Creative E-MU manual Keyboard Settings, Basic Midi Channel, Midi Channel Number Per Control

E-MU Xboard Control

NRPN Mode

For devices that support NRPNs (Non-Registered Parameter Numbers). NRPN messages can span across two controller numbers (LSB and MSB), increasing the range of potential values. A complete NRPN message consists of NRPN parameters LSB and MSB (set in the Xboard Control) and NRPN data LSB and MSB (sent by the Continuous Controller).

NOTE: NRPN mode does not have an Initial Controller setting.

LThis value (0-127) defines NRPN parameter LSB (Least Significant Byte).

MThis value (0-127) defines NRPN parameter MSB (Most Significant Byte).

Keyboard Settings

Basic MIDI Channel:

The keyboard always transmits on the basic MIDI channel. The controller knobs, wheels and footpedal/footswitch also transmit on the Basic MIDI channel, except when the “MIDI Channel Number Per Control” option is selected.

MIDI Channel Number Per Control

The keyboard ALWAYS transmits on this MIDI channel. The knobs also transmit on this channel, except when “MIDI Channel” Number Per Control” is selected.

Normally, the keyboard and all controllers are transmitted on the Basic MIDI channel. This option allows you to select any MIDI channel for each knob, the two wheels and the footpedal. The example below shows how you might control four parameters on four different synthesizers using the sixteen controller knobs.
