ME-1 Addendum
2
Operation of New Feature:
Enabling/Disabling Individual MIDI Channels
An enabled MIDI channel (ON) will receive MIDI data. A disabled MIDI channel (OFF) will
ignore MIDI signals received on that channel. Prior to this new v1.2 software all 16 MIDI
channels were ON all the time. With v1.2, individual channels can now be shut off.
- Press the Mode Select Button until the Channel Mode LED lights.
- Use the Data knob to select the channel you want to turn on or off.
- Press the Bank Menu Button; the channel LED starts blinking. The blinking shows you the
channel is OFF (disabled).
- If you want the channel to turn ON, press the Bank Menu Button once again. The blinking
will stop showing you that the channel is ON (enabled).
All Channel settings are ON by default . Any channels turned OFF are turned back ON
upon power up. There is no memory within the ME-1 to store user settings.
- This section contains some clarifications regarding the use of Banks vs. MIDI Bank messages
as originally described in the ‘Reference Manual’ –
Differences Between “Bank” and “MIDI Bank” in the Reference Guide.
You will notice the term “Bank” used on page 9 and “MIDI Bank” used on page 11 in the
reference manual. The difference is that “Bank” on page 9 refers to one of the 16 instrument
“categories” while “MIDI Bank” on page 11 refers to the MIDI Bank Select message (Ctl 0 & 32).
The program allocation into banks (groups) is the same as the PC-2 and the table below shows
how they are divided.
Selecting Programs on the ME-1
There are two methods that can be used to select programs on the ME-1:
a) via the front panel, and
b) via MIDI using “MIDI Bank” select messages. This is the method employed if you want to send
Bank/Program change messages to the ME-1 from either your master keyboard/device or sequencer.
