Each drum part knob can be edited using NRPN
MIDI messages.
About note-on/note-off
When you press a drum part key, a note-on mes-
sage of the note number assigned to each drum part
key will be transmitted on the specified MIDI chan-
nel.
When you use the Keyboard function to play the
step keys, a note-on message [9n, kk, vv] (n: chan-
nel, kk: note number, vv: velocity) of the note num-
ber assigned to each step key and a velocity value
corresponding to the strength with which you
pressed the key will be transmitted.
On the ESX-1, the vv:velocity value is adjusted by
the level of each accent part. When you release a
key, a note-off message [8n, kk, vv] will be trans-
mitted. However, very few devices receive note-
off velocity data, and the ESX-1 does not transmit
it. When the ESX-1 receives note-on/off messages
on the MIDI channel assigned for a part, that part
will be sounded.
If the ESX-1’s MIDI filter “N” setting is set to “x,”
note-on/off messages will not be transmitted or re-
ceived. (☞p.90 “Making MIDI filter settings”)
