RX Channel (Receive Channel)
Valid Settings: 1–16
fig.08-040d
This sets the MIDI channel used for receiving MIDI
messages.
* This is set to “1” when shipped from the factory.
Omni Mode
Valid Settings: Omni Off, Omni On
fig.08-050d
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.
TX Channel (Transmit Channel)
Valid Settings: 1–16, Rx
fig.08-060d
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.
Device ID
Valid Settings: 1–32
fig.08-070d
This sets the Device ID used for transmitting and receiving
Exclusive messages.
* This is set to “17” when shipped from the factory.
Sync Clock
Valid Settings: Auto, Internal
fig.08-080d
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.
