Kenton Spin Doctor - Manual (Page 17)

MIDI Analyser Mode
Spin Doctor also has a MIDI analyser function. This feature allows you to see
what types of MIDI messages are being transmitted by your equipment. In this
way, Spin Doctor may be used as a powerful diagnostic tool if you have a
problem with your MIDI set-up.
To enter analyser mode, switch the unit on whilst holding down the F.KEY. The
display will show the software revision number of the unit until the F.KEY is
released, at which point it will change to ntno (note number).
Use the DATA ENTRY knob to select the type of MIDI message you want to
display. The data types available (and their abbreviations) are as follows:
ntno Note number – display will change to show the note number if a
note-on message is received
ntvL Note velocity – display will change to show the note velocity if a
note-on message is received
ccno Controller number – display will change to show the controller
number if a controller message is received,
Pbnd if pitchbend is
received or Aft if aftertouch is received
ccvL Controller value – display will change to show the data value if a
controller, pitchbend or aftertouch message is received
chAn MIDI channel – display will change to show the MIDI channel of any
message received
Prog Program change – display will change to show the program number
in the range of 1-128 if a program change message is received
SX n SysEx – display will change to SX Y if System Exclusive is received
tc n Timing clock (MIDI clock) – display will change to tc Y if MIDI clock
is received
StAt Clock status – display will change to StoP if a clock stop command
is received, Strt if a clock start command is received, or cont if a
clock continue command is received
In every case, the display will only change if the relevant message is received.
