To modify the number of any of the MIDI channels for the MIDI messages transmission, first enter
the MIDI mode as described above, by pressing for approx. 2 seconds the
[TRANSPOSER]
button, which will start flashing. Now choose one of the three sections to modify its MIDI channel
number, by pushing to the bottom one of the three stops in the Bass sections for approx. 2 seconds
(the name of the section you want to modify is printed in white under the three stops). The LED
related to the selected section will start flashing. At the same time, the stops in the MAN.I and
MAN.II sections, which will now work as a numeric keypad (with the numbers printed in white
below them), will blink once indicating the currently selected channel for MIDI messages
transmission. Using the MAN.I and MAN.II stops as a numeric keypad it is possible to select the
new MIDI channel number in the range from 01 to 15 (it is mandatory to type 2 digits). The first 2
LEDs from the
[TEMPERAMENT]
section will indicate the position of the digit that has to be
typed (if the first LED is on, the first digit has to be typed, if the second LED is on the second digit
has to be typed). Once the second digit has been typed, the LED of the first stop from MAN. I (that
has “PG” printed below) will flash five times to indicate that the new MIDI channel number has
been assigned successfully. The LED related to the section that has been modified will stop
flashing. In case the number typed exceeds the valid range, the procedure is automatically aborted
and the previous MIDI channel number is kept. To exit the MIDI channel select mode, please push
again the stop related to the section currently selected.
To return to Normal mode press another time [TRANSPOSER] .
Note: MIDI receive is always active.
ACTIVATION OF THE LOCAL OFF FUNCTION
The Local Off function allows to stop the CantorumVI keyboard from driving the tone generation
of any of the CantorumVI sections. When the Local Off function is activated, however, the tone
generation is still driven by incoming MIDI messages (sent, e.g. by a MIDI pedalboard) and the
[MIDI OUT] output of the CantorumVI still sends MIDI messages coming from its keyboard.
To activate the Local Off function, press the Bass section stop related to the keyboard section you
want to put in Local Off upwards for approx. 2 seconds. The corresponding LED will start flashing.
The MAN.I section will now work as a numeric keypad (with the numbers printed in white below
them), and one of the two LEDs “0” and “1” of this numeric keypad will turn on to indicate the
