[. . . ] The realtime modulation routings are completely flexible as shown in the example above. Chapter 4: PROGRAMMING BASICS 51 PROGRAMMING BASICS MIDI REALTIME CONTROLS The MIDI realtime controllers may seem confusing at first, but they are really very simple to understand. You probably already know that there are 16 MIDI channels that can be used. Each of the 16 MIDI channels uses basically 3 types of messages; note on/off, program changes, and continuous controller messages. Your MIDI keyboard, in addition to telling Carnaval which note was played, may also send realtime control information, which simply means occurring in real time or live. (You may be using a MIDI device other than a keyboard, but for simplicity's sake we'll presume that you're using a keyboard. ) Realtime control sources include such things as pitch wheels or levers, modulation wheels or levers, control pedals, aftertouch, etc. Your MIDI keyboard sends out realtime controller information on separate continuous controllers. There is a set of 32 continuous controllers for each of the 16 MIDI channels. Some of the controllers, such as pitch wheel, volume, and pan have been standardized. For example, volume is usually sent on continuous controller #7. ··· MIDI wind controllers may work better if you assign one of the MIDI A, B, C, D controllers to control volume. This will allow the MIDI volume to be added to the current volume. MIDI Channel 1 Note On/Off Program Change Continuous Controllers MIDI Channel 2 Note On/Off Program Change Continuous Controllers MIDI Channel 3 Note On/Off Program Change Continuous Controllers MIDI Channel 16 Note On/Off Program Change Continuous Controllers Common realtime controllers such as the modulation wheel (or mod wheel), volume, pan and pressure are pre-programmed to their proper destinations. Your keyboard may have other realtime controls such as a control pedal or data slider which can also be programmed to control most of the parameters on Carnaval. Carnaval is equipped with a sophisticated MidiPatchTM system, which allows you to route any continuous controller to any realtime modulation destination. First, you must know which controller numbers your keyboard can transmit. 52 Carnaval OPERATION MANUAL PROGRAMMING BASICS Let's say for example, that you are using a Yamaha DX7 as your master keyboard. The DX7 has pitch and mod wheels, a breath controller, a data slider and a foot pedal, all of which transmit their values over MIDI. The standard MIDI controller numbers for the controls are listed below (the pitch wheel has a dedicated controller, PWH). First, we would go to the Master menu, MIDI Controller Assign and define the 4 MIDI controllers that we wish to use. 01 - Modulation Wheel 02 - Breath Controller 04 - Foot Pedal 06 - Data Entry A B C D Standard MIDI Controller Numbers 1 Modulation Wheel 2 Breath Controller 3 Pressure Rev 1 DX7 4 Foot Pedal 5 Portamento Time 6 Data Entry 7 Volume 8 Balance 9 Undefined 10 Pan To complete the connections for a particular preset, go to the Edit menu, Realtime Control, and route the MIDI A, B, C, D to the desired destinations. These could be patched to any 4 destinations or even to the same destination. The MIDI Controller Amount menu, (in the Edit menu) allows you to scale the amounts of each of the controllers by a positive or negative value. The signal flow is shown in the diagram below. Master Menu 0 1 2 3 31 Edit Menu A + Control Destinations Pitch Primary Pitch only Secondary Pitch only Volume Primary Volume only Secondary Volume only Attack Primary Attack only Secondary Attack only Decay Primary Decay only Secondary Decay only Release Primary Release only Secondary Release only Crossfade LFO 1 Rate LFO 1 Amount LFO 2 Rate LFO 2 Amount Auxiliary Envelope Amount Auxiliary Envelope Attack Auxiliary Envelope Decay Auxiliary Envelope Release Portamento Rate Primary Portamento Rate Secondary Portamento Rate Filter Morph Primary Filter Morph Secondary Filter Morph Pan Primary Pan Secondary Pan MIDI Controller A B 0 1 2 3 31 MIDI Controller B - + MIDI 0 1 2 3 31 C MIDI Controller C + D 0 1 2 3 31 MIDI Controller D - + Amount The MIDI controllers A-B-C-D must have both a source (0-31), and a destination assigned. Chapter 4: PROGRAMMING BASICS 53 PROGRAMMING BASICS STEREO MIX OUTPUTS Carnaval has three sets of polyphonic stereo outputs (Main, Sub 1, Sub 2). The channels used by a particular preset may be directed to appear at any one of these three stereo outputs. This feature is useful for signal processing (EQ, reverb, etc. ) of individual sounds prior to final mixdown.
