MIDI RX Channel (MIDI Receive Channel) 1–16
fig.09-03
This sets the MIDI channel used for receiving MIDI
messages.
* This is set to “1” when shipped from the factory.
MIDI Omni Mode Omni Off, Omni On
fig.09-04
When set to “Omni On,” messages are received on all
channels, regardless of the MIDI channel settings.
* Even when Omni Mode is set to ON, the only Exclusive
messages received are for Device ID data set with “Device
ID.”
* This is set to “Omni On” when shipped from the factory.
MIDI TX Channel (MIDI Transmit Channel)
1–16, Rx
fig.09-05
This sets the MIDI Transmit channel used for transmitting
MIDI messages. When set to “Rx,” this MIDI channel is same
as the MIDI Receive channel.
* This is set to “Rx” when shipped from the factory.
MIDI Device ID 1–32
fig.09-06
This sets the Device ID used for transmitting and receiving
Exclusive messages.
* This is set to “1” when shipped from the factory.
MIDI Sync Clock Auto, Internal
fig.09-07
You can synchronize the performance of a sequencer or other
external MIDI device.
Auto: When the MIDI Clock of the external MIDI device
is not being received, the performance is
synchronized to the tempo set in MASTER BPM;
when the external MIDI device’s MIDI Clock is
being received, the performance is synchronized
to that.
Internal: The performance is synchronized to the tempo set
in MASTER BPM.
* This is set to “Auto” when shipped from the factory.
* When you have an external MIDI device connected, the
Master BPM is then synchronized to the external MIDI
device's tempo, thus disabling the Master BPM setting. To
enable setting of the Master BPM, set to “Internal.”
* When synchronizing performances to the MIDI Clock signal
from an external MIDI device, timing problems in the
performance may occur due to errors in the MIDI Clock.
