, HHCL, or HHSP B Layer number Settings A, B, C, or D C MIDI channel (MIDI Ch) Use this parameter to set the MIDI channel for MIDI notes sent for the layer indicated by 2. Settings 1 to 16 NOTE • If no note number has been assigned to any of the pad's layers (A to D) on the MIDI Note page (MIDI1-2), this setting will be displayed as "--" and modification will not be possible.
