MIDI FUNCTIONS AND IMPLEMENTATION

MIDI CHANNEL
The Default MIDI Channel is 1. The MIDI Channel can be programmed in Setup Mode. See Page 49 for
details on selecting a MIDI Channel.
MIDI NOTE ON
The Mother-32 responds to MIDI Note On messages on the current MIDI Channel (default Channel 1).
MIDI Note values received are converted into a 1V/Octave Keyboard CV, and then routed to the VCO
and KB CV output jack. MIDI Note 0 corresponds to -5V, and MIDI Note 120 corresponds to +5V. MIDI
Note values 121 to 127 will generate the same output as MIDI Note values 109 to 115.
When a MIDI Note is received, a Gate signal is generated at the GATE output for the duration of
the MIDI Note On event. When the sequencer is running, MIDI Note On messages will transpose
the pattern in both Keyboard and Step mode. In the KB mode Record function and the Step mode
Step Edit function, MIDI Notes received will enter note values into the step currently being edited.
MIDI NOTE ON VELOCITY
Each MIDI Note On message contains a Velocity value. MIDI Note On Velocity values from 0 to 127
can be output from the Assignable output as a -5V to +5V CV signal. This is programmed in Setup
mode. In the KB mode Record function and the Step mode Step Edit function, MIDI Note On Velocity
values 96 or greater or will turn Accent ON for the currently edited step. Velocity values less than
96 will turn the Accent OFF for the current step. See Page 50 for details on assigning Velocity to the
Assignable output jack.
MIDI PITCH BEND
MIDI pitch bend messages are added to, or subtracted from the Keyboard CV signal. The Mother-32
default Pitch Bend amount is +/-1 Octave. MIDI Pitch Bend can be output as a -5V to +5V signal on the
Assignable output. This is programmed in Setup mode. See Page 50 for details on assigning Pitch Bend
to the Assignable output jack. MIDI Pitch Bend amount can be set from +/-0 to +/-12 semitones using
MIDI Pitch Bend Depth RPN (CC101 value 0, CC100 value 0, CC6 values 0 to 12).
MIDI CONTROL CHANGE (CC) MESSAGES
The following MIDI CC messages are received by the Mother-32:
CC 5: Portamento Time
CC 65: Portamento On/Off
CC 64: Sustain
CC 1,2,4,7: Used to generate CVs at the ASSIGNABLE OUTPUT
MIDI PROGRAM CHANGE MESSAGES
MIDI program changes 1 to 64 select the current sequencer pattern location.
MIDI Program changes 71 to 86 select one of the 16 Assignable output modes.
MIDI Channel Aftertouch can be output as a -5V to +5V signal on the assignable output.
