Using MIDI
Mode
— The chart shows that Mode 3
is OMNI OFF, POLY. This means the
keyboard sends and receives polyphon-
ic data on only one channel at a time.
Note Number
— This number repre-
sents each key of the keyboard. The
lowest number (0) is five octaves below
middle C. Since the keyboard’s lowest
note is two octaves below middle C and
the highest is three octaves above mid-
dle C, your keyboard can send note
numbers between 36 and 96 and re-
ceive note numbers from 0 through 127.
The keyboard automatically assigns any
key outside its range to a key within its
key range.
Velocity
— This number shows how
fast the key was pressed, or how loud
the note should sound. Pianissimo (1) is
the lowest velocity, Fortissimo (127) is
the loudest. A zero (0) means the key is
released. Your keyboard can send vol-
ume level 75 or 100, and receive all vol-
ume levels from 0 through 127.
9n
— This means that the Note On
message is 9 hexadecimal, and n is the
channel number.
Pitch Bender
— The keyboard receives
and sends pitch bending signals.
