page, while the AFT icon has normal lighting because it indicates the next page in the
section.
The last two icon rectangles on the right, marked HMIR and VMIR respectively, do not
refer to other pages in the section but to 2 specific functions common to both pages of the
section.
As soon as this page is accessed, the first curve available in the MC 3000 memory is
automatically selected. The curve to be modified can be selected by turning the encoder
or using the INC and DEC keys. The cursor keys can be used to locate on other fields, in
order to modify their values with the encoder or INC and DEC.
When this page is accessed, the MC 3000 disactivates the current patch because it might
not be suitable for the curve test; for example, there might be different sound splits which
respond differently to the velocity and might make the curve test uneven and unreliable.
Since the instrument disactivates the current patch, the page offers the user the option of
creating a provisional patch where only the output MIDI port and the MIDI transmission
channel are set. After using the cursor keys to locate in the OUT or CH fields, the user can
use the encoder or INC and DEC to select the MIDI port and the MIDI channel to be used
for transmission of the note message to perform the test curve, respectively. This test is
thus performed with the sound present in the remote unit connected to the specified port,
and receiving on the MIDI channel selected.
In the dynamic response curve the X axis (horizontal) represents the speed at which
the key is physically pressed and the vertical axis (y) represents the value of the
MIDI response emitted.
The MC-3000 allows the user to draw the curve by means of a series of segments having
length ranging from a maximum of 127 (the whole curve) to a minimum of 1 (construction
of the curve point by point).
The START and END fields are used to set the points on the horizontal axis where the
curve (or section of the same) to be drawn is to start and finish. The corresponding
values on the y axis (MIDI dynamics) are entered under the START and END fields, in the
fields marked VALUE. Obviously, a curve with point by point resolution can be created by
moving the Start field value by one unit at a time and setting the corresponding Y value.
In addition, the user is offered the M and Q fields.
