After MIDI exclusive data has been received and processed,
a Data Load Completed message will be transmitted. The
control master device must not transmit the next message
until this message is received (or until a sufficient interval of
time has elapsed).
When you change programs or combinations, or use param-
eter changes to edit, the changes will affect the data in the
edit buffer and will not be stored in internal memory unless
you Write, so that the changes will be lost if you re-select the
program or combination. The Write operation can be per-
formed by a MIDI exclusive Program Write Request or Com-
bination Write Request message, in addition to the usual
method of using this instrument’s switches. (

“Saving data”)
It is not necessary to write a song, but it will not be backed
up when the power is turned off. If you wish to keep the
data, save it on external media before turning the power.
(
☞BG p.40 “Saving on floppy disk”)
If notes are “stuck”
If for some reason, notes become “stuck” and will not stop
sounding, you can usually stop the sound by changing the
mode. If notes played via MIDI are stuck, you can discon-
nect the MIDI cable.
MIDI transmits a message called Active Sensing [FE] at reg-
ular intervals. A device that receives this message will be
aware that an external MIDI device is transmitting to it. Sub-
sequently, if no MIDI messages are received for a certain
interval of time, the receiving device will decide that the
connection has been broken, and will turn off any notes that
had been sounded via MIDI and reset its controller values.
Playing this instrument multi-timbrally from
an external device
This instrument can be connected to an external device and
played multi-timbrally in the following ways.
• MIDI messages from the external device can play a
combination (8-part multi-timbral performance). You
can change the overall settings (programs, levels, and
effects) by using program change messages to switch
combinations.
• MIDI messages from the external device can be used to
play a song (16-part multi-timbral performance).
Overall settings (programs, levels, effects etc.) can be
changed by using a Song Select message to switch
songs. (Song Select messages can be received if “MIDI
Clock”: GLOBAL 2.1–1a is set to External.)
• MIDI Clock messages from the external device can be
used to make this instrument playback a song (set
“MIDI Clock” to External, and run this instrument’s
sequencer). (
☞“Synchronizing the playback of the
KARMA function or sequencer”) You can change the
overall settings (programs, levels, effects) by using song
select messages to switch songs.
Synchronizing the playback of the KARMA
function or sequencer
The choice of whether this instrument will be the master
(the controlling device) or the slave (the controlled device) is
made by “MIDI Clock” (GLOBAL 2.1–1a).
Using this instrument as master and the external
MIDI device as slave
Connect the MIDI OUT connector of this instrument to the
MIDI IN connector of the external MIDI device. (
☞p.245)
• When you set “MIDI Clock” to Internal, this instrument
will be the master device, and will transmit MIDI timing
clock messages.
KARMA function: The tempo can be controlled from
this instrument. Simultaneously, the performance of the
KARMA function will be transmitted via MIDI. (In Com-
bination, Sequencer, and Song Play modes, data will be
transmitted by timbres/tracks whose “Status” is BTH,
EXT
, or EX2.) An external tone generator connected to
MIDI OUT will sound, and the tempo of an external
sequencer can be controlled.
Sequencer: The musical data can be played back and
controlled on this instrument. Simultaneously, the
sequencer playback will be transmitted via MIDI from
tracks whose “Status” is BTH, EXT, or EX2. An external
tone generator connected to MIDI OUT will sound, and
the tempo of an external sequencer can be controlled.
However, since exclusive data cannot be recorded onthis
instrument’s sequencer, you can use the “Dump
Sequencer” (GLOBAL 2.1–1c) utility menu command if
the slave device is this instrument. If the slave device is
another model, you can use this instrument’s Disk mode
data filer function (“Receive and Save MIDI Exclusive,”
“Load and Transmit MIDI Exclusive Data”).
Using the external MIDI device as master and this
instrument as slave
Connect this instrument’s MIDI IN connector to the MIDI
OUT connector of the external MIDI device. (
☞p.245).
• When you set “MIDI Clock” (GLOBAL 2.1–1a) to
External , this instrument will be the slave device.
KARMA function: The tempo will follow the MIDI tim-
ing clock. If you playback the external sequencer, this
instrument’s KARMA function will synchronize to the
external timing clock. (
☞BG p.88)
Even if “MIDI Clock” is External and this instrument is
being controlled from the external device, the perfor-
mance of the KARMA function will still be transmitted
via MIDI. (In Combination and Sequencer modes, the
KARMA function will be transmitted from timbres/
tracks whose “Status” is BTH, EXT, or EX2.)
Sequencer: The tempo will follow the MIDI timing clock.
You can play back an external sequencer, and synchro-
nize the sequencer to the MIDI timing clock that it trans-
mits. Even if “MIDI Clock” is set to External and this
instrument is being controlled from an external device,
musical data will be transmitted by tracks whose “Sta-
tus” is BTH, EXT, or EX2.
Even if “MIDI Clock” is set to External and this instru-
ment is being controlled from an external device, musical
data will be transmitted by tracks whose “Status” is
BTH
, EXT, or EX2.
