MAIN MIDI MESSAGES TRANSMITTED AND RECEIVED BY THE LEGEND SOLO
•
Note On:
9nH kkH vvH
This message is transmitted when a note is played, i.e. when a keyboard key is pressed. Each Note On
message includes the following codes:
Note On (9nH): when a key has been pressed, n is the MIDI channel;
Note Number (kkH): the key and thus the relative note which has been played;
Velocity (vvH): velocity of the note (the force with which the key had been pressed).
Note messages are expressed as a number from 0 to 127, with Middle C represented by the number 60.
Upper and Lower section transmit Note On message as number from 36 to 96 (30 – 101 with transpose,
Lower only 42 – 113 with transpose and Octave Up). Pedalboard transmits notes as number from 36 to 60
(30 – 65 with transpose)
Since its velocity value is fixed, when drawbars Set A or B or a Preset is selected, the instrument always
sets the velocity value as 64. When Cancel mode is selected, the instrument transmits notes with variable
velocity.
•
Note Off:
8nH kkH vvH
This message is transmitted when the key pressed previously is released. When it is received, the sound of
the note of that key is deactivated. Each Note Off message includes the following codes:
Note Off (8nH): a key has been released, n is the MIDI channel;
Note Number (kkH): which key has been released;
Velocity (vvH): velocity (amount of force) with which it has been released.
N.B.: A Note On message with Velocity=0 is considered as a Note Off message.
•
Control Change:
BnH ccH vvH
These are control messages (often associated to sliders or pedals) used to add expression to the
performance, by allowing definition (and real-time control) of the timbre parameters, such as the volume
(CC n.7) or the amount of reverb (CC n.91), etc. Each Control Change message includes the following
codes:
Control Change (BnH): a control has been regulated, n is the MIDI channel;
Control Change Number (kkH): which control has been regulated;
Value (vvH): value set by the control.
•
Pitch Bend:
EnH H vvH ssH
Controls the instrument general tuning. This message includes the following codes:
Pitch Bend (EnH): the pitch has been adjusted. n is the MIDI channel;
1st byte tuning (vvH)
2nd byte tuning (ssH)
N.B.: this message is only received.
