Expr. Pedal Settings (Expression Pedal Settings)
The five settings for the Expression Pedal
are located at the bottom of the Accompa -
niment Advanced screen. The Expression
Pedal can be used to control the volume
of the Accompaniment.
The above Data Value box can be changed from values 0 to 100. The value of 0 being that the Accompaniment vol -
ume is not affected by the Expression Pedal settings. The value of 127 being that the Accompaniment volume is fully
affected by the Expression Pedal settings.
Drums - This Data Value box affects the Drum track of your Accompaniment Style.
Acc - This Data Value box affects the Acc tracks Bass and Acc tracks 1-5 of your Accompaniment Style.
Seq - This Data Value box affects the volume of MIDI file playback.
Wave - This Data Value box affects the volume of Wave and MP3 playback.
Offset - Using the setting ‘Offset’ you can determine if there is any volume when the expression-pedal is pulled right
back.
All above values have a range of 0 to 100%. Turn the value to beyond the Maximum or the Minimum in order to set
the value to the standard setting.
Sonstiges (Other / Misc Settings) - This Data Value box activates the XG-Drum standard
within the Accompaniment section. Styles and Accompaniments of the OpenArt-System take
advantage of the XG-format. XG is an expanded General MIDI compliance format that offers
a bigger sound and drum sound palette than the standard General MIDI format offers.
The OpenArt-System offers both standard Drum Kits and XG format-versions. Older instru -
ments used to use a special XG Sound Card, but this card is no longer required and is not
used by WERSI in new instruments. Only the XG standard is retained, naturally only using
WERSI sounds and WERSI Drum sample sounds.
