This menu is used to select the SP's MIDI In and Out channels. The SP
can only send and receive on one channel at a time, but each channel
can be set independently. To change the MIDI channel, use the
CURSOR button to highlight the desired parameter, then use the
VALUE knob to select the new parameter value.
Values: OFF, 1 – 16;
The MIDI SETUP menu is used to select the SP's MIDI options. There
are seven pages of MIDI menus, beginning with the 'ALL NOTES OFF'
menu. This menu allows you to issue an 'All Notes Off ' message to the
MIDI output, shutting off all active notes on the SP and/or any attached
MIDI tone modules or keyboards. This command is the equivalent of a
MIDI panic button to silence stuck notes. To issue the command, simply
press the ENTER button (you do not have to enable this menu with the
CURSOR button).
The second page of the MIDI Setup menu allows you to turn control of
the SP's synth engine ON or OFF locally, i.e. any front panel controls that
modify the synth engine. It does not disable any MIDI transmitting or
receiving. A setting of 'OFF' will prevent doubling MIDI data in the event
you are using a MIDI sequencer with both the MIDI IN and MIDI OUT
connected, and the sequencer is echoing MIDI data back to the SP. To
change the Local Control setting, use the
CURSOR button to highlight the control value, then use the VALUE
knob to change the setting.
Values: ON, OFF; the default is ON
The third page of the MIDI Setup menu allows you to select the MIDI
input connection. Since the SP offers both MIDI DIN and USB connec-
tions, several input options are possible. To specify the MIDI input con-
nection, use the CURSOR button to highlight the input selection, then
use the VALUE knob to select the desired input.
Values: NONE, DIN, USB, DIN/USB; the default is DIN/USB
the default values are 1 for both MIDI In and MIDI Out
