When you modify
VOL
,
TRN
,
REV
,
CHR
,
PAN
,
CHN
, parameters, you can act on:
•
GLOBAL
: on all MIDI channels at a time
•
CHANNEL
: on a single MIDI channel
The change is an “addition”, because it is added to the parameter programmed
in the song and follows it (as you will find explained in detail further on).
Viceversa, for
PRG
e
BNK
parameters a
GLOBAL
change makes no sense, so the
modifications can only be:
•
CHANNEL
: on single MIDI channels
Moreover, the change is “absolute”: that’s to say on a certain channel you set a
new program change value and any program change data in the song on that
channel will be ignored.
To make things clearer, let’s have a look to two examples.
GLOBAL VOLUME
If you select the
VOL
parameter (as in the previous picture) and have the
display in: “
GLOBAL VOLUME ADJUST
”, if you act on the
PAGE
/
VALUE
knob you will
change all the volumes of ALL the MIDI channels at a time.
Please note that the modification is a VARIATION as – or + with regard to the
volume set for each channel, that’s to say it is added to the value previously
selected and it follows it throughout the song.
In simple words, if the song has been programmed with a certain flow of
volume for every MIDI channel, if you set in ADJUST a variation of “-20”, the
flow of the volume on each channel during the playing of the song will be the
one you previously set -20.
CHANNEL VOLUME
In addition to the global setting, it is possible to act on a single MIDI channel.
To do it, after you entered the ADJUST page, you have to move the selection
on the Volume value of the desired channel.
In the following picture you can see that the MIDI channel 1 volume has been
selected (with the DIRECTION keys):
