Owner's Manual
Determines the MIDI channel over which the instrument sends MIDI data (to an external sequencer, tone
generator, or other device). This parameter is available in the single-timbre tone generator mode (Voice/
Performance modes).
Settings: 1~16, off
n
In the multi-timbral tone generator mode (Multi/Sequence Play modes), MIDI data generated by playing the keyboard
(and its controllers) is sent to the internal tone generator and external devices via the MIDI output channel, which
corresponds to the selected Part number. The Port setting also depends on the setting of the last Chain Step selected in
the Sequence Play mode (page 98).
Also keep in mind that if one of the Multi-part Plug-in Parts 17 –32 is selected, MIDI data is sent via MIDI channels 1 - 16.
Similarly, if one of the PLG Parts 1-3 is selected, MIDI data is sent via MIDI channels 1 - 3.
n
When changing the Multi program using the S90 ES panel buttons, the bank select and program change messages are
transmitted via the Keyboard Transmit Channel set here.
Determines the device number used by this synthesizer in receiving or transmitting data. This number must
match the Device Number of the external MIDI device when transmitting/receiving bulk data, parameter
changes or other system exclusive messages.
Settings: 1~16, all, off
This switch enables or disables Bank Select messages, both in transmission and reception. When this is set to
"on," this synthesizer responds to incoming Bank Select messages, and it also transmits appropriate Bank
Select messages (when using the panel).
Settings: off, on
This switch enables or disables Program Change messages, both in transmission and reception. When this is
set to "on," this synthesizer responds to incoming Program Change messages, and it also transmits
appropriate Program Change messages (when using the panel).
Settings: off, on
Determines how this synthesizer receives and recognizes the AEG Sustain MIDI message. When set to mode1,
it is received as a Parameter Change. When set to mode2, it is received as a Control Change message.
Settings: mode1, mode2
This determines whether or not the tone generator of the instrument responds to your keyboard playing.
Normally, this should be set to "on" — since you'll want to hear the sound of the S90 ES as you play it. However,
for external sequencer applications, you may need to set this to "off" to avoid getting "double" notes, in which
the tone generator of the instrument is played twice — once by the keyboard and once again by the keyboard
data routed through the sequencer.
Even if this is set to "off," the data will be transmitted via MIDI. Also, the internal tone generator block will
respond to messages received via MIDI.
Settings: off, on
Determines whether or not Bulk Dump data can be received.
Settings: protect (not received), on (received)
From this display you can set various parameters related to MIDI clock and synchronization.
Determines whether Arpeggio playback and sequence playback in the Sequence Play mode will be
synchronized to the instrument's internal clock or an external MIDI clock.
Settings: internal, MIDI
internal ..............................Synchronization to internal clock. Use this setting when this synthesizer is to be used alone or as the
master clock source for other equipment.
MIDI ..................................Synchronization to a MIDI clock received from an external MIDI instrument via MIDI.
Determines whether MIDI clock (F8) messages will be transmitted via MIDI.
Settings: on (transmitted), off
Determines whether Sequencer Control signals—start, continue, stop, and song position pointer— will be
received and/or transmitted via MIDI.
Settings: off, in, out, in/out
off .....................Not transmitted/recognized.
in ......................Recognized but not transmitted.
out ....................Transmitted but not recognized.
in/out ...............Transmitted/recognized.
Determines which physical output terminal(s) will be used for transmitting/receiving MIDI data: MIDI IN/OUT,
USB, or mLAN (when the optional mLAN16E has been installed).
Settings: MIDI, USB, mLAN
n
Three types of terminals above cannot be used at the same time. Only one of them can be used to transmit/receive MIDI
data.
Many computer sequencers are capable of transmitting data over several MIDI ports, effectively breaking the
16-channel barrier. When using the USB terminal or mLAN terminal (when the optional mLAN16E has been
installed) for MIDI transmission/reception, you can have this synthesizer respond to MIDI data over one port,
while relaying the data for another port number (you can set here) to a separate tone generator (connected to
the MIDI OUT terminal). In this way, 16 channels of data can be played on this synthesizer and another 16 can
be played on the connected MIDI device.
Settings: 1~8
n
When the mLAN16E has been installed and the MIDI IN/OUT is set to mLAN, ports 5-8 are not available even if you set
them here.
