The PRO SOLO also has a MIDI analyser function. This feature allows you to see what

types of MIDI messages are being transmitted by your master keyboard/sequencer

making the PRO SOLO a useful diagnostic tool.

To enter analyser mode, you must power on the PRO SOLO whilst holding the SELECT

button. The display will then show `nt`. `nt` means the display will show the MIDI note

number of any notes it receives.

Using the INC, DEC, and SELECT buttons, different types of MIDI messages received may be

displayed;

SELECT

Short press

[rC] Receive channel

Long press

[PC] Program change

DEC

Short press

[nt] Note number

Long press

[nv] Velocity

INC

Short press

[Cn] Controller number

Long press

[Cv] Controller value

For whichever of the above selected, the PRO SOLO will display the value it receives for

the message selected.

Although pitchbend and after-touch are not controllers, when Controller number is

selected, `pb` will be displayed if pitchbend is received, & `af` will be displayed if after-

touch is received.

If Controller values is selected, and pitchbend or after-touch are received, their values will

be displayed.

For values over 99 the usual method is employed for displaying large numbers.

The MENU 7-segment LED in this mode operates as a received MIDI message indicator.

LED’s will flash when then following types of messages are received; Note on, Note off,

Sysex, Timing clock (MIDI clock), Start, Stop, Continue.
