Global Mode

The Global Parameters

9-6

Program Change (ProgChg)

The Program Change (ProgChg) parameter determines whether or not entry MIDI Program

Change messages are sent for Setups. You can set this parameter to either On or Off.

Pressing both Value buttons simultaneously will set this parameter to On.

Note that when you perform a MIDI Program Change through MIDI Program Change

Mode, the setting of the Global Program Change parameter (as well as the setting of the

Global Destination parameter) is ignored.

Local Keyboard Channel (LclKbdChan)

Changing the setting of the Local Keyboard Channel parameter is useful only when

your SP5 is receiving MIDI information from an external source. Perhaps you have a

favorite MIDI keyboard that you use to control all the gear in your studio, or you use a

lot of outboard sequencing. If you’re using the SP5 as a standalone music workstation or

performance keyboard, you can ignore this parameter.

The local keyboard channel enables the SP5 to receive MIDI information on a single

channel, then rechannelize that information so you can play and control all four Zones of

a Setup, even if your MIDI source transmits on only one channel. When you’re in Program

Mode, the local keyboard channel remaps incoming information to the SP5’s current

channel. When using the local keyboard channel all the MIDI information received on the

Local Keyboard Channel also gets sent—after being remapped—to the SP5’s MIDI and

USB Out ports.

You may nd it more convenient to use the local keyboard channel. In this case, the SP5

remaps incoming MIDI to the SP5’s current channel, so in Program Mode, you’ll always play

the Program on the SP5’s current channel. Incoming MIDI also gets sent to the SP5’s MIDI

and USB Out port. On the other hand, in this case your MIDI source’s transmitting channel

must match the SP5’s local keyboard channel for anything to work.

Things are a bit different for playing Setups. In this case, you must use the Local Keyboard

Channel to be able to play and control all of the Setup’s Zones. Set LclKbdChan to match

the channel your external MIDI source is using (if for example your MIDI source transmits

on Channel 1, set LclKbdChan to 1). All MIDI information that the SP5 receives on the

local keyboard channel gets remapped to the channels and control destinations used by the

Zones in the Setup.

The SP5 also remaps certain MIDI Controller messages that it receives on the Local

Keyboard Channel, so that they correspond (in most cases) to the default assignments for

the SP5’s physical controllers (Mod Wheel, sliders, etc.). Physical controller assignments are

handled by Setups, and are dened per Zone in Edit Setup Mode. Each Zone of a Setup has

its own controller assignments.
