"PLAY-ChSetup"
This page selects how controllers are set when you switch
into this program from another program. You can choose to
retain the previous control-change values, or else to tempo-
rarily reset these values to 0.
You can set the operation separately for each MIDI channel.
You can also specify how note playback is affected by MIDI
note-on and note-off messages.
Knob 1
[ Turn] Page
Selects display pages.
[ Press] Tree View
Calls the Tree View display (page 83).
Knob 2
[ Turn] MIDI Ch (MIDI Channel)
Selects the MIDI receive channel to which the Controller
Reset and Note On Type settings will apply.
• Once the MIDI channel has been specified you can
set the Controller Reset and Note On Type parame-
ters via Knobs 3 and 5, respectively.
[Range] A01 — A16, B01 — B16 (01 — 16 on the A4000)
[ Press] MIDI
Allows setting the MIDI Ch parameter from an external
MIDI controller (page 82).
• When setting the MIDI channel via MIDI on the
A5000, receive the appropriate MIDI messages via
the MIDI IN-A connector to set channels A01 — A16,
and via the MIDI IN-B connector to set channels B01
— B16.
Knob 3
[ Turn] Controller Reset
Determines whether the last received controller data will
be retained or reset when a different program is selected.
[Range] off, on
• off ... The last controller data is retained.
• on ... The controller data is reset.
• As an example, consider the following programs:
PROGRAM 001 and PROGRAM 002.
PROGRAM 001 ... This program uses a sample to
which the modulation wheel is assigned for
pitch modulation depth control (via MIDI
receive channel 1).
PROGRAM 002 ... This program uses a sample to
which the modulation wheel is assigned for fil-
ter modulation depth control (via MIDI receive
channel 1).
• Now, if you're playing PROGRAM 001 and the modu-
lation wheel has been used to apply heavy pitch
modulation, then you switch to PROGRAM 002, the
following will occur:
If the MIDI channel 1 Control Reset =
off for PROGRAM 002 ... PROGRAM 002 will
beging playing with correspondingly heavy fil-
ter modulation.
If the MIDI channel 1 Control Reset =
on for PROGRAM 002 ... PROGRAM 002 will
begin playing with no filter modulation. Filter
modulation will then be applied the instant the
modulation wheel is moved.
Knob 5
[ Turn] Note On Type
Determines how notes are played when note-on and
note-off messages are received.
[Range] Normal, Toggle
• Normal ... The note begins playing when a note-on
message is received, and stops when a note-
off message is received.
• Toggle ... Note-off messages are ignored. Any
note which was previously sounding on the
same MIDI channel will be stopped and the
new note will begin playing when a note-on
message is received (only one note can sound
at a time on any one MIDI channel).
