PANEL Page Parameters
This page sets how the top panel controls respond and whether they send and
receive MIDI NRPN (Non-Registered Parameter Number) data. MIDI NRPN data
can be used to record knob movements and button presses on the A6 to an external
sequencer. These moves can be played back to recreate your performance.
Most of the A6 Program and Mix parameters can be controlled by MIDI NRPN data.
The exceptions are those functions not related to performance (like setting a Mix
Channel’s MIDI channel number) or the Increment and Decrement buttons.
Note that when MIDI NRPN data is controlling the A6, the knob parameter
movements will not show up in the A6’s screen unless it is already on the page of
that parameter. All button presses will be shown however.
PAGE PARAMETER
OPTIONS
or RANGE DESCRIPTION
PANEL PTHRU
Knob pass-thru
mode
NONE
MODLST
ALL
When set to ALL, the knob must pass through
the current value before the value will change.
When set to MODLST, this behavior is applied to
the mod lists only.
TXTHIN
NRPN data
transmission
thinning
THIN
1-4
DENSE
This sets the density of the transmitted MIDI
NRPN data. Some sequencers have trouble
recording very dense MIDI data. If this is the
case with your sequencer, set this value to
THIN
to reduce the amount of MIDI data being sent
out the A6’s MIDI port per unit time. A setting
of
DENSE will cause the most data to be sent per
unit time. The 1-4 settings are intermediate
density settings.
RXMODE
NRPN receive
mode
OFF, ON This determines whether the A6 will respond to
incoming MIDI NRPN panel data.
TXMODE
NRPN transmit
mode
LOCMID
MIDI
LOCAL
This setting is the same as the keyboard
TXMODE, except that it applies to the front
panel knobs and switches.
