TRANSMITTING MIDI MESSAGES

Operation 1

MIDI messages of note on/off, velocity and modulation are transmitted no matter which MIDI channel is selected.

Note on/off message is transmitted when the corresponding key is pressed/released.

Use the Octave Shift Button, shift the octave range up or down so that GZ-500 is able to send note numbers 17 to 108 but the keyboard has 61 keys only.

Velocity is also transmitted when a key is pressed. GZ-500 sends the velocity in accordance with the strength of the pressed key and the selected touch curve (sensitivity).

Data of modulation is transmitted when the corresponding wheel is operated.
