Using the Upper and Lower sections in isolation allows you to quickly "select" another MIDI channel without performing the steps outlined under "Setting the MIDI channel", which is convenient in a live situation. 16 Also note that the following parameters can be set for each section individually, thus greatly expanding the scope of your A-33: MIDI channel Octave Shift - MIDI parameters 17/18 (P BEND MOD ON/OFF) - MIDI parameters 21 /22 (SUSTAIN/OFF) - MIDI parameters 23/24 (EXPRESSION ON/OFF) Split mode The Split Mode divides the keyboard into two sections: the Upper section for your right hand and the Lower section for your left hand. Press the SPLIT button [6] to call up the Split mode (indicator lights). Setting the Split point When the "Split" Keyboard Mode is active, the keyboard is divided into two sections. The Lower section transmits note messages for the keys /notes E-l to B3, while the Upper Section transmits note messages for the keys/notes C4 to G7. You may, however, set a different Split point. [Procedure] 1. Press and hold the KBD Mode SPLIT button [6] (the LED will flash). 2. Press the keyboard key that is to become the Split point. 3. Release the "SPLIT" button and the key. 17 Layer mode You can also use both sections (Upper and Lower) at the same time, which is called "layering". In the Layer mode, the A-33 will send note information on two MIDI channels. That also explains why it is impossible to assign the same MIDI channel to the Upper and Lower sections: it wouldn't make sense to send the same information to an instrument or Part twice. To select the Layer mode, set on both KBD Mode UPPER and LOWER . To return to the Upper or Lower mode, set off one of the KBD Modes. MIDI OUT 1 AND MIDI OUT 2 CONNECTORS_ A-33 is equipped with two MIDI OUT sockets that can be separately switched On or Off using the MIDI OUT 1 [2] and MIDI OUT 2 [3] buttons located on the front panel. Both MIDI OUT sockets send the same MIDI messages (parallel connection) but can be switched on or off individually. You could take advantage of these two MIDI OUT sockets to avoid transmission delays due to MIDI "daisy chains" (a serial connection between the MIDI IN and MIDI THRU connectors of several instruments). Furthermore, you could use this facility to alternate between two instruments by simply transmitting the A-33's MIDI messages to the MIDI OUT socket the module you wish to control is connected to. The on/off setting for the MIDI OUT sockets can be stored in the A-33's 32 Patch memories, along with a lot of other settings. See "Storing settings in a Patch Memory" on page 33. 18 SELECTING SOUNDS ON A GS SOUND MODULE (PROGRAM CHANGE/BANK SELECT)_ Program Change/Bank Select messages are used to select Tones (for "melodic" Parts) or Drum Sets (for Drum Parts, usually assigned to MIDI channel 10) via MIDI. Selecting Sounds on a GS Sound Module If you want to change Tones in a GS module, you need to send Bank Select messages (values for control change numbers CC00 and CC32) along with a program change number. The value for CC00 (MSB) and that for CC32 (LSB) work together as a pair to specify a Variation or the Capital bank. Please note that bank selection alone is not enough to call up sounds. Bank Select messages need to be followed by a Program Change number. On the A-33, these three messages are always sent as a set (let us agree to call them "sound select clusters"): Value for control change number CC00 (MSB) Value for control change number CC32 (LSB) Program Change number * These messages can be sent on the Upper or Lower section. [Procedure] 1. Press the SELECT LOWER [9] or SELECT UPPER [10] button to select the section you wish to use for sending the sound select cluster. The choice of the section (Upper or Lower) determines the MIDI channel the sound select cluster will be transmitted on. 2. If necessary, set the MIDI transmit channel to match that of the desired Part of the module. 3. Press the MODE EDIT [12] button (indicator lights). 4. Press the CC32 button [22] (indicator lights). 5. Specify the value of control change CC32 using the 0-9 buttons in the PATCH/TONE section [18]. 6. Press ENTER [19]. 7. The indicator of the CC00 button [21] will light. 8. Specify the value of control change CC00 using the 0-9 buttons in the PATCH/TONE section [18]. 9. Press ENTER [19]. 10. Now the indicator of the PRG CHANGE button [23] lights. 19 11. Select the Program Number using the 0-9 buttons in the PATCH/TONE section [18]. 12. Press ENTER [19]. 13. Press the MODE EDIT button [12] again (the LED will go out). [Example] Let us select Variation no. 8, Instrument no. 3 sound (Piano 3w) on the SC-55mkII: 1. Set the MIDI transmit channel to match that of the desired Part. 2. Press the MODE Edit [12] button (indicator lights). 3. Press the CC32 button [22] (indicator lights). 4. Press the "0" key in the PATCH/TONE section [18]. 5. Press ENTER [19]. 6. The CC00 button ind...
