MIDI Filter In/Out

This function allows you to exclude “unwanted” messages from the MIDI In data stream received by the

Pianovelle

, or from the

MIDI Out data stream transmitted by

Pianovelle

ROGRAM

HANGE

Normally, if

Pianovelle

is being used as a slave device, it will respond to Program Change

messages transmitted by the external controlling device, causing the correspondingly numbered
RP Sound to be selected. As a controlling device,

Pianovelle

normally sends a Program Change

message to an external slave device, causing the correspondingly numbered voice (or program) to
be selected. The Program Change On/Off function allows you to exclude this type of message
from a stream of MIDI data, by filtering off the unwanted message.
In the example shown below, a sequencer is connected to the MIDI In port of the

Pianovelle

which is itself connected in series via the Thru port to an external MIDI tone generator. Setting
this filter to Off allows the Program Change messages to pass.

Example 1

Your particular requirements could be that you wish to record using the same
Pianovelle Sound but using different voices from the external device. Normally,
when you send Program Change messages from the sequencer, both the connected
devices will respond accordingly. If you want the

Pianovelle

not to respond to

Program Change data, set the Filter In Program Change to ON (filter active).
This will filter all Program Change messages from the MIDI In stream directed to
the

Pianovelle

internal sound engine while the data directed via the Thru port to the

external device will rest intact, causing the external device to respond to the trans-
mitted Program Change messages.

Example 2

In a simple MIDI situation with a

Pianovelle

connected to a

slaved expander, you may want to change Sounds on the

Pianovelle

without changing the voice in the connected external

device. In this case, activate the

Pianovelle

Filter Out Program

Change to ON. This will filter off the Program Change data from
the MIDI Out stream, leaving you free to change

Pianovelle

Sounds without influencing the external sound engine.

ONTROL

HANGE

Control Change messages are generated by “physical controllers” that are generally found on
MIDI keyboards. Physical controllers include Wheels, Pedals, Sliders, etc..
Normally,

Pianovelle

will respond to Control Change data received from an external device,

causing it to respond accordingly to the data received.

Pianovelle

also transmits Control Change

data when one of its pedals (Soft, Sostenuto, Damper) are operated.
This function allows you to filter off Control Change data from the incoming MIDI data stream so
that

Pianovelle

is not affected by the data. You can also exclude Control Change data (generated

by the

Pianovelle

pedals) from the MIDI Out data stream so that the connected external device is

not affected. . Setting this filter to Off allows the Control Change messages to pass.

ANEL

MESSAGES

Normally, selecting the

Pianovelle

panel buttons generated a MIDI message which correspond to

the button selected. These messages can be transmitted to a receiving device. This can be useful
when using a sequencer to record a song using the

Pianovelle

Sounds to control the

Pianovelle

on playback. During the recording, all panel interventions are recorded to the sequencer. When
the song is played back, the

Pianovelle

is automatically set to the same settings. In this case, the

Panel Filter should be set to OFF.
If Panel messages are not required, they can be filtered off from the MIDI data stream, both from
outgoing data as well as incoming. In this case, the Panel Filter should be set to ON.
