Manuale italiano-inglese Oberheim-Viscount MC3000 - Synth Zone

MC 3000
Operating Manual
The top of the display shows a reminder of the selected operating mode (and of the
section (CONTROL CHANNEL).
The central window contains the individual specific parameters, which refer to:
• 1. The number of the input port (PORT), which is recognized as specific port for the
control channel (IN1, IN2, IN1+2).
• 2. The number of the MIDI channel (CHANNEL), which is recognized as control
channel (1-16), provided it is received from the port specified previously.
• 3. The DISPLAY MESSAGES function, which displays the messages transmitted by
other units to the master on its control channel. If this function is set as YES, whenever
our instrument receives messages from remote units on its overall channel through the
port specified in point 1, a window indicating the type of message received will appear
in the TOP PAGE video page.
To modify these parameters, the user must select the parameter to be changed using the
cursor keys and then modify its value using the data input devices (Encoder, INC/DEC
keys or number keypad).
N.B. Since the MC-3000 does not have an internal sound generation system, the
messages it interprets are limited to Program Change, Bank select (patch selection), and
Exclusive bulk dump systems. If any control change other than Bank select is sent on the
MIDI control channel, it is interpreted as a system control and therefore redistributed on all
the zones active at that moment.
6.2.3 MIDI FILTER (FLT)
Function key 2 (icon FLT) can be pressed from the CONTROL CHANNEL page or from
any other page of the common sector for access to the MIDI FILTER page.
In this page the user can set which type of messages reaching the MIDI IN ports are to be
filtered.
Filtering a message means ensuring that it will be suppressed in the reception
phase
If we look at the window in the centre of the video page, we can note a table consisting of
two lines which specify the MIDI input port (IN 1 and IN 2) ad 4 columns corresponding to
the types of message filtered by the MC-3000. The cursor keys can be used to move
around inside the table, while the data entering devices allow the user to activate (ON
condition) or disactivate (OFF) the filter for the corresponding port and type of message.
Caution: When the filter is active (ON) the corresponding message will be
suppressed.
