Beats Midi Out; User Key Tuning; Song Start/Stop - E-Mu Planet Phatt Operation Manual

• Beats MIDI Out

This function allows Beat note and controller data to be sent out
MIDI as the Beats are playing. Selecting "Transmit" sends the MIDI
data as the beats play. Selecting "Transmit & Mute" sends the data
over MIDI data but does not play internal voices.

• User Key Tuning

In addition to standard twelve tone equal temperament, Planet Phatt
contains four additional preset tuning tables (Just C, Vallotti, 19 tone,
and Gamelan) and one user definable tuning. User Key Tuning allows
you to alter the parameters of the user definable tuning. The pitch of
every key can be individually tuned, facilitating the creation of alter-
nate scales. Using the cursor key and the data entry control, select the
key name, the MIDI key number and the fine tuning. The key name is
variable from C-2 to G8. MIDI key number is variable from 0 to 127.
The fine tuning is variable from 00 to 63 in increments of 1/64 of a
semitone (approx. 1.56 cents). For each preset, the specific tuning
table is selected in the Edit menu.

• Song Start/Stop

This function enables or disables MIDI Song Start/Stop for Beats mode.
In some cases you may want to start Beats mode along with an exter-
nal sequencer. In other cases you may want to start Beats mode inde-
pendently. This control allows you either option. Song Select or MIDI
clocks are not affected by this function. You can also use the Beats
Control number (see the following page) to control Song Start/Stop even
when this function is disabled.
