Utility MIDI Input Filter Path: u © # (MIDIFlt) The MIDI Filter page has one function: MIDI Filter. The MIDI Filter allows you to set whether or not the tone generator and sequencer of the QS300 respond to certain types of MIDI data. This can be useful especially in recording, since you can filter out data types that you don't need, and thus save memory for additional recording. To use the MIDI Filter 1. Select the desired data type in the display with the cursor buttons. 2. Use the D/I buttons to turn the filter off or on, respectively. The small square next to the data type indicates the status: - The filter is on and the selected data will not be received. - The filter is off and the data can be received. Note Note data filter. This filter should normally be turned off to allow reception of all note data. Key After Touch (Key AT) After touch generates a lot of data that can rapidly fill the available memory if used indiscriminately. When on, this filter blocks reception of polyphonic aftertouch data. Channel After Touch (Ch AT) Similar to Key After Touch, however this filter blocks reception of monophonic (channel) after touch data. Control Change Program Change NRPN Pitch Bend Bank Change System Exclusive (Sys Excl) This filter can be used to block reception of all control change events: modulation, breath controller, volume, sustain pedal, etc. Control change bank select numbers 0 and 32 are affected by the Bank Change filter (below), not this filter. The program change filter can be turned on if you want to switch voices on an external keyboard or other controller without switching the QS300 voices at the same time. This filter blocks NRPN (non-registered parameter number) data. NRPNs are controllers that have been created by one or more manufacturers, but have not been added to the MIDI specification, and thus may be found on some instruments and not others. Turn this filter on if you do not want to record pitch bend data, or if you simply don't want received pitch bend data to affect the sound. This filter can be used to block incoming bank select messages. This filter can be used to block reception of all system exclusive data. x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x 191 Utility Mode
