Section 3 — MIDI Control Page Parameters TS-10 Musician’s Manual

Suppose for example, you are playing the TS-10 from a keyboard with a breath controller (or

want to use a breath controller as a modulator when playing the TS-10 keyboard). You can set up

a program on the TS-10 in which the filter cutoff frequency is modulated by XCTRL. If you then

set XCTRL=02, the breath controller will now be able to modulate the filter, or whatever else has

its modulation source set to XCTRL, in the program you have created.

The following controller numbers are commonly supported:

Number Controller Number Controller

1 Modulation Wheel 64 Sustain

2 Breath Controller 66 Sostenuto

4 Foot Pedal 70 Sound Variation (Patch Selects)

6 Data Entry MSB 71 Harmonic Content (Timbre)

7 Volume 72 Release Time

10 Pan 73 Attack Time

12 Effect Modulation 74 Brightness

• Press MIDI Control again. The display shows the second sub-page:

LOOP Range: OFF or ON

The MIDI LOOP parameter controls how volume information is handled when a track’s status is

set to LOCAL-OFF or MIDI-LOOP. It controls whether or not the Track MIX parameter, as

adjusted in the Track Parameter section, will transmit via MIDI. It only affects tracks that have

their MIDI status set to LOCAL-OFF or MIDI-LOOP. It is normally OFF, but in a MIDI loop

setup, it should be ON.

• OFF — This is the default setting. When changes are made to the Track MIX parameter (on

tracks with STATUS=LOCAL-OFF or MIDI-LOOP), or when the volume pedal is moved, the

TS-10 will transmit MIDI volume (controller 7) messages that combine the Track MIX setting

with the current setting of the volume pedal.

• ON — The TS-10 will not transmit changes made to the Track MIX parameter on tracks with

STATUS=LOCAL-OFF or MIDI-LOOP. Volume pedal changes will be transmitted directly

and are unaffected by the MIX setting.

When LOOP=OFF, then the MIX parameter is combined (multiplied) with the volume pedal

setting to create a composite volume, which is then transmitted to external sound modules as

MIDI controller 7. In a MIDI loop situation with a computer, this is undesirable, because

lowering the MIX value will send controller messages that are indistinguishable from volume

pedal messages. When this information is echoed by the computer, the TS-10 receives it as

volume pedal, lowering the volume on that track even further. Eventually this causes the volume

to spiral down to zero, which in turn causes the track to be silenced, even though the displayed

volume setting is greater than zero. Setting LOOP=ON will prevent this problem from occurring.

Note that the volume pedal is only active if PEDAL=VOL on the System page, and that volume

pedal changes will always be transmitted as MIDI volume (controller 7).
