Send Controller Values on Patch Recall
When this parameter is set to On, the stored initial value (position) settings of the
16 Controller Knobs, the Pitch Wheel, the Mod Wheel and the Footpedal will be
transmitted when the patch is recalled via the Xboard front panel. When set to Off,
the stored controller initial value settings will not be transmitted when the patch is
recalled via the Xboard front panel. This setting affects only the behavior of the Xboard
itself. Selecting patches in Xboard Control does not cause controller messages to be sent
from either the host computer or the Xboard.
Note: Pressing the Xboard’s Snapshot button will immediately send the patch’s
stored controller values, regardless of whether this parameter is On or Off.
Velocity Curve Select
This function selects one of the eight velocity curves to customize the velocity
response of the keyboard. Select a synthesizer preset that has velocity programmed
(such as a piano), then choose a curve that gives you the best control.
Click on an image to select the desired velocity curve for the patch. See page 38
for
descriptions of the curves.
Program Change per MIDI Channel
The Xboard has the ability to transmit a MIDI Program Change on each of the 16
MIDI channels whenever a patch is recalled via the Xboard front panel. This
feature allows you to set up all your MIDI instruments for a performance by
simply selecting a patch on the Xboard. Program Bank MSB and LSB numbers are
also transmitted. See
MIDI Bank Select Commands” on page 65 for more infor-
mation.
The Master Enable button turns Program Change transmit on or off for the patch
as a whole. (Note: this setting is the same as the Xboard “PGM Send On Recall” setting
described on page 33
.) The enable buttons over each channel slot allow you to select
which channels will transmit program change messages when the patch is recalled.
Note that the per-channel enable settings can be edited only via Xboard Control.
