Owner's Manual – Viscount CantorumVI
CONTROL CHANGE
These are control messages (often associated to trimmers or pedals) used to add expression to the performance,
allowing you to set (and control in real time if necessary) voice parameters such as volume (CC n.7) or the position of
the expression pedals (CC n.11), etc.
This message contains the following information:
Control Change: a controller has been adjusted
Controller Number: which controller has been adjusted
Controller Position: the position of the controller
SYSTEM MESSAGES
SYSTEM EXCLUSIVE
These messages can only be interpreted by an instrument made by the same producer as the transmitter device (in some
cases only by the same model). They mainly relate to the instrument’s sound generation and programming parameters.
The CantorumVI uses these messages to control all the internal parameters and for switching the voices on and off.
REAL TIME
These messages are used for the real-time control of specific modules or functions of a connected instrument.
These messages include the Start, Stop, Pause/Continue and Clock commands. In the CantorumVI these messages are
transmitted when the internal sequencer is used, as follows:
START : the sequencer has started to record or play back a MIDI sequence
STOP : the sequencer has been stopped
PAUSE / CONTINUE: the sequencer is in pause (this function isn't managed by CantorumVI)
CLOCK : the sequencer speed
The Real Time messages also include the Active Sensing code, sent to keep the dialogue between two MIDI
instruments alive. When the receiver instrument does not receive any MIDI data or the Active Sensing code in a time
interval of about 300 milliseconds, it considers the MIDI connection to have been deactivated, so it switches off any
notes still active. Remember that the transmission and reception of this message is optional, so not all instruments are
equipped to handle it.
TRANSMISSION OF MIDI CODES
MIDI channels for the CantorumVI are preset by default but can be modified by the user.
By default they are:
•
Channel 1 for Manual II
•
Channel 2 for Manual I
•
Channel 4 for Bass section
To toggle the transmission of MIDI codes for each section of the keyboard first enter the MIDI
mode by pressing the
[TRANSPOSER] button for about two seconds. It will start flashing. All the
lights will shut down except for the three Bass section stops. To enable/disable the transmission of
MIDI messages for the three sections turn on/off the respective stops in bass section (note that the
section names are written under the stops). The MIDI message that will be disabled are note
