Mode — The chart shows that Mode 3 is OMNI OFF, POLY. This means the keyboard sends and receives polyphon- ic data on only one channel at a time.
Note Number — This number repre- sents each key of the keyboard. The lowest number (0) is five octaves below middle C. Since the keyboard’s lowest note is two octaves below middle C and the highest is three octaves above mid- dle C, your keyboard can send note numbers between 36 and 96 and re- ceive note numbers from 0 through 127. The keyboard automatically assigns any key outside its range to a key within its key range.
Velocity — This number shows how fast the key was pressed, or how loud the note should sound. Pianissimo (1) is the lowest velocity, Fortissimo (127) is the loudest. A zero (0) means the key is released. Your keyboard can send vol- ume level 75 or 100, and receive all vol- ume levels from 0 through 127.
9n — This means that the Note On message is 9 hexadecimal, and n is the channel number.
Pitch Bender — The keyboard receives and sends pitch bending signals.
Control Change — This feature sends data on various controllers, each having its own number. For the details of each parameter, see “MIDI Data” on Page 22.
Program Change — This feature changes the preset sounds. Each sound number corresponds to a program num- ber between 0 and 127. For more infor- mation, see “MIDI Data” on Page 22.
