Notes Off may still be affected by the state of the Sustain Pedal, or the length of time it
takes for a sound to fade out after a note is released.
To transmit the All Sound Off message, enter KEYBOARD MULTI FUNCTION mode by
pressing EDIT, and then press the ALL SOUND OFF key on the keyboard. The LED will
show
“don” to confirm that the All Sound Off command has been sent.
6.18 RESET ALL CONTROLLERS
With so many options for MIDI control, it can be easy to lose track of the controller
values that have been sent to your target MIDI device. You might hear that some aspect
of your sound has changed, and you don’t know which MIDI controller is responsible for
the change. The Reset All Controllers function can help you figure things out by
returning all controller values to their default state.
To transmit the Reset All Controllers message, enter KEYBOARD MULTI FUNCTION
mode by pressing EDIT, and then press the RESET ALL CONTROLLER key on the
keyboard. The LED will show
“don” to confirm that the Reset All Controllers command
has been sent.
6.19 GM ON
GM stands for “General MIDI”, which is a standard that defines
a set of sounds available
for use, and the ways in which they are controlled. The main goal of General MIDI is for
GM compatible MIDI sequences to play back correctly on GM compatible sound
sources.
Sometimes GM compatible devices need to be told to enter GM mode. Most of the time,
a GM compatible sequence will
have a “GM On” message imbedded at the start of the
sequence, but with some files you may find that you have to turn on GM manually. Or if
you don’t have a GM sequence,
you may want to just enter GM mode on your device for
access to the familiar sound set and ease of use.
You can send a GM On message by entering KEYBOARD MULTI FUNCTION mode.
Press EDIT, and then press the GM ON key on the keyboard. The LED will show
“don” to
confirm that the GM On command has been sent.
6.20 GM2 ON
GM2 is an extension to the GM standard discussed in
Section 6.19
above. GM2 makes
some additional sounds and controls available for use in GM2 compatible devices.
