MIDI Implementation

Model: VK-8 (Combo Organ)

Date:

Dec. 1, 2001

Version: 1.00

1. Receive data

*The VK-8 has two MIDI IN connectors: KEYBOARD IN and PEDAL IN. If the SUB KEYBOARD FUNCTION (p. 58) is ON, messages input to KEYBOARD IN will be received as messages for the Lower part, regardless of their channel number. Messages input to PEDAL IN will be received as messages for the Pedal part, regardless of their channel number (Omni On).

*When the SUB KEYBOARD FUNCTION (p. 58) is OFF, MIDI messages will control each part according to their MIDI channel number (Omni Off). At the factory settings, each part is set to the following transmit/receive channels.

vvH

n = MIDI channel number :

0H - FH (ch.1 - ch.16)

vv = expression :

 

00H - 7FH (0 - 127)

*If you want to control all of the Organ Parts, transmit data on the channel specified by the CONTROL MIDI CH. setting (factory setting: channel 1). It is not possible to separately control each part of the Organ Part.

*When the SUB KEYBOARD FUNCTION (p. 58) is ON, this has the same function as an expression pedal connected to the VK-8’s EXPRESSION PEDAL jack.
