MIDI FUNCTIONS
No. Parameter Name
85 External Clock
This determines whether the style playback function is controlled by the PortaTone's internal
clock (off) or by MIDI clock data from an external sequencer or computer (on).
This should be set to "on" when you want to have style playback follow the external device (such as a
rhythm machine or a sequencer). The default setting is "off."
External Clock is automatically set to "off" when the Song mode is selected.
86 Bulk Dump Send
This lets you save important PortaTone data and settings to another device (such as a sequencer,
computer, or MIDI data filer).
The saved settings are: User One Touch Setting banks 1 - 4, User Songs 1 - 3, and EZ Chord banks 1 -
8), which you can then reload any time you need. For example, you can save data to floppy disk on a
computer or a MIDI data filer (such as the Yamaha MDF3), and have unlimited storage capability for
your valuable PortaTone data. (For detailed instructions, see the section "USING BULK DUMP SEND
TO SAVE DATA" on page 99.)
87 Initial Setup Send
This function lets you transmit the initial setup settings of the PortaTone to a sequencer and
record them as part of a song.
This ensures that when you playback the song, the PortaTone is instantly and automatically
reconfigured to the proper settings for the song. (For detailed instructions, see the section "USING
INITIAL SETUP SEND WITH A SEQUENCER" on page 102.)
