Kenton CX-3 - Manual (Page 3)

1) Program changes are treated as follows:-
1 = preset I
2 = preset II
3 = preset III
4 = drawbars
5 = percussion 4’ on
6 = percussion 4’ off
7 = percussion 2 2/3’ on
8 = percussion 2 2/3’ off
9 = rotor effect on
10 = rotor effect off
11 = rotor effect fast
12 = rotor effect slow
all other values are ignored
2) The modulation wheel of a synth can also be used to control the rotor effect as follows:-
mod wheel value 0 - 63 = rotor effect on & slow
mod wheel value 64-127 = rotor effect on & fast
3) Receive channel and omni-on setting will return you directly to playing mode, all other keys will let you stay in
SET-UP mode until you press the ENTER key (Top C)
4) Control change commands recognised - (numbers in decimal)
123 all notes off 01 modulation wheel
124 omni mode off (always poly)
125 omni mode on (always poly)
94 select transpose mode
126 (mono mode) = all notes off 95 select set-up mode
127 (poly mode) = all notes off
5) Other commands recognised - (numbers in hexadecimal)
8nH notes off 9nH notes on
BnH control change (see above) CnH program change
FEH active sensing
MIDI CONTROL OF RED PUSH BUTTON
The red push button can be "pressed" via MIDI as MIDI switch number 95 (5Fh) for regular program mode or 94
(5Eh) for transpose mode. The selection of the push button is enough, it doesn’t matter if it is being turned on or
off.
In hexadecimal BX - 5F - 00 = program mode
In hexadecimal BX - 5E - 00 = transpose mode
Where X is the current MIDI channel.
[N.B. whilst in program/transpose modes the MIDI is in omni on mode]
MIDI CONNECTORS
MIDI IN should be connected to a MIDI OUT or a MIDI THRU similarly MIDI OUT should be connected only to a
MIDI IN and a MIDI THRU should also be connected only to a MIDI IN.
