Roland MV-8000 Monitoring the MIDI connection status

Using the MV-8000 with MIDI or V-LINK devices
Monitoring the MIDI connection status
The MV-8000 can transmit “Active Sensing messages” at regular intervals. If the MIDI
cable is broken or disconnected, these messages will no longer be received by the
receiving device.
By continually checking for these messages, the receiving device can determine
whether a cable has been disconnected etc. while a note is sounding, and therefore
prevent problems such as “stuck notes.”

3. Set the Tx Active Sensing parameter.
If this is On, the MV-8000 will transmit Active Sensing messages. If you switch Tx Active
Sensing from On to Off while a
MIDI device is connected, the
receiving device may display
an error indicating that
reception has ceased; this is
not a malfunction.
The MV-8000 can also monitor
the connection state by
monitoring Active Sensing
messages it receives from an
external device. If reception
ceases while these messages
are being received, it will
indicate “MIDI Offline.”
