uA Word About What MIDI Can Do

The letters MIDI stand for Musical Instrument Digital Interface. MIDI is an international standard for

allowing electronic musical instruments equipped with MIDI capability to exchange performance

information. For example, a synthesizer can be used to communicate with a drum machine, an electronic

piano can interface with a computer, and so forth. Additionally, since MIDI is an international standard

recognized and implemented by all musical instrument manufacturers worldwide, instruments made by

different manufacturers can communicate with each other via MIDI.

uMIDI Connections

tMIDI IN and MIDI OUT

In order to allow communication to take place, all MIDI-equipped instruments have at least two MIDI

jacks - MIDI IN and MIDI OUT. MIDI IN is for receiving MIDI data from another instrument, while MIDI

OUT is for sending MIDI data out to another instrument.

In the example above, the keyboard(s) of the sending or transmitting instrument (MIDI OUT) are being

used to control the sound generators of the receiving instrument (MIDI IN). When a key is played on the

sending instrument, the corresponding note will play on the receiving instrument as though the

appropriate key had been pressed on the receiving instruments's keyboard. When the key is released on

the sending instrument, the tone being played by the receiving instrument will stop. (This is called "Note

On / Note Off" data.) The instrument receiving the MIDI data is called a MIDI secondary and the sending

instrument is called the MIDI controller. This is the most basic MIDI hookup.

The above is an example of two-way communication between two MIDI-equipped devices. In this

example, the keyboard(s) of either instrument can be used to control the sound generators of the other.

NOTE: In some MIDI tutorials, you may also see references to Main and Secondary or Source and

Destination.

uAudio and MIDI Connections

tExample: A synthesizer

If you connect the MIDI OUT jack of the SK PRO to the MIDI IN jack on the synthesizer and the

synthesizer's LINE OUTPUT jack to the organ's LINE IN jack, you can play both instruments simultaneously

from the SK PRO keyboard.

tExample: A sound module

Note that the LINE OUT or AUDIO OUT signal connection is made to an external amplifier. The LINE OUT

audio connection from the module, of course, could also be connected to the LINE IN of the SK-PRO.

You are now in the MIDI FUNCTION Mode. You may now use the DIRECTION and PAGE buttons

in conjunction with the VALUE knob to change the MIDI performance of your SK PRO. This is

explained starting below.

uHow MIDI Works on the SK PRO:

The SK PRO can function in a large variety of MIDI environments. In addition to transmitting basic MIDI

information such as Note On/Note Off and Note Velocity, the SK PRO also can transmit Program Changes,

Control Changes, NRPN and System Exclusive (SyxEx) codes.

It is also possible to use the SK PRO as a MIDI Master or Controller Keyboard for layering or multi-timbral

(playing more than one sound at the same time) applications. The following paragraphs explain this in

more detail.

tINTERNAL ZONES

The internal sounds of the instrument - both Drawbars and Extra Voices - will play on what are called the

Internal Zones. The Internal Zones transmit Note On/Note Off and Velocity data from the UPPER, LOWER

and PEDAL Parts. These channels will both send (MIDI OUT) and receive (MIDI IN) data, and are

therefore used when recording and playing back sequences.

NOTE: The UPPER Channel, in addition to Note On/Note Off and Velocity, also is used for transmitting

Controller data.

tEXTERNAL ZONES

The External Zone Channels allow you to use the SK PRO as a MIDI Master or Controller Keyboard.

These allow you to play additional sounds from another MIDI instrument such as a sound module. The

External Zones transmit but do not receive MIDI data - in other words, they are MIDI OUT only.

There are three (3) External Zone Channels which can be assigned to the UPPER, LOWER or PEDAL Parts.

In addition, different configurations can be saved to different Patches - for example, one Patch can have all

three External Zones assigned to UPPER, another Patch can have one External Zone each for UPPER,

LOWER and PEDAL, etc.

The Internal and External Channels of the instrument are referred to as Zones. The features available for

the Zones are found in the ZONE Edit Menu. This is explained fully starting on page 20.

tTEMPLATE

What Is a “MIDI Template?”

Because MIDI can be used with such a wide variety of devices - such as synthesizers, sound modules,

sequencers, etc. - there are a number of features associated with MIDI, such as Program Change,

Controller Change, etc., that allow each MIDI setup to be optimized for the best results in each

application. However, making all of these settings manually can be quite time-consuming and error-

prone.

