MIDI TX Channel (MIDI Transmit Channel)
1–16, Rx
fig.10-06
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 was set to "Rx" when the unit was shipped from the
factory.
MIDI Device ID
1–32
fig.10-07
This sets the Device ID used for transmitting and receiving
Exclusive messages.
* This was set to 1 when the unit was shipped from the factory.
MIDI Sync Clock
Auto, Internal
fig.10-08
You can synchronize the performance of a sequencer or other
external MIDI device.
Auto: When no MIDI Clock from the external MIDI
device is 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 was set to "Auto" when the unit was 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. If you
want to be able to set 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.
