Re: [LAU] Question on Active Sensing message.

The world is small.
How interesting!

Let me explain, what I wish to accomplish.
All my previous keyboards and MIDI equipment use Active Sensing.
Keystation does not.
It does not even use running protocol.
In example, when I play a C-major chord, I would normally expect a
keyboard to send this: 144 60 100 64 100 67 100
Keystation sends this instead: 144 60 100 144 64 100 144 67 100
(of course assuming the velocity was 100)

So, the bottom line is: Keystation "speaks strange".
The manual does not even include MIDI Implementation Chart, so there is
no document to consult with.

I like Keystation very very much.
It just "speaks strange".
Otherwise it is great and feels good.

I was just wondering if there is anyone else, who has Keystation and can
observe the same MIDI communication (because there are no documents to
double-check).

Thank you, guys, for all your comments and help.

Kind regards,

Robert
