MC 3000
Operating Manual
In a similar way to the choice of the port to be monitored, the MC 3000 also allows the
user to select the type of MIDI message to be monitored.
When function key F6 is pressed, word inside the relative icon rectangle changes:
• When it contains the word ALL, all the MIDI data are displayed in the MIDI MONITOR.
• At this point, if F6 is pressed the word NOTE appears in the rectangle, and the monitor
will only display the note messages.
• If F6 is pressed again, PG will appear in the rectangle and only program change
messages will appear in the monitor.
• If F6 is pressed again, CG will appear in the rectangle and only control change
messages will appear in the monitor.
• If F6 is pressed again, SYS will appear in the rectangle and only exclusive system
messages will appear in the monitor.
If F6 is pressed once more, the word ALL appears again in the rectangle, and so all the
MIDI data will be displayed in the MIDI MONITOR again.
In practice, the MC 3000 MIDI MONITOR has such flexibility in use that the user can
switch from total monitoring where all MIDI data of any kind entering and leaving all the
instrument's MIDI ports are displayed simultaneously, to extremely specific monitoring
where on a specific type of MIDI message passing through just one specific port of his
choice is displayed.
The MIDI MONITOR which appears in the centre of the display consists of 5 columns.
The events displayed scroll from the bottom to the top of the display, so new events are
added in the low part of the monitor while the older ones scroll upwards until they
disappear.
• The MIDI channel of the message monitored appears in the first column on the right.
• The type of event displayed is described in the second column.
• The data relating to the type of event are shown in the third and fourth columns. (In
case of note messages, the data relating to the note number and the key velocity are
shown in the third and fourth columns respectively; in case of a program change, only
the number appears in the third column; in case of a control change, the number and
the value appear in the third and fourth columns respectively; in case of an exclusive
code message, the video page changes and if the whole message will not fit onto one
line, an icon appears in the top right-hand corner of the display).
The last column on the right is kept for additional comments, which in case of note
messages consist of the name of the note monitored.
The first function key F1 next to the rectangle marked DEC allows the user to choose
between data display in decimal mode DEC or hexadecimal mode HEX. When F1 is
pressed, HEX appears in the rectangle and all messages except the comment messages
appear in hexadecimal mode; when F1 is pressed again, the word DEC appears in the
rectangle again and all the messages switch back to decimal mode.
Key F2, next to the icon rectangle marked HOLD is used to block display of the latest
events. Once this key has been pressed, the system provides a static view of the situation
at that moment, while none of the data which continue to pass through the MC 3000 are
shown.
2 rectangles appear beside the HOLD icon next to function keys F4 and F5, each marked
with a rectangle.
The arrow next to key F4 carries a rectangle pointing down, indicating that F54 can be
pressed to scroll downwards, displaying the more and more recent data one by one. The
