Message mode

In Message mode you can transmit various types of MIDI messages.

Message mode is divided into sixteen pages. Pads [1]–[8] will transmit preset MIDI messages. Pads [9]–[16] will transmit the messages you create in the Setting mode [14] MESSAGE page.

In Play mode, you can hold down the [MESSAGE] key and press a pad [1]–

[16]to transmit the MIDI messages listed below. While you hold down the [MESSAGE] key, pads [1]–[8] will light red, and pads [9]–[16] to which MIDI messages are assigned will light green.

Alternatively, you can hold down the [EXIT] key and press the [MESSAGE] key; the main display will indicate “MesgPad?”, and the KONTROL49 will wait for you to select a message. From this state you can press a pad to transmit a message. If you press a pad to transmit a message, the KONTROL49 will remain in this state after the message is transmitted (Mode Lock). You can then press another pad to transmit another message. To exit this state, press the [EXIT] key.

Pad No.

[1] PANIC (Panic message)

This transmits All Note Off [Bn, 7B, 00], All Sound Off [Bn, 78, 00], and Reset All Controllers [Bn, 79, 00] messages on all MIDI channels.

You can execute this if the connected software becomes unstable or if “stuck notes” occur on a connected MIDI sound module. (The numbers in the brackets are the hexadecimal values for these messages; “Bn” is the current MIDI channel.)

Only in the case of the Panic message, the messages will be transmitted from both USB Port A and USB Port B, regardless of the Setting mode [15] USB-MIDI PORT (USB-MIDI Port setting).
