Remap
Processes incoming MIDI information from the MIDI Remap Channel as if it had been generated
by the PC1 itself: notes get rechanneled into four different zones, and sent to the MIDI Out port
on the MIDI channels corresponding to all the active zones. Any notes that lie in overlapping
zones get sent on all the corresponding channels. Channel numbers on incoming notes are
ignored. Non-note information (controllers, pitchbend, etc.) get sent on all active channels: for
example, if the four zones of a Setup are transmitting on channels 2, 5, 9, and 12, any Pitch Bend
information coming into the PC1 (on any channel) get sent on channels 2, 5, 9, and 12
simultaneously.
You won’t need to use this value often, since the remapping occurs by default in all three
performance modes (that is, the default value of
Auto
causes the remapping to occur
automatically in all performance modes). Still, you might want to use a value of
Remap
on
occasion—for example, in MIDI Receive mode, incoming MIDI information doesn’t get
remapped when the value of MIDI In is
Auto
. If you set MIDI In to
Remap
, incoming MIDI
information gets remapped to whatever channel is showing in the PC1’s display. This is a
convenient way to audition a single channel.
Merge
Mixes incoming MIDI data with the data generated by the PC1 and sends the combined data
stream to the MIDI Out port. Channel numbers of incoming commands remain intact. Both note
and non-note messages get passed normally, but System Exclusive messages get filtered out. A
value of Merge doesn’t affect the behavior of the MIDI Thru port, if you’re using the MIDI
Thru/Out port.
Auto
The default. At this setting, the PC1 remaps incoming MIDI information when you’re in any
mode except MIDI
Receive mode.
MIDI Remap Chan
If the MIDI In parameter is set to Remap, this parameter determines which channel will be
remapped. To respond on any MIDI channel, set the value to
All
. To respond to only 1 MIDI
channel, select a channel
1
-
16
.
General MIDI
Use this parameter to turn GM mode on and off. Set the value to
On
to activate GM mode; set the
value to
Off
to return to normal operation. When you turn your PC1 off, it remembers whether
GM mode was on, and starts up in the same state the next time you turn the PC1 on.
You can also activate/deactivate GM mode with a System Exclusive (SysEx) message to the PC1.
To turn GM mode on via SysEx, send this message:
F0 7E <device ID> 09 01 F7
The value you use for <device ID> must match the value of the Device ID parameter in the Global
menu. By default it’s 0, so unless you’ve changed it, your SysEx message should include 00 for
<device ID>. You can also use 7F as the Device ID to broadcast to all receiving instruments.
To turn GM mode off via SysEx, send this message:
F0 7E <device ID> 09 02 F7
