Frame
In the Memotron m2k, it is a combination of up to three tracks and their effect settings.
Note on / Note off
This is the most important MIDI message, determining the tone pitch and the velocity of the generated tone.
The time of its arrival is at the same time the starting point of the tone. The pitch is the result of the
transmitted note numbers, ranging from 0 to 127. The velocity's range is from 1 to 127. The velocity value 0
means “NoteOff“, i.e. the note is switched off.
Panning
Designates the panorama position of a sound.
Pitch Bend
Pitch Bend is a MIDI message. Although the functions of the Pitch Bend message are similar to those of the
control change messages, it represents a message type of its own. The reason why is above all that the
Pitch Bend message is transmitted with a considerably finer resolution than the ”usual” controller. This takes
into account that the human ear is extremely sensitive to pitch changes.
Sample data
A digitally recorded representation of a sound.
Sampling
The process of encoding an analogue signal into digital form by reading (sampling) its level at short and
precisely spaced intervals of time.
System Exclusive data
System Exclusive data represent the access to the innermost part of a MIDI device. They enable access to
data and functions which are not represented by any other MIDI messages. ”Exclusive“ also means that the
data indicated here only apply to one single type of device. Each device has its own System Exclusive data.
The most frequent applications for this data type are the transmission of complete memory contents as well
as the complete device control by means of a computer.
Low pass Filter
A filter that alters a sound by attenuating its high frequencies.
Track
In the Memotron m2k, it denotes one of three independent memory areas into which sound data can be
loaded.
Sound Settings
In this menu, frames can be loaded and saved. Further tracks can be selected and the associated sound
parameters can be set.
