Explanation
DIRECT:
When a knob is moved, control
data of the corresponding position is
always output.
CATCH: Control data is output after the
knob passes through the current value of
the parameter.
Specifies how the volume changes in
response to the force of your strike on the
pad.
LINER: This is the normal setting. This
allows the most natural-feeling relation
between strike strength and volume
change.
EXP:
Compared to LINEAR, this produces
greater volume change for stronger strikes.
LOG:
Compared to LINEAR, this produces
greater volume change for softer strikes.
FIX10-127: Enters a specified fixed value.
Specifies the pad's minimum sensitivity so
that a trigger signal is read only if the pad is
struck more strongly than a specified level.
This can be used to prevent the pads from
picking up vibration from the environment.
Adjusts the sensitivity of the pads to
repeated strikes.
With lower values, the pads will accept
repeated strikes at a shorter time
interval. Increase this value if you don't
want repeated strikes to be accepted
inadvertently.
Specifies whether sound that is input via
the USB-connected MIX OUT port is input
before or after TOTAL FX.

Explanation
Specifies the tempo source.
If this is "AUTO, " the tempo automatically
synchronizes to MIDI clock if MIDI clock is
being input via the MIDI IN connector or
the USB port.
If this is "INT, " the tempo specified on the
MC-707 is used.
Specifies whether clock, start, and stop
messages are transmitted (ON) or are not
transmitted (OFF) to the devices connected
to the corresponding MIDI port.
Specifies whether clock, start, and stop
messages are transmitted (ON) or are not
transmitted (OFF) to the USB-connected
device.
When synchronized to external MIDI clock,
this setting specifies whether the step
sequencer's start/stop is controlled from
the device connected to the corresponding
MIDI port (ON) or is not controlled (OFF).
When synchronized to external MIDI
clock, this setting specifies whether step
sequencer's start/stop is controlled from
the USB-connected device (ON) or is not
controlled (OFF).
Specifies the MIDI channel of each track.
When transmitting and receiving system
exclusive messages, the device ID numbers
of both devices must match.
If this is ON, MIDI messages that are
input from the MIDI IN connector are re-
transmitted without change from the MIDI
OUT connector.
Specifies whether MIDI messages received
at the USB port or MIDI IN port are
retransmitted without change from the
MIDI OUT connector and USB port (ON) or
not (OFF).
If this is ON, MIDI messages received at the
USB port are sent to the internal sound
engine and to the MIDI OUT connector,
and MIDI messages received at the MIDI IN
connector are sent together with messages
from the internal sound engine to the USB
port.
