Edit/Instrument Parameters
EDIT
MIDI OUT PROGRAM
INST
Press Edit / Instrument / 4
This parameter allows you to choose which program change number will be transmitted via
MIDI when the instrument is selected. If the instrument’s Edit/Instrument MIDI STATUS is set
to LOCAL, it won’t matter what this parameter is set to because the instrument will not transmit
program changes. The MIDI OUT PROGRAM for each instrument is stored in the eight
performance presets, so you can use presets to transmit new program changes from any
instrument that has its MIDI STATUS set to BOTH, MIDI or EXT. Editing this value will transmit
the program change number that is displayed.
Range: l to 128
Tip:
MIDI OUT PROGRAM numbers can be entered directly from the numeric keypad from any
mode. Here’s how:
• While holding down the appropriate Instrument•Sequence Track button (the one that will
transmit on the desired MIDI channel), use the numeric keypad (page buttons) to type in the
program number that you want to transmit.
• Release the Instrument•Sequence Track button when you want to transmit the program
change that you have entered. The program change will be transmitted at the moment the
button is released.
EDIT
PRESSURE MODE
INST
Press Edit / Instrument / 5
If TRANSMIT=INST CHAN (on the Edit/System•MIDI page) then this parameter determines
which type of pressure—channel or Poly-Key™, or no pressure at all—will be transmitted on the
instrument’s MIDI OUT CHANNEL. If the instrument MIDI STATUS= LOCAL or BOTH, this
parameter determines what type of pressure (if any) the instrument will respond to when you
play the keyboard.
When PRESSURE MODE=OFF:
• Local voices played from the keyboard or the sequencer will not respond to pressure.
• The sequencer will not record pressure into any tracks you record.
• The sequencer will not play back any key or channel pressure messages recorded on the track.
• The instrument will not transmit or receive pressure of either type via MIDI.
Note:
You should select PRESSURE MODE=OFF whenever you don’t want or need pressure for a given
instrument, particularly when sequencing. Pressure data eats up sequencer memory rapidly, so
whenever you record a track (whether it plays LOCALLY, via MIDI or BOTH), with a sound that
doesn’t respond to pressure, set this parameter to OFF. This will avoid wasting valuable
sequencer memory, and will avoid clogging up the MIDI data stream with a lot of unnecessary
pressure information.
When PRESSURE MODE=KEY:
• Local voices played from the ASR-10 keyboard will respond to key pressure only.
• The sequencer will record key pressure into any tracks you record.
• The sequencer will play back any key pressure messages recorded on the track, and will
ignore any channel pressure on the track.
• The ASR-10 keyboard will only transmit key pressure out via MIDI; however,
• Either channel pressure or key pressure will be received via MIDI.
