[. . . ] Then you can "solo" over that without fear of changing chords. Also, in full keyboard mode, if chord hold is ON, a chordal backing is playing, and you play an "unknown" chord, the backing will not change. New MIDI Features (overview) These new features are useful if you are using the Mark 150/10 as a sound engine with an external sequencer, or if you are using the internal recorder to play back Standard MIDI files (SMF). Registered parameters for Transposition, Tuning, and Pitch Bend Range are recognized. Note that the Pitch Bend Range parameter only works if the Mark 150/10 is in General MIDI mode. 910241 1 Version 2. 0 Release Notes for Kurzweil Mark 150/10 & Young Chang DG 150 New Standard MIDI File and General MIDI File Load Features Standard MIDI files, including General MIDI files, have the following enhanced features: You can now tell if the Mark 150/10 is in General MIDI mode. [. . . ] Version 2 software further increases the instruments' MIDI capabilities, as described in the following sections. New MIDI Edit Features The following keys have been added or changed in the MIDI Edit section. This key will tell you the current version of Mark 150/ 10 software that has been installed in your instrument. If a song is selected when GM mode is turned on, GM mode will be stored in the song. To erase this, simply turn off GM mode while the song is still selected. Any time that a song is un-selected or a new song is selected, GM mode will be turned off. The key will tell you, in kilobytes, how much memory is left in the Mark 150/10 for loading of songs and styles. When the Mark 150/10 has been reset and has no songs or styles loaded, the number is 108 kilobytes. This key lets you dump songs, styles, or panel memories via MIDI system exclusive messages. When you press C7 while in MIDI mode, the available song, style, and panel memory buttons will blink. When you press the button representing the item you want, the others will stop blinking and the dump will take place. These users can store songs into their sequencers as system exclusive messages, and later dump them back into the Mark 150/10 for playback using the Mark 150/10's recorder. Most people do not need this feature, since the Mark 150/10 can also transfer songs to an external sequencer by playing them (using the Transmit Sequencer Data parameter), or by saving them to floppy disk. In the manual, it says that setting this parameter to Off may cause problems with the auto accompaniment section of the Mark 150/10. This behavior has been changed, and auto accompaniment will now work correctly with the parameter set to either ON or OFF. New MIDI Features (detail) 1. The MIDI implementation chart in the manual says that this was implemented in Version 1. 0, when in fact it was not. This has been added for better General MIDI support, but it works in all modes. Valid song numbers are 0 through 7, which would select Mark 10 sequences 1 through 8. This only responds if external sync is turned on. 910241 3 Version 2. 0 Release Notes for Kurzweil Mark 150/10 & Young Chang DG 150 MIDI Enhancements 5.
