JUBILATE 235 - 245
The only difference between the jack panel of the models Jubilate 230 and 232 and the one of
Jubilate 235 and 245 is the addition of the Coupler of the Memory Pedal switch.
6. COUPLER TO MEMORY PEDAL: If the button is pressed, recalling one particular memory
on the GREAT manual, a particular memory with the same number in the pedalboard will be
activated. This coupler function is not reversible so that recalling one particular memory in the
pedalboard section, it will not enable the corrisponding particular memory on the GREAT manual.
MIDI stands for "Musical Instrument Digital Interface". This is a language which allows
electronic musical instruments, even of different types and by different manufacturers, to converse
together or with a computer. They can exchange a whole series of data by means of a strict and
detailed protocol. In this way it is possible to obtain different functions from the devices connected
together without the need for manual intervention.
Electronic musical instruments equipped with MIDI are linked together by one or more 5-pin DIN
connectors, known as MIDI connectors. There are usually three different sockets on an instrument
and they are the following:
- MIDI IN: The instrument can receive MIDI data from other units at this socket.
- MIDI OUT: This socket is used to send any MIDI data generated by the instrument to other units.
- MIDI THRU: This socket, used to chain together a series of units, transmits exactly the same
MIDI data received at the MIDI IN port.
Here is a glossary of the most frequently used terms in the MIDI vocabulary.
• MIDI Channel: MIDI uses 16 channels. All the various data can be transmitted separately on
these 16 channels. Even though all the data is sent to the receiving instrument, it will only
reproduce the data sent on the MIDI channel it has been set to receive.
• Note On/Off: this is important information as it tells the instrument which notes to play, when,
for how long and with what dynamics.
• Program Change: used to select a program. Most instruments have a certain number of memo-
rised programs all corresponding to a given program number. If we know the number assigned
to a given memory we can select the program we want.
• Control change: these messages are usually used to add expression to a performance. This
category includes volume messages (Control Change no.7), activating the loud pedal (c.c. no.64),
amount of reverb send (c.c. no.91), amount of Chorus send (c.c. no.93), etc.
• System messages: these are messages which are not dependent on a given MIDI channel as
they are designed to control the whole system. Among these we find messages known as «system
exclusive» or rather instructions that can only be interpreted by a particular type of instrument,
