Settings Common to All Modes (System Function)

MTC Error Level

Determines how often the reception status is checked when MTC is
being received from an external device. Stop synchronization if a
problem becomes apparent with the check.

Value: 0–10 (the checking interval will be longer for larger values)

In strict terms, the lower the numerical value set, the more
accurate the check is. However, playback may be stopped overly
frequently if too rigorous a check is made, and this soon becomes
inconvenient. By raising the Error Level setting, then even if
problems with the reception of MTC do occur, synchronization
can then continue as long as such problems remain at a level that
does not cause undue problems.

Metronome

Specifies when you want the metronome to sound.

* If there is a check mark next to [7 (Click)] in the Tempo window, which

appears when you press [TEMPO], the metronome will always sound.

Value

PLAY ONLY: Will sound only during playback.

REC ONLY: Metronome will sound only for recording.

PLAY&REC: Metronome will sound for playback and recording.

MIDI

Device ID (Device ID Number)

When you want to transmit or receive System Exclusive messages,
set this parameter to match the Device ID number of the other MIDI
device.

Value: 17–32

Performance Control Channel

Performance Ctrl Ch selects the MIDI receive channel used during
switching of performances when MIDI messages (Program Change/
Bank Select) are sent from an external MIDI device. Set this to “OFF”
if performances are not to be switched from an external MIDI device.

Value: 1–16, OFF

If only a program change is received, and if the Performance Ctrl
Ch parameter setting coincides with the MIDI receive channel of
a part, priority will be given to switching the performance.

Kbd Patch Rx/Tx Ch

Specifies the channel used to transmit and receive MIDI messages
for the Keyboard part in Patch mode.

Value: 1–16

Soft Through (Soft Through Switch)

connector to the MIDI OUT connector without modifying them in
any way. Normally you’ll leave this “OFF,” but when using an
external sequencer, you should set it “ON.”

Value: OFF, ON
