Midi Menu - GEM RP220 Owner's Manual

The two options available are:
Internal: the internal metronome controls the sequencer timing.
External: the MIDI IN clock signal transmitted by the external
device controls the sequencer timing.
With External selected, the internal sequencer waits for a start
message from the external clock device.
Use the DATA – button to select the External option.
Return to Internal with the DATA + button.
The last setting remains in memory until changed again, or until you turn
the instrument off. When you turn on the instrument, the MIDI Clock will
return automatically to Internal.
Midi Menu Page 3
Press the CURSOR RIGHT button to pass to the third page of the Midi
Menu which contains three Midi functions: Midi In Filter, Midi Out Filter
and Computer Interface.
MIDI In Filter
The first of the three Midi functions shown selected (in negative highlight)
is the Midi In Filter:
This function allows you to block the reception of certain MIDI messages
which might be unwanted on some occasions.
The table shown opposite lists the Filter In messages available:
Use the DATA +/– buttons to select the message that can be filtered out
of the MIDI IN data stream.
The default setting for the MIDI IN Filter is OFF.
For example, if you were playing a MIDI file from an external sequencer
using the El.Grand Preset, you might find that the Preset you have
selected changes every time you start playback of the sequence. This
happens because the sequence includes a Program Change at the
beginning of the song.
To overcome this problem, you would select the MIDI IN FILTER "PRO-
GRAMS". This means that the RP220 would then ignore any Program
Change messages that it receives from the external device.
