Kenton USB-Solo - Manual (Page 13)

13
The USB SOLO has a built-in MIDI analyser function. This feature allows you to see what types of MIDI
messages are being transmitted by your master keyboard/sequencer making the USB SOLO a useful
diagnostic tool.
To enter analyser mode, you must power on the USB SOLO whilst holding the SELECT button. The
display will then show ‘AnL’ for analyser. Releasing the select button shows ‘rC’ for receive channel &
status mode. This means the display will show the MIDI receive channel of any messages it receives in
the right hand two digits, and will show status in the left digit – this is explained further down the page.
Using the INC, DEC, and SELECT buttons, different types of received MIDI messages may be
displayed:
SELECT
Short press [rC] Receive channel & status
Long press [PC] Program change
DEC Short press [nt] Note number
Long press [nv] Velocity
INC Short press [Cn] Controller number
Long press [Cv] Controller value
For whichever of the above selected, the USB SOLO will display the value it receives for the type of
message currently selected.
Although pitchbend and after-touch are not strictly controllers, when Controller number [Cn] mode is
selected, ‘pb’ will be displayed if a pitchbend message is received, and ‘af’ will be displayed if an after-
touch message is received.
If Controller value [Cv] mode is selected, and pitchbend or after-touch messages are received, their
values will be displayed.
When Receive channel & status [rC] mode is selected, the right hand 2 digits show the received MIDI
channel (if applicable) and the left hand digit operates as a received MIDI message indicator. LED
segments will flash when then following types of messages are received: Note on, Note off, Sysex,
Timing clock (MIDI clock), Start, Stop, Continue.
The top left dot (any MIDI message) operates in all modes, not just for Receive Channel & Status
mode.
To exit MIDI analyser mode, the power switch of the USB SOLO must be turned off then on again.
