5. MIDI
Software Version 2.6 for the Voyager Rack Mount contains an extensive MIDI implementation. The MIDI
channel for transmission and reception is selected in the MASTER mode. It is remembered after power
down.
MIDI Transmission and Reception includes:
Note On messages: The Voyager is a monophonic synthesizer, and responds to
Note On messages based on the Note Priority and Trigger Mode selected. Note On
messages are transmitted polyphonically.
Program Change messages: Program Change Messages are transmitted by
using the +/-1 Buttons.
All Notes Off: Transmitted by pressing the MASTER button in Panel Mode.
Pitch Bend (receive only)
MIDI CCs (for the front panel controls) CC stands for continuous controller – a
type of MIDI message used to produce variation in a sound. A CC message has a
number (which describes what parameter is changed) and a value. All the front panel
knobs and switches are assigned a CC number. Here is the list of Voyager parameters
and CCs assigned to them. The following is a list of the Voyager’s Front Panel Controls
and the corresponding MIDI CCs:
