MIDI Setting Area (MIDI) MIDI1-4 Gate Time page 1 2 MIDI1-4 ≥GateTime=0.0s 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 Gate time Use this parameter to set a gate time for MIDI notes sent for the layer indicated by 2. A MIDI Note On message is sent when a pad is struck, and the corresponding Note Off message is sent a short time later. The duration between sending of these signals is referred to as the "gate time", and by adjusting this setting, you can control the duration of MIDI notes. Settings 0.0s to 9.9s NOTE • If no note numbers have 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. • If "hold" has been selected on the Playing Mode page (MIDI1-1), this setting will be displayed as "---" and modification will not be possible. • MIDI Note Off signals are not sent for pads set to "off" on the Receive Key-Off page (MIDI1-5). If you want to set a gate time, therefore, be sure to set RcvKeyOff to "on". MIDI1-5 Receive Key-Off page 1 2 MIDI1-5 ≥RcvKeyOff=off 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 Receive key-off (RcvKeyOff) Use this parameter to set whether or not MIDI Note Off messages will be sent for the layer indicated by 2. Most drum voices are one-shot sounds that decay over time until they become silent; therefore, MIDI Note Off messages are not needed to stop them. As such, this parameter should normally be set to "off". If, however, a non-decaying sound is assigned to a pad or layer, you can ensure that the required MIDI Note Off message is sent by setting this parameter to "on". In addition, you can adjust the amount of time that passes between striking of the pad and sending MIDI Note Off messages using the Gate Time page (MIDI1-4). Settings off or on 64 Owner's Manual NOTE • If no note numbers have 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. • Sending of MIDI Note Off messages is automatically turned on whenever a MIDI Channel other than 10 has been selected on the MIDI Channel page (MIDI1-3). In such a case, therefore, this setting will be displayed as "---" and modification will not be possible. MIDI1-6 Velocity Limits page 1 2 MIDI1-6 VelLimit=≥≥0-127 1 Pad number 34 Settings 01 to 12, 13, 13R1, 13R2, 14 to 17, FTSW, HHCL, or HHSP B Layer number Settings A, B, C, or D C Velocity lower limit D Velocity upper limit Use these parameters to set the range of velocities that will cause the layer indicated by 2 to send a MIDI note message. The term "velocity" refers to the speed (or power) with which a pad is struck. By setting upper and lower limits using these parameters, you can prevent sounds from being produced when the pad is struck too hard or too soft. Settings 0 to 127 NOTE • If no note numbers have been assigned to any of the pad's layers (A to D) on the MIDI Note page (MIDI1-2), these settings will be displayed as "---" and modification will not be possible. MIDI1-7 Trigger Velocity page MIDI1-7 1 TrgVel=variable 2 1 Pad number Settings 01 to 12, 13, 13R1, 13R2, 14 to 17, FTSW, HHCL, or HHSP B Trigger velocity (TrgVel) Use this parameter to control the velocity value of MIDI notes to be sent whenever the pad indicated by 1 is struck. • variable..... MIDI velocity values will reflect the strength with which the pad is struck. • 1 - 127...... MIDI notes are sent with this fixed velocity value, regardless of how hard or soft the pad is struck. Settings variable or 1 to 127 NOTE • If no note numbers have 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. • No sound will be produced if TrgVel 2 is set to a value outside the limits set on the Velocity Limits page (MIDI1-6).
