Alesis Cadenza Midi Function

Unfortunately, the Alesis Cadenza doesn't have a dedicated function to precisely turn MIDI Out on and off. Here's why and some workarounds:

Why MIDI Out Can't Be Directly Disabled

Design: The Cadenza is primarily designed to send MIDI data out to control other devices or software. Turning off MIDI Out completely would defeat a core purpose of the keyboard.

Workarounds:

Disconnect the MIDI Cable: The most straightforward way to stop any MIDI data from leaving the Cadenza is to physically unplug the MIDI Out cable.

Filtering on the Receiving Device: If you must keep the cable connected, investigate if the device or software receiving the MIDI data has filtering options. You may be able to:

Ignore specific MIDI messages from the Cadenza (like note on/off messages)

Filter by MIDI channel, effectively ignoring the Cadenza if it's transmitting on a different channel.

Utilize Local Control: Many keyboards, potentially including the Cadenza, have a "Local Control" setting. This has the following effect:

Local Control Off: The keyboard's key presses won't produce sound from its internal sound engine, BUT MIDI data is still sent out.

Local Control On: The typical mode. Key presses produce sound and send MIDI out.

To Find 'Local Control' Options (if available):

User Manual: Consult the Alesis Cadenza's manual. Search for keywords like "Local Control" or "MIDI settings."

On-Screen Menus: Explore menus on the keyboard's display screen if it has one. Look under settings relating to MIDI or system configuration.

Let me know if you want help exploring any of these options in more detail!
