MIDI DATA MONITOR
The MULTIVERB ALPHA 2.0 has 2 MIDI features collectively called "MIDI DATA
MONITORing". These include the Performance MIDI(tm) Data Monitor, referred to as
[DM] and the MIDI EVENT MONITOR, referred to as [MEM].
PERFORMANCE MIDI Data Monitor [DM]
This Data Monitor allows a user, while viewing a Performance MIDI (PM) controller's definition under Edit Mode, to see the data associated with the MIDI event selected to control an effect's parameter unaltered. A user having selected
MOD WHEEL to control reverb decay time can optionally see the MOD WHEEL values themselves without having it affect reverb decay time. This feature serves as a
MIDI setup debugging tool. You can determine if the MOD WHEEL is in fact being seen by the unit.
Enter DM Mode while in Edit Mode, press the Param button and go to the screen displaying [#1 IS CONTROLING] in the top half. Press the Value button, and turn the Encoder left until the display reads [MIDI dataMONITOR] on the bottom. Press the Param button and move the Encoder one click to the right, the screen defines the MIDI controller used in the preset. Move the Encoder one click to the right,
[#n DATA IS ] is displayed. This line will show the actual data value associated with the selected MIDI event, as they are received. The space after
"DATA IS" stays blank until the unit receives the selected event. The bottom line is identical to the 2nd window bottom line and you are able to select MIDI events in this window by using the Value button and the Encoder, without having to go back to the 2nd window. Whenever a new MIDI event is selected under DM, the portion of the window that displays the actual value is blanked until the new
MIDI event data is received.

MIDI EVENT MONITOR [MEM]
The MIDI EVENT data MONITORING MODE (MEM) feature is one of the parameters available while in MIDI Mode. This mode shows the user an "English-ed" version of certain MIDI events as they occur, regardless of MIDI channel. The information displayed shows the type of MIDI event and its attributes with a choice of display formats, called "English-ed" or "Raw Data". Each of these formats offers a choice of display numeric info in either decimal or hexadecimal (base 16, the format for experienced MIDI users).
To select the Event Monitor, enter Edit Mode then MIDI Mode. Press the Param button and use the Encoder to select [MIDI EVENT data MONITORING MODE].

The unit is now ready to display the following of MIDI Events:
MIDI CONTROLLERS:
All, 0 thru 120 ( MOD WHEEL, MIDI CONTROLLER #001 etc).
34
CHANNEL VOICE events:
NOTE ON, NOTE OFF: Actual note names and accidental (Sharp only) shown.
POLYPHONIC AFTERTOUCH (Note names and accidental).
CHANNEL PRESSURE AFTER TOUCH
PITCH BEND CHANGE
Other MIDI events monitored:
PROGRAM CHANGE
MEM does NOT monitor:
System Exclusive messages
Channel Mode messages (All Notes Off etc.)
Real Time messages (Timing Clock)
System Common messages (MIDI Time Code)
Each MIDI event is displayed depending on which display mode is active. The default display mode is "English-ed" decimal. Using the VALUE Up/Down keys will move through the two display modes (with two numeric formats each). The latest event is reformatted accordingly. In the case of NOTE ON/OFF and POLYPHONIC
AFTERTOUCH events, the musical note associated with the event has its note name displayed next to the numeric value of the note.

NOTES:
1) The only accidental displayed is the sharp, "#".
2) PROGRAM CHANGE events: The actual program number specified in the event is a
0-origin number and will be displayed as such, consistent with the unit's display of program numbers under the MIDI PROGRAM TABLE MIDI menu item. A MIDI program change event to program #5 is actually a message to go to (excluding mapping via
MIDI PROGRAM TABLE) to program #6!
