UTILITY MODE
Control setup data: Each of the four zones of a con-
trol setup contains the following data items:
ON/OFF: Zones that are turned off will not transmit
data.
Transmit channel (1... 16): The data for the zone will
be transmitted on this MIDI channel.
Velocity curve (1...4): This determines how the
note-on velocity of notes played will relate to the
note-on velocity of the notes transmitted by this
zone. (Refer to System utility 2 .Velocity set,
page 253.)
Aftertouch curve (1...4): This determines how pres-
sure on the keyboard will be transmitted as
channel aftertouch messages by this zone.
Bank Select (off, 1-16384): A bank select message
of this number will be transmitted by this zone
when the control setup is selected.
Program Change (off, 1-128): A program change
message of this number will be transmitted by
this zone when the control setup is selected.
Volume (off, 0...127): A volume message (control
change 7) will be transmitted by this zone when
the control setup is selected.
MDR data set (off, 1...99): The specified set of bulk
data will be transmitted when the control setup
is selected. (Refer to MIDI data recorder utility,
page 279.) If there is a large amount of bulk data
in the selected MDR data set, there may be a
noticeable delay while this data is transmitted
before the keyboard will respond to your playing.
Transpose (-64...+64): The notes transmitted by
the zone will be transposed by this amount.
Note Limit (C-2...G8): The zone will transmit only
notes whose note number is inside this range
within.
Velocity Limit (1...127): The zone will transmit only
notes that have a note-on velocity within this
range.
Control setup factory presets: The following eight
control setups were programmed to your SY99
when it left the factory:
