Configuring the AX-7

DATA parameters
The DATA parameters represent MIDI messages you can use for configuring
the receiving MIDI instrument up to a certain point by specifying things like
its main and expression volume, its Reverb and/or Chorus depth, etc.
These are “static” settings that are transmitted whenever you select a Patch.
With the exception of ch, mod, and dmp, the corresponding control change
numbers can also be assigned to the DATA ENTRY knob for continuous real-
time control (see p. 11).
Note: Be sure to select 0FF for any MIDI message that should not be transmitted.
Note: See page 10 for how to select and set these parameters.
[0]
ch
(MIDI channel)
Upper, Lower
This parameter allows you to assign the desired MIDI
channel to the Upper or Lower section (1~16).
You can also select 0FF (by simultaneously pressing
[DOWN]/[UP]) to keep the section in question from
sending any MIDI messages whatsoever.
[1]
Uol
(Volume)
Upper, Lower
This parameter allows you to specify the volume
value (CC07) to be transmitted by the Upper and/or
Lower section whenever you select the Patch that
contains this setting. The setting range is 0~127,
Off. Remember that selecting “0” will silence the
receiving MIDI instrument.
Note: Even if you set this parameter to “127”, you will hear
nothing at all if you set EHP (see below) to “0”.
[2]
pan
(PanPot)
Upper, Lower
This parameter allows you to specify the Pan value
(CC10) to be transmitted by the Upper and/or Lower
section whenever you select the Patch that contains
this setting. The setting range is 0~127, Off. The
value “0” corresponds to hard left, “64” to the cen-
ter, and “127” to hard right.
Note: Some MIDI instruments work the other way round (0=
right/127= left). See the manual of the instrument you are
controlling for details.
[3]
eHp
(Expression)
Upper, Lower
This parameter allows you to specify the expression
value (CC11) to be transmitted by the Upper and/or
Lower section whenever you select the Patch that
contains this setting. The setting range is 0~127,
Off. Selecting “0” will silence the receiving MIDI
instrument. In most instances, you will probably
select 0FF or 127.
Note: Even if you set this parameter to “127”, you will hear
nothing at all if you set Uol (see above) to “0”.
[4]
reU
(Reverb Send Level)
Upper, Lower
This parameter allows you to specify the Reverb
Send Level value (CC91) to be transmitted by the
Upper and/or Lower section whenever you select
the Patch that contains this setting. The setting
range is 0~127, Off.
Selecting “0” will set the receiving MIDI instrument
to “dry” (no Reverb), while “127” represents the
maximum Reverb Send level.
Note: If there is no audible change, you may have to check
the Reverb effect settings on the receiving MIDI instrument.
Note: Not all MIDI instruments have a Reverb effect, and
even if they do, they may not support this control change
number (this is especially true of older instruments).
[5]
cho
(Chorus Send Level)
Upper, Lower
This parameter allows you to specify the Chorus
Send Level value (CC93) to be transmitted by the
Upper and/or Lower section whenever you select
the Patch that contains this setting. The setting
range is 0~127, Off. Selecting “0” will set the receiv-
ing MIDI instrument to “dry” (no Chorus), while
“127” represents the maximum Chorus Send level.
Note: If there is no audible change, you may have to check
the Chorus effect settings on the receiving MIDI instrument.
Note: Not all MIDI instruments have a Chorus effect, and
even if they do, they may not support this control change
number (this is especially true of older instruments).
[6]
del
(Delay Send Level)
Upper, Lower
This parameter allows you to specify the Delay Send
Level value (CC94) to be transmitted by the Upper
and/or Lower section whenever you select the Patch
that contains this setting. The setting range is
0~127, Off. Selecting “0” will set the receiving MIDI
instrument to “dry” (no Delay), while “127” repre-
sents the maximum Delay Send level.
Note: If there is no audible change, you may have to check
the Delay effect settings on the receiving MIDI instrument.
Note: Not all MIDI instruments have a Delay effect, and even
if they do, they may not support this control change number.
[7]
por
(Portamento)
Upper, Lower
This parameter allows you to set two parameters
simultaneously: the Portamento switch (CC065) and
the Portamento time (CC05). By selecting a value
between “0” and “127”, the Portamento switch is
automatically set to “on” (127). If you set the Por
parameter to 0ff, however, the Portamento switch
(CC65) is turned off (0).
