Useful MIDI-Specific Troubleshooting Features

13

KeyRig 49 has been designed to make working with MIDI on your computer as simple as possible. However, sometimes things can go wrong. To counter this, there are two useful MIDI functions.

All Notes Off

Use this if you find there are sustaining notes that you cannot stop. To send an “All Notes Off” MIDI message:

1.Press the Edit Mode button.

2.Press the black key above D3 (D# 3), representing “ALL NOTES OFF.”

3.Edit mode will exit, and there will no longer be any sustaining notes.

Reset All Controllers

If one or more of the loaded sound patches doesn’t sound as expected, then it may mean that a MIDI CC has applied an undesired effect or other type of sound modulation to that voice. If you are unsure of which MIDI controller to adjust to eliminate the effect, you can send a “Reset All Controllers” MIDI message to set all controller values to their defaults. To send a Reset All Controllers message:

1.Press the Edit Mode button.

2.Press the black key above C3 (C# 3), representing “RESET ALL CONTROLLERS.”

3.Edit mode will exit, and all controller values will be reset to their default values.
