You can select which MIDI messages the EMX-1

The characters “PCEN” correspond to four types
of message whose status is indicated by an “O” or
“X” in the value display. If you want a category of
message to be transmitted/received, set its status
to “O.” If you don't want that category of message
to be transmitted/received, set its status to “X.”
Turn the dial to select “O” or “X” for each category
of message.

You can assign a MIDI note number (as a note

sound simultaneously when controlled from an
external MIDI device.

want to assign.
5. The parameter display will show the name of the
selected drum part, and the value display will in-
dicate the corresponding number.
Turn the dial to select the desired note number. For
each drum part that you want to assign, repeat the
steps of selecting the drum part and then selecting
a note number.
