MIDI Mode 4 with G2M

Post by BertAnt »

I've read in the G2M MIDI Implementation Chart, that it transmits MIDI Mode 4 by default. But after trying it with my Korg X5 i found out that it seems that X5 is still in other mode than Mode 4, as the envelope got retriggered everytime i slide/bend more than 2 semitones, while from what i know in Mode 4 new note on doesn't retrigger the envelope if it comes from slide/bend. Is the MIDI receiver has to be set manually for it to recognizes the Mode 4 ? Or is there something i need to know about the Mode 4 ? Thank you very much.

The G2M doesn't actually transmit a mode change message. MODE 4 in the MIDI implementation chart is essentially a suggestion as to how to configure the receiver because the G2M is basically a MONO device.

Thanks John ! Now that i'm sure about it, i have to check the X5 manual to find out how to configure it so it will work in Mono Mode.
