Section 6: Sampling and editing sounds 151
NOTE 2: A large number of these mix change events can cause minor
slowing of playback due to the large processing requirement. To reduce
the number of these events, increase the MINIMUM CHANGE field's
setting for these event types (in the MIDI INPUT FILTER screen) to as high
a number as acceptable before recording mix changes. This will "thin-out"
the mix data, lessening the processing requirement.
NOTE 3: As with any other mid-sequence control changes, these mix
changes only take effect when played in a sequence. This means if you
play a section of a sequence containing a specific controller event, the last
played value of that controller will remain until another occurrence of the
same controller is played, even if you stop the sequence and start playing
it from another location. Because of this, whenever you use one of these
events within a sequence, it is important to insert another event of the
same type at the beginning of the sequence to set the controller to an
initial value.
NOTE 4: The RCRD LIVE CHNGS field for the stereo mix will only appear
if the STEREO MIX field is set to SEQUENCE. If set to MASTER, the field
disappears is internally forced to NO. The same rule applies to the echo
mixer.
The HIHAT DECAY SWITCH THRESHOLDS section:
The HIHAT is unique among the other drums in that one of three
sounds is played depending on the setting of the HIHAT DECAY slider:
1. A closed hihat sound;
2. A medium decay sound; and
3. An open hihat sound.
These two fields determine the thresholds which separate the three
regions. The range for each is 0 to 127, since this is the output range of
the hihat decay slider. The default setting for CLOSED/MEDIUM is 42;
the default setting for MEDIUM/OPEN is 110.
The "OTHER" section:
There are two fields in this section:
• The CONTROLLER NUMBER FOR HIHAT DECAY field: This field is used
to assign which of the 127 midi controller numbers is used to transmit
and receive hihat decay data. For example, to controller the hihat decay
from a keyboard modulation wheel, set it
