5.2.3
Program Change - #2129
If assigned to a keyboard, pressing each key will generate MIDI Program Change
message with different patch number. Starting number can be adjusted with
transposition setting. This is useful for organ emulators, where bank of Program
Change buttons can be used to work as pistons (sets of registers). Although this is
rather unusual usage for a potentiometer, it will generate MIDI Program Change
messages with its every move. Program Change can be also generated from the
keypad, by using sequence "# 4 <number>" – this is described later.
5.2.4
Channel After Touch - #2130
Turning such pot will cause Channel After Touch messages to be sent out. If
assigned to a keyboard, each key will set After Touch in 1/128 steps across the
keyboard. Range can be adjusted with transposition settings.
5.2.5
Standard keyboard action – single notes - #2131
Whenever MIDI event 131 is assigned to a keyboard, it works as typical MIDI
keyboard, playing MIDI notes. It is also possible to generate a burst of glissando
notes, when this event is assigned to a pot. Select the pot to be edited, enter "# 2
131". This knob becomes then a note generator resembling quantized Theremin,
spitting series of notes with every pot move. There's only one note played at a time
(with velocity set like described later) and it is released just before new note is
about to play. Whole knob slow rotation plays 128 notes from entire MIDI range.
5.2.6
Note on only - #2132
This mode is somehow similar to the action described just before, but only "note-
on" messages are generated, that means whenever you move this pot, new notes
will be played, and they will stay on forever unless proper note-off message will be
issued by another means.
5.2.7
Note off only - #2133
This is like "note-on" mode described before, but instead it sends out only note-off
messages. Both modes can be used if you want separate inputs for note-on, and
note off, like for example in dual-contact stop tabs in organs. If assigned to a
keyboard, it will send only note-offs, so it may be used to quiet some notes played
earlier.
5.2.8
One-touch Patch Recall - #2134
Keyboard in this mode serves as an array of Program Change memory buttons.
Each key recalls Program Change (or in another words - selects a patch/preset)
that was earlier programmed. There's 64 memory locations, so you can use one full
64 key scanner. For example you can program key 1 to send Program Change 37,
key 2 as PC#76, key 3 as PC#20 etc. All buttons work in one channel selected with
#3 command as described in chapter 5.3. Assigning Program Change numbers to a
specific key is described later, in chapter 5.6 "Programming Patch Recall Buttons".
