Menu 2: Midi event
number of parameters: 2
This menu contains all parameters that refer to Midi messages assigned to the
position and pressure sensor.
2-1 Midi event [1]
Range: a - h
This parameter refers to the Midi message assigned to the position sensor [1]. It has
also an influence to the function of the CV1 and gate outputs.
a Off
b Note
c Note & pitch bend relative
d Note & pitch bend absolute
e Pitch & FixNote
f Control change
g After touch
h Program change
The Midi messages and the analog voltage CV1 are generated simultaneously.
a Off
In this case no Midi messages, no CV1 and no gate is generated.
Modes b, c and d are used to generate note on/off events and the corresponding
analog signals CV1 and gate. One of these three selections is normally used for the
position sensor. The generated Midi and CV/gate signals are influenced by these
parameters too:
3-2 Note number
3-3 Controller number
3-4 Pitch scale
4-1 Quantization
4-2 Number octave
4-3 Retrigger time
The combination of all parameters determines how the Midi and CV/gate data are
generated. In the chapter system functions (page 21) the interaction of all
parameters is explained in detail.
b Note
Touching the position sensor generates a Midi note on message and the
corresponding pitch control voltage CV1. The gate output turns on. The note number
and the value of CV1 depends upon the position of the finger.
Releasing the finger without moving the finger generates the corresponding Midi note
off message and the gate output turns off.
If the finger moves over the position sensor without releasing the finger the result
depends upon the current setting of the retrigger value 4-3. If this value is zero no
new Midi note or CV1/gate is generated as the finger glides over the manual. If the
retrigger value 4-3 is not zero the behaviour is different: As soon as the finger
reaches a position that corresponds to another note a Midi note off message for the
"old" note is generated and the gate output turns off. After the retrigger time 4-3 that
is measured in milliseconds the new note on message is generated. Simultaneously
the corresponding CV1 is generated and the gate output turns on. If the analog
