Pro 2 Operation Manual

Global Settings

8 . MIDI Control Enable: Off, On—

When On, the synth will respond to

MIDI controllers, including Pitch Wheel, Mod Wheel, Pedal, Breath,

Volume, and Expression.

9 . MIDI Sysex Enable: Off, On—

When On, the synth will respond to

received MIDI SysEx messages, and will transmit them, when prompted,

to the MIDI Out. See Sysex Messages on page 132

for details.

10 . MIDI Sysex Cable: None, MIDI Port, USB—

Sets the port, MIDI or

USB, by which System Exclusive data will be transmitted and received.

11 . MIDI Out Select: Off, MIDI, USB, MIDI+USB—

Sets the port by which

MIDI data will be transmitted.

12 . MIDI Port 2 Thru/Out: Out, Thru—

Selects whether the

midi

thru

/

out

2 port outputs a second, user-selectable MIDI channel or outputs the MIDI

data received on the MIDI In port.

13 . Local Control: Off, On—

When on (the default), the keyboard and

front panel controls directly affect the Pro 2. When off, the controls are

transmitted via MIDI but do not directly affect the “local” synth (that is,

the Pro 2). This is primarily useful for avoiding MIDI data loops that can

occur with some external sequencers.

14 . Mono/Stereo: Stereo, Mono—

The Pro 2 defaults to stereo operation.

When set to Mono, this parameter defeats all pan settings and modula-

tion, effectively making each of the outputs a mono output.

15 . Pot Mode: Relative, Passthru, Jump—

The rotary controls on the Pro 2’s

front panel are a mixture of “endless” rotary encoders and potentiometers

or “pots.” The pots are identifiable by their lined knobs and the fact that

they have about 300° of travel. There are three pot modes to determine

how the synth reacts when the programmable parameters are edited.

(Master volume is not programmable, so these modes don’t apply.)

When set to Relative, changes are relative to the stored setting. In Relative mode,

the full value range is not available until either the minimum or maximum value

and the respective lower or upper limit of the pot’s travel is reached.
