Kenton OSCar - Manual (Page 3)

channels are not the same, the slave instrument will not respond. Press the [SPACE] button to check the
status of omni mode.
7. PULL-OFF
At power on, the PULL-OFF response is enabled.
To disable, press and hold down [SPACE] button and press key 22. To re-enable repeat the procedure.
OSCAR responds when the sounding key is released but another key is still held down. Using the PULL-
OFF style of playing is immensely desirable with monophonic instruments.
ALL NOTES OFF
When using MIDI instruments notes can occasionally be left on when they should be off. If a MIDI lead is
disconnected before an appropriate note off signal is given, the note will stay on.
Press and release [SPACE] button, this will turn off all the keys of the OSCAR keyboard, regardless of
how they came on. If keyboard signals are enabled, it also transmits a special all notes off signal which
has the same effect on a slave OSCAR with the keyboard signal enabled. Most other MIDI instruments
respond to the all notes off signal.
PROGRAM DATA TRANSFER
With the use of the MIDI System Exclusive format, programmable waveform, voice and sequence data
can be transferred to another OSCAR. (See Cassette, Saving and Loading Section) Press and hold
down [INSERT] button (cassette ready) and press [VOICE], [SEQ] or one of the [WAVEFORM] push
buttons (or [STORE] for all three types); the OCTAVE display will show the ready condition in the normal
way. Then, instead of pressing [LOAD] or [SAVE], press [SPACE] and the data will be transmitted. It is
not necessary to set up the slave Oscar, the data received at the MIDI IN will be stored in its memory
