MIDI message transmission/ reception settings

The transmission and reception of each type of MIDI message can be switched on/off by pressing the key assigned to that type of MIDI message. Transmission/ reception is enabled if the corresponding key is lit, and disabled if the key is dark. (see the “Transmitted and received messages” table below)

Some parameters are only transmitted, and others are only received.

Changing the MIDI control numbers

In MIDI Edit mode, you can hold down one of the [PROGRAM MEMORY 3–8] keys and turn the [PROGRAM/BPM] knob to change the control number setting assigned to that key.

Although you are free to assign (duplicate) an already- assigned control number, you cannot simultaneously enable transmission/reception of the same control number.

The MIDI messages transmitted and received by the KAOSS PAD Entrancer can be selected from a range of CC#1–CC#31, CC#64–CC#95, and Pitch Bend.

Storing the edited settings

In MIDI Edit mode, press and hold the [REC/STOP] key for one second or more; the edited MIDI settings will be stored. The pattern select mode setting will also be stored at this time. If you turn off the power without storing the settings, the KAOSS PAD Entrancer will revert to the previous settings.

To exit MIDI Edit mode

To return to normal operation, you can either touch the touch-pad, press the [FUNCTION] key, or wait for ten seconds without performing any operation.

About the stored settings

The contents of “PROGRAM MEMORY” and the control number settings you make in MIDI Edit mode can be transmitted as exclusive messages and saved on an external MIDI device.

For details on the exclusive messages that can be transmitted, refer to the separate MIDI Implementation.

SAMPLE 1

*1: You can select the MIDI message that will be transmitted/received from a range of CC#1–CC#31, CC#64– CC#95, and Pitch Bend. ( ) indicates the factory setting.

*2: On/off and CC# settings will be the same for transmission and reception.

Control changes for touch-pad Y-axis (Y=5–9, Y=5–1) and touch-pad X+Y axis can be transmitted but not received. This means that when recording control changes onto a sequencer, you must use MIDI Edit mode to turn [PROGRAM MEMORY 1–3] off so that unnecessary MIDI messages are not transmitted. You cannot duplicate the settings of control numbers that have already been assigned.
