Operation–Message mode

Message mode
In Message mode you can transmit various types of MIDI messages.
Message mode is divided into sixteen pages. Pads [1]–[8] will transmit
preset MIDI messages. Pads [9]–[16] will transmit the messages you create in
the Setting mode [14] MESSAGE page.
In Play mode, you can hold down the [MESSAGE] key and press a pad [1]–
[16] to transmit the MIDI messages listed below. While you hold down the
[MESSAGE] key, pads [1]–[8] will light red, and pads [9]–[16] to which MIDI
messages are assigned will light green.
Alternatively, you can hold down the [EXIT] key and press the [MESSAGE]
key; the main display will indicate “MesgPad?”, and the KONTROL49 will
wait for you to select a message. From this state you can press a pad to
transmit a message. If you press a pad to transmit a message, the
KONTROL49 will remain in this state after the message is transmitted
(Mode Lock). You can then press another pad to transmit another message.
To exit this state, press the [EXIT] key.
The Setting mode USB-MIDI Port parameter specifies the port from
which the message will be transmitted. (☞p.44 “Setting mode–[15]
USB-MIDI PORT (USB-MIDI Port setting)”)
[1] PANIC (Panic message)
This transmits All Note Off [Bn, 7B, 00], All Sound Off [Bn, 78, 00], and
Reset All Controllers [Bn, 79, 00] messages on all MIDI channels.
You can execute this if the connected software becomes unstable or if “stuck
notes” occur on a connected MIDI sound module. (The numbers in the
brackets are the hexadecimal values for these messages; “Bn” is the current
MIDI channel.)
