Monitoring the MIDI connection status
The MV-8800 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.”
1.
Press [SYSTEM].
The SYSTEM MENU screen (Screen Guide; p. 172) will appear.
2.
With the cursor located in the upper row of icons, press [F3](MIDI). Alternatively, select the
MIDI icon and press [ENTER].

3.
Set the Tx Active Sensing parameter.
If this is On, the MV-8800 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-8800 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.”
