MIDI, Page 4 of 7 - Switch Type
The fourth page of the MIDI program, Switch Type, determines how each
instant access switch will operate. This feature allows for each switch to be assigned
as either a Latching, Momentary or Hold switch, and is global for all presets.
A LATCHING switch type sends the "on" control value when the switch is
pressed and turns the L.E.D. on. Pressing the switch a second time sends the
"off" control value and turns the L.E.D. off. When changing presets, the "on/
off" status stored for the preset is always sent.
A MOMENTARY switch type sends the "on" control value when the switch
is pressed, turning the L.E.D. on, and the "off" control when the switch is
released (the L.E.D. remains on). The L.E.D. changes status once each time
the switch is pressed and released. When changing presets, if the new
switch status is different than the current status, the "on" value is sent
followed by the "off" value 5 milliseconds later. The MIDI control change
that is associated with this switch is sent only if the switch status changes.
A HOLD switch type is the same as a momentary switch type, except that
the L.E.D. turns on when the switch is pressed and turns off when the switch
is released. When changing presets, switches assigned as HOLD switches
do sot send a MIDI message.
If the switches have been assigned names (as described in SETUP, Page 5),
the names of the instant access switches will be displayed instead of the switch
numbers. Only those switches which are configured as instant access switches will
be accessible.
To assign the type of each instant access switch:
() With the 2ND L.E.D. still lit, press the "ð" switch to access the next page
of the MIDI program, Switch Type. (If the All Access is not already in the
MIDI editing mode, press "2ND", then "MIDI", followed by "ð" three times.)
() Use the "INC" and "DEC" switches directly below the displayed instant
access switch to select the switch to be assigned a switch type.
() Use the "INC" and "DEC" switches directly below the displayed switch type
to select a type for the selected switch.
Repeat steps and for each of the instant access switches/pedals
