Hi Jan and David,

This works for the internal sounds, but it does NOT prevent the AT messages from being sent via MIDI. In other words, the Control Matrix only decides how much the modulated settings will respond to MIDI AT (or the internal equivalent); it doesn't change how strong the level of MIDI AT data is at the MIDI Out jack.

I actually have only owned one keyboard that allowed the AT level to be changed: my old Roland D-50, which had a slider for AT level. I'm sure there are other examples, but on the whole, this kind of function is pretty rare. Most keyboards just send the raw AT data, and let the other end decide whether or not to use the information.

Regards,

-BW
