Additional PRO-2 features

_________________________________________________________________

MIDI Analyser

The PRO-2 now has a useful MIDI analyser function. This feature allows you to see what types of MIDI
messages it receives.

To enter analyser mode, you must power on the PRO-2 whilst holding the INC and STORE buttons.

The display will first show `--`, then `nt`. `nt` means the display will show the MIDI note number of any
notes it receives.

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

INC

short press

`rc` Receive channel

long press

`Pc` Program change

DEC

short press

`cn` Controller number

long press

`cv` Controller value

SELECT OPTION

short press

`nt` Note number

long press

`nv` Velocity

For whichever of the above selected, the PRO-2 will display the MIDI value or message type of any
messages that it receives.

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 on the PRO-2.

The LED bargraph in this mode operates as a received MIDI message indicator;

1

3

4

5

6

7

LED bars 1 to 10 will flash when they receive their corresponding MIDI messages.
To exit MIDI analyser mode, the PRO-2 must be powered off then on again.
