Viscount Maestro – Grande – Sinfonia
67
Since the whole MIDI settings are quite many, and programming all of them it's a
rather lengthy task, you can always recall a MIDI configuration template, suitable for a
given operating environment: this can be done by pressing the F3 button, which enables
the 3-TEMPLATE option. The built-in templates are the following:
TEMPLATE DESCRIPTION
1st.2nd.M.Bass
the typical configuration (default)
1.2.Bass&Style
same as above, plus automatic accompaniment
1.2.Bass&Style Control
same as above, with external control
1.2.Bass&Style Remote user parts play a remote instrument
Playback mode1
the MIDI input controls the VISCOUNT piano
Playback mode2
another choice of previous configuration
XG remote1
XG internal synthesis with external control
XG remote2
another choice of previous configuration
THE 'PANIC' OPTION: During normal operation, the MIDI chain downstream the
instrument may cease to work properly, due to a transmission failure or whatever else;
in this case, the user can gain back control, sending the usual 'All notes off' and 'Reset
all controllers' messages. This is made possible by pressing and holding the EXIT key
(just below the rotative encoder); a self-explicative
pop-up screen will appear, to confirm
that the requested MIDI 'panic-solving' messages were sent.
8.5. FACTORY SETTINGS RECALL
The VISCOUNT MAESTRO, GRANDE and SINFONIA buffer memory is
originally set in the factory for a standard functionment of the instrument, both for the
performances and for the global settings. If you want to bring back all the programmable
values to the factory preset, you have to follow this procedure:
1. switch off the instrument and wait for some seconds;
2. press the three keys on the farther left of the panel, that is COMP./MANUAL, DRUM
ON/OFF, BASS ON/OFF;
3. switch on the instrument again, holding the three keys pressed.
If the operation is successful you will see a different startup screen, where you
can read "FACTORY SETTINGS OK!"; soon afterwards, the instrument goes back to
the usual working conditions.
