Metronome
Mode
(Job
A-3)
This job
makes
it
possible to
set
the
QX21 metronome
to
operate during

(in

Select
(Job
A-5)
Press
RESET
to return to
the job
A-1 once
the desired
mode
has been
selected.
Normally, the
QX21
is
synchronized
to
its
internal
clock
signal, the
speed
of
which
is
controlled using the
TEMPO
control.
In
some
applications,
however,
the
QX21
can be synchronized
to
an
external
MIDI
clock signal received
at
the
MIDI
IN
terminal.
It
might,
for
example, be
useful to
synchronize
QX21
playback
to
the clock
signal
from
a
MIDI
rhythm
machine such
as the
Yamaha RX
series Digital
Rhythm
Programmers.
The
selection of
internal
or external
clock control
is
made
using
the
CLOCK
job. Call the
CLOCK
job
and
the
LED
display
will alternately
read
indicating that the
CLOCK

is
selected using the

Press
