MIDI applications Messages transmitted and received by the NAUTILUS
935
Master coarse tuning [F0, 7F, nn, 04, 04, vv, mm, F7]
(Normally only the upper byte mm is used. A value of 8192
[mm, vv=40, 00] is center, 6656 [mm, vv=34, 00] is –12
semitones, and 9728 [mm, vv=4C, 00] is +12 semitones.)
When this is received, the Key Transpose (GLOBAL 0–1a)
parameter will be set.
Transmitting sound settings data (Data
Dump)
Data for programs, combinations, drum kits, wave
sequences, global settings, and sequencer data can be
transmitted as MIDI System Exclusive messages. The
operation of sending this system exclusive data to an
external device is called a “data dump.”
By performing a data dump, you can store the NAUTILUS’s
sounds and settings on an external device, or rewrite the
sounds and settings of another NAUTILUS.
There are the following two types of data dump.
• When you use the “Dump–” (GLOBAL > MIDI page)
page menu command to dump data, various types of
internal memory data will be transmitted. If this data is
received by the NAUTILUS, the data will be written
directly into internal memory, and it will not be
necessary to perform the Write operation.
• If the “Enable Exclusive” (GLOBAL 1–1c) setting is
checked, data will also be dumped in response to a Dump
Request message. This data is transmitted and received
on the global MIDI channel.
When the NAUTILUS receives this data, the data will be
written into the edit buffer. If you want to save the data
into internal memory, you’ll have to execute the Write
operation. This can be done either by executing the Write
operation on the NAUTILUS itself, or by a MIDI System
Exclusive program write request, combination write
request, drum kit write request, wave sequence write
request, or global setting write request.
Cautions regarding data dumps and sound editing
• After MIDI System Exclusive data has been received and
processed, a Data Load Completed message will be
transmitted. The control master device must not transmit
the next message until this message is received (or until a
sufficient interval of time has elapsed).
• When you change use parameter changes to edit, the
changes will affect the data in the edit buffer and will not
be stored in internal memory unless you Write, so that
the changes will be lost if you re-select the program or
combination. The Write operation can be performed by a
MIDI System Exclusive Program Write Request or
Combination Write Request message, in addition to the
usual method of using the NAUTILUS’s switches. For
more information, see “Loading & saving data” on
page 199 of the OG.
• It is not necessary to write a song, but it will not be
backed up when the power is turned off. If you want to
keep the song data, you must save it to the internal drive
or other media before powering off. “Saving to internal
drive, CDs, and USB media” on page 205 of the OG.
Editing sounds via SysEx
By using various MIDI System Exclusive data dumps, you
can rewrite all programs or an individual program. By using
parameter change messages, you can edit individual
parameters as follows.
Parameter changes
• In PROGRAM mode, all parameters other than the
program name can be edited.
• In COMBINATION mode, parameters other than the
combination name can be edited.
• In SEQUENCER mode, you can edit the track
parameters in Play/Rec page, EQ/X-Y/Controllers page,
Track Param page, IFX page, MFX/TFX page., and the
ARP , Insert Effect, and Master/Total Effect parameters.
Drum kit parameter change/Wave sequence parameter
change
In GLOBAL mode, you can edit drum kits and wave
sequences.
Since the other global parameters or SEQUENCER mode
musical data cannot be edited, you will use data dumps to
transfer this data.
Data dumping of SAMPLING mode data is not supported.
The global MIDI channel is used to transmit and receive this
data.
First check the “Enable Exclusive” (GLOBAL 1–1c) setting
to enable transmission and reception of exclusive data.
When you switch modes on the NAUTILUS, a mode change
will be transmitted. When you edit individual parameters,
parameter change messages will be transmitted.
When these messages are received, the same editing
operation will be performed as on the transmitted device.
If notes are “stuck”
If for some reason, notes become “stuck” and will not stop
sounding, you can silence them by doing the following:
1. Select a different sound, including any Program,
Combination, Song, or Set List Slot.
2. Select a different sound again.
For instance, within a Set List with Slot 1 selected, select
Slot 2 and then return to Slot 1. Or, on Program A000, press
the front-panel
COMBI button (which selects a
Combination) and then press the front-panel PROG button
(to re-select the previous Program). At the second change,
all notes held from the original sound will be stolen.
If notes played via MIDI are stuck, you can also disconnect
the MIDI cable.
MIDI transmits a message called Active Sensing [FE] at
regular intervals. A device that receives this message will be
aware that an external MIDI device is transmitting to it.
Subsequently, if no MIDI messages are received for a certain
interval of time, the receiving device will decide that the
connection has been broken, and will turn off any notes that
had been sounded via MIDI and reset its controller values.
