MIDI DIAGNOSTICS MODE

ro-FOUR also has a MIDI analyser function. This feature allows you to see what types of MIDI
messages are being transmitted by your master keyboard/sequencer making the PRO FOUR a

useful diagnostic tool, which can aid you when you have a problem with your MIDI set-up.

To enter analyser mode, you must power on the PRO FOUR whilst holding the PARAMETER button. The
display will then show CHANNEL, NOTE# and VELOCITY, and will display the relevant data, below the
heading.


Using the LOAD, STORE, PARAMETER and VALUE buttons, different types of MIDI messages received may be
displayed;

STORE

Short press

CLOCK, STATUS, SYSEX and ACTIVE SENSING for checking MIDI data.

PARAMETER

Short press

CHANNEL,NOTE# and VELOCITY for checking note information.

VALUE

Short press

CHANNEL,CONTROLLER# and VALUE displays controller information.

Long press

CONTROLLER IDENTITY - displays the name of the rec’d controller.

LOAD

Short press

CHANnel,PROG# and BANK# - displays program change as rec’d.


Although pitchbend and after-touch are not controllers, when Controller number is selected, they will be
displayed when received. If Controller values is selected, and pitchbend or after-touch are received,
their values will be displayed.
During analyser mode some of the LED’s on the front panel also give information. The red LED next to the
parameter button flashes whenever a ‘note on’ is received, while the value LED flashes when a ‘note off’
message is received.
