MIDI FUNCTIONS
When you first press the MIDI mode key, the BASIC MIDI CHANNEL CONTROL page is
entered.
The parameter sets the MIDI channel for the CD3000XL as a
whole and this is the MIDI channel used when in SINGLE mode and in SAMPLE mode (in
MULTI mode, the CD3000XL responds to all 16 MIDI channels and each part has its own
channel). This parameter is shown in the SINGLE mode for your information.
The parameter allows you to select the external MIDI source
used in the PROGRAM ASSIGNABLE MODULATION system used in programs. Whatever you
select here becomes one of the choices you can make when assigning modulation sources in
a program. You may choose from any of the 128 MIDI controllers (although please note that
these are numbered 0-127 in this display). A list of these controllers is given in the appendices.
You will note that these parameters are saved to disk whenever you perform a VOLUME save.
They are not saved when performing any other type of save. Pressing F8 will reset the external
MIDI control value received by the CD3000XL to the default value.
MIDI FILTER
Pressing the key (F2) will display this screen:
This page allows you to filter out specific MIDI information. When you enter this page, the
cursor will be at the top left of a grid of ‘+’ signs, in a long rectangular box. You can use the
cursor keys to move to any point on the screen.
In this grid, the columns represent MIDI channels (1-16), and the rows represent MIDI
information which the CD3000XL will accept or filter. The first row, ‘ ‘, affects the CD3000XL’s
receive capabilities for all information on that channel, the next, ‘ ‘, refers to the pitch and
modulation wheels, the third line, ‘ ‘, refers to aftertouch, and the last line, ‘ ‘, refers
to an external MIDI volume control (controller 7). The last column in each row, ‘ ‘, will affect
the appropriate information for all MIDI channels. The ‘+’ signs mean that the CD3000XL
accepts this information and ‘-’ means that this information is filtered out.
If you turn the DATA control counter-clockwise, the ‘+’ which the cursor covers will change to a
‘-’. If you make this change in the row, all ‘+’ signs in the same column below will change to a
‘-’ and you will see a column of ‘-’. If you make this change in the ‘all’ column on the right, the
parameter for all MIDI channels will be changed and you will see a row of dashes: ‘-’. The top
right corner of the display ( ) is a special case - all parameters will be changed which may be
useful for resetting the whole screen.
