VA-76 Owner’s Manual—MIDI

equipped with a Soft Thru (MIDI echo) function – and only if (i) you connect the VA-76’s MIDI IN and OUT connectors to the external sequencer or com- puter, and (ii) use the VA-76 as MIDI master keyboard for sequencing – you may have to set this parameter to Off to avoid that each note is sounded twice (produc- ing an unpleasant sound called MIDI loop). In all other cases, select On.

Note: A setting tantamount to Local Off can be achieved by muting a part (see page 114) and setting the Part Switch (see page 206) to Int.

Limit

(High, Low: C-1~G9, RX only) High and Low allow you to set the note range to be received. If not all note messages on the selected MIDI channel should be received by the selected part, set the range to the desired values. This may be necessary when control- ling the VA-76 from a MIDI accordion that sends the chord and bass notes on the same channel.

Note: The Low Limit cannot be set to a higher value than the High Limit (and vice versa).

Note: Some instruments start at C-2 and end at G8 (instead of C-1 and G9). You may have to “add an octave” to the value you see on the screen of your computer or exter- nal sequencer.

For the Audio In part, you can only set the MIDI TX and RX channels. Furthermore, this “part” only transmits and receives Volume, PanPot, Reverb Send, and Chorus Send messages – no notes. You could take advantage of this for remotely controlling the Audio In part’s settings from a sequencer, etc.

Filter

Press the [Tx Filter] field to filter outgoing MIDI mes- sages. Press the [Rx Filter] field to prevent the recep- tion of certain MIDI messages.

Here, you can specify for each parameter whether (On) or not (Off) the selected message should be received or transmitted. The MIDI messages you can filter are:

PChng— Program change messages (including Bank Select)

PBend— Pitch Bend messages Modul— Modulation messages (CC01) Volume— Volume messages (CC07) PanPot— Pan(pot) messages (CC10)

Expre— Expression messages (CC11)

Hold— Hold (Sustain, Damper) messages (CC64) Sostn— Sostenuto messages (CC66)

Soft— Soft messages (CC67) CC69— Hold 2.

Revrb— Reverb Send messages (CC91) Chrus— Chorus Send messages (CC93) Delay— Delay Send messages (CC94)

CAF— Channel Aftertouch

RPN— Registered parameter number (CC100/101) NRPN— Non-registered parameter number (CC98/ 99)

SysEx— SysEx messages (system exclusive) CC16, CC17— M-Value 1 & 2 settings.

CC32= 0— (RX only) What to do when the received CC32 message equals 0 or is missing. For this parame- ter, you can select “4” (VA-76), “1”, “2”, or “3”. You can- not filter this Bank Select message.

Note: See “MIDI messages used by the VA-76” on page 197 for details about these MIDI messages.

Press the [oBack] field to return to the “regular” MIDI parameters.

Tx Filter page of the Style parts

The Style/Arranger parts only transmit and receive the following MIDI messages, which is why the list of parameters that can be filtered is a lot shorter:

Note that the [NRPN] parameter is only available for the ADrums part – not for the melodic Arranger parts. The NRPN messages are used for “Drum Set Note & Pitch” (see page 175).
