Page 238 CD3000XL OperatorÕs Manual
MIDI RECEIVE PAGE - ANALYSING MIDI
Another MIDI receive monitor is available in the page. Here, you can monitor other types
of MIDI information received by the CD3000XL.
Again, this is especially useful if you are faultfinding on your MIDI system. Information from the
MIDI IN is displayed, and a channel filter may be set at the top of the screen (OMNI or 1 to 16).
When idle (i.e. not receiving MIDI), the screen shown above is displayed - when receiving MIDI,
something like the following is shown:
Here you will see a constantly changing display as notes are received. If any performance
controls are used such as mod wheel or pressure, these too will be shown.
If the information is not displayed on this monitor, the information is not reaching the
CD3000XL. Check your connections or the output channel of the transmitting equipment. If
the information appears to be correct, but no sound or unexpected sounds are being
produced, then the fault may lie in the MIDI setting of the program(s). You may discover that the
piano track of the sequencer is playing the drum samples, for example.
You may select to view particular channels using the : field. This defaults to (short for
OMNI) so you can view all channels but you may select individual channels 1-16 if you only wish
to monitor a specific channel.
TRANSMIT TEST PAGE - SETTING THE ENT/PLAY KEY
Pressing the soft key (F5) will display this screen.
In the TRANS page, you can produce a test transmission of a MIDI note, and set the channel,
key and velocity of the note to be transmitted, using the and keys (F7 and F8).
This key value and velocity will also be used by the key when testing samples and programs
using the ENT/PLAY key.
NOTE: When in EDIT SAMPLE mode, the raw sample is always played at its base pitch (i.e. the
pitch was sampled at) and not at the note value set here.