Therefore, your SK PRO contains a number of pre-formatted settings for the various MIDI parameters

which represent the most ideal settings for each MIDI environment. A group of these settings is called a

MIDI Template.

This Parameter Menu Page allows you to select the MIDI Template you want to use.

Use the VALUE knob to see the various Template settings.

When you have made your selection, Press the ENTER button. The MIDI parameters will be set

according to the Template you selected.

IMPORTANT NOTE: For a complete listing of the MIDI Templates for the SK PRO, consult the next

two pages. In addition to the specific Parameter settings, the chart also contains explanations for the

performing environment each Template is designed for. Therefore please read the descriptions carefully to

determine the best setting for your particular setup.

MIDI 9

From the screen shown on page 492, press the PAGE “u” button once. The GENERAL FUNCTION

Mode Page should now display.

tGENERAL

This Page allows you to set the MIDI Parameters which affect how the entire instrument will function in a

MIDI environment. It consists of several screens.

NOTE: This is separate from General MIDI, which is explained in the Appendix starting on page 601

Use the DIRECTION “p” and “q” buttons to move up and down among the various screens.

MIDI IN MODE

This Parameter allows you to set how incoming MIDI data (external MIDI device connected via the MIDI

IN port) is handled. The data chart below shows the options you may select.

MIDI IN jack options

Setting Description

Upper /

Lower /

Pedal

Incoming MIDI data will sound the Sections allocated to the (UPPER / LOWER /

PEDAL) keyboard ignoring the MIDI Channel, and is re-transmitted to both MIDI OUT

and USB-MIDI.

Upper + Pedal / Lower +

Pedal

Incoming MIDI data will sound the Sections allocated to (UPPER + PEDAL / LOWER +

PEDAL) keyboards on the assigned MIDI Channels, and is re-transmitted to both MIDI

OUT and USB MIDI.

Organ Upper / Piano /

Ensemble /

Synth

Incoming MIDI data plays the selected Voice Section. Data is not retransmitted.

Sequence Incoming MIDI data plays UPPER, LOWER and PEDAL parts, but is not retransmitted.

NOTE: The ORGAN Section will play from an UPPER Keyboard only.

NOTE: The SPLIT does not function when the MIDI IN mode is set at “Upper / Lower,” “Lower + Pedal”

or “Upper + Pedal”

Turn the VALUE knob to make your selection.

MIDI10

From the screen shown on the previous page, press the DIRECTION “q” button once.

The box to the right of “LOCAL” should be highlighted.

LOCAL - MIDI Local Control

This Parameter allows you to turn Local Control "ON" or "OFF.” When Local Control is "ON,” the SK PRO

will play both its internal sounds and the sounds from a connected MIDI device. When Local Control is

"OFF,” the SK PRO will play only the sounds from a connected MIDI device (synthesizer, sound module,

Digital Audio Workstation or hardware sequencer) and the SK PRO's internal sounds are silenced.

NOTE: Even if LOCAL is “ON,” MIDI messages sent from an external MIDI device to the SK PRO will play.

Turn the VALUE knob to turn LOCAL “ON” or “OFF.”

From the above screen, press the DIRECTION “q” button once.

The box to the right of “NRPN” should be highlighted.

MIDI NRPN

This Parameter allows you to turn NRPN "ON" or "OFF.”

What Is “NPRN?”

"NRPN,” or Non-Registered Parameter Number, is an expanded control change message, each function of

which is implemented differently by different manufacturers. The Hammond SK PRO uses NRPN to

control parameters such as Percussion 2nd and 3rd Harmonic ON/OFF, Vibrato or Chorus ON/OFF, etc.

Most of the buttons on the SK PRO have NRPN Controller numbers assigned to them When NRPN is

“ON,” NRPN codes are transmitted and received along with other MIDI data. When NRPN is “OFF,” NRPN

codes will not be transmitted or received but other MIDI data such as Note On/Note Off, Note Velocity,

etc. will continue to be transmitted and received..

NOTE: To see a complete list of all NRPN codes transmitted and recognized by the SK PRO, consult the

APPENDIX.

Turn the VALUE knob to turn NRPN “ON” or “OFF.”
