Each keyswitch note-on needs to have a matching note-off, to avoid being misinterpreted and possibly blocked by the DAW or other environment. To this end, a zero-velocity note-on follows immediately. To bend note nn on channel c to note mm with bend of yyzz would take up to 4 note-on messages and 4 note-off messages. In hexadecimal the midi looks like this:

(//There may be an additional "ultra-fine bend" message added - Ed.//)

The G9 keyswitch with velocity 1 resets the tuning of all notes. On receiving this message, the synth should reset all notes on that channel back to standard tuning. To reset all notes on channel c:

Because note-ons with velocity zero are interpreted as note-offs, a message conveying a zero value for the note or the bend must be transmitted via the G9 keyswitch, using velocities 2 through 5, like so:

To reset an individual note nn on channel c to standard pitch (assuming nn &gt; 0), and using running status. Note that in this example, the G9 keyswitch with a velocity of 5 indicates "end of tuning message":

To set a switchable multi-timbral synth to mono-tunable mode or multi-tunable mode:

Robert Walker has written a Kontakt script that implements this method for most Kontakt instruments. The script is still in beta: [[@http://robertinventor.com/ftswiki/High_numbered_keyswitches_retuning]]
