DATA ENTRY RPN/NRPN 6
RPN(Registered Parameter Numbers), NRPN (Non-Registered Parameter Numbers), are special
controls that are used to change sound parameters such as, for example, musical entry, release,
filter, timbral resonance. Some NRPN are used to change volume, pan, reverb, chorus, pitch of
every single percussion instrument, e.g. drum, roll, etc. for drum sets. In general, this type of
control is divided into three events.
RPN/NRPN MSB (Most significant byte).
RPN/NRPN LSB (Least significant byte).
RPN/NRPN DATA ENTRY (data) (see midi implementation in the Instructions Handbook for
more details).
Every event that is recorded by the sequencer is associated with the temporal position in which
the event was “seized” (see EDIT menu), represented in bars, bar quarters, steps per quarter.
Notes are also associated with their duration, which is given by the difference in the amount of
time elapsing between the On note (depressed key) and the Off note (released key).
Recording: Once recording is switched on by pressing the F2 button, every midi event is recor-
ded on the selected track, regardless of the event output channel. Thus, events coming from any
channel can be recorded on one single track (therefore, do not confuse track with midi channel).
For example, if a style is recorded on track 01, when track 01 is played back, all the parts of the
style will play because each one of them is associated with a midi channel (see MIDI FILTER
function). To select only one or some parts of a style, the midi-in channel of those parts that are
not to be recorded must be “shut” (see MIDI FILTER function). If a style is recorded internally or
by using the midi plug In 2 (Keyb), the channels are the ones set in the MIDI Channel Tx menu
(see Instructions Handbook). Instead, if recording is made from the midi 1 (GM), the channels
are those set in the General Midi Chan Rx menu(see Instructions Handbook).
Summarizing, in order to record a track::
1 From the MIDI FILTER menu, close the in-coming channels that you do not want to record.
2 Use Page <> or Cursor <> buttons to select the track you want to record.
3 Set the channel of the track you want to record on All, so that you can playback what you recorded.
4 Select the recording mode Overdub/Replace as already described.
5 Set SYNCSTART on On or Off as already described.
6 Determine the initial recording position.
