SEQ CHANNEL
MIDI channel for internal soundboard drum sequences (1…16)
The output from the drum sequencer that is built into the internal
soundboard will have its own separate MIDI channel. It is important
here that the SEQ CHANNEL not coincide with any of the BASIC
CHANNEL or HOLD CHANNEL reserved MIDI channels. Make
sure you choose a free channel and reserve it for drum sequences
using this parameter. Typically this value is set for ”16.” This parameter
is only available to those who have the internal sound board installed.
PBEND RANGE
Pitchbend limit values (OFF, 1…24)
Techniques often used by guitarists are string bends, pulloffs,
hammerons, slides. In order to effectively interpret these techniques
that are fairly unique to guitar, your AXON uses the MIDI controller
Pitchebend. In much the same way that a keyboard player hits a key
and then uses his pitchwheel to modify the pitch, your AXON can
generate pitchbend information for picked notes. In order for the built
in sound module or the external MIDI instrument to correctly play
this pitchbend information, the limit values for pitchbending need to
be set. The value you choose relates to the number of halfsteps that
the pitch will be allowed to be bent. Make sure that your MIDI
instrument can interpret the values you program for this parameter. If
possible set this value to 12 (one octave). For bass guitar, we
recommend a setting of 24. The value OFF sends no pitchbend
information, so that when you bend strings or slide, the resulting pitch
will change in halfstep increments.
SND PBENDRG
Send Pitchbend Range (ON/OFF)
If your MIDI instrument allows pitchbend parameter settings for every
Preset (sound), set this parameter to ON. In this case your AXON
sends the pitchbend range event directly after every program change
event. If your MIDI instrument saves pitchbend information in its
global area, set this value to OFF.
