Setting the MIDI Mode
In addition to MIDI send and receive channel selection, the EMR-1 makes it possible to set three other MIDI modes:
Hi OMNI ON/OFF
When the OMNI mode is ON, the EMR-1 will receive on all MIDI channels regardless of the MIDI receive channel
currently selected. When the OMNI mode is OFF, the EMR-1 will receive only on the currently selected MIDI channel.
The OMNI mode is automatically turned ON whenever the EMR-1 POWER switch is turned ON.
1. While holding the MIDI/FOOT SW button down, press the POPS rhythm selector once. This will display the current
OMNI status:
e If the SMALL LED is lit, the OMNI mode is ON.
e If the LARGE LED is lit, the OMNI mode is OFF.
2. To change the current setting, press the POPS rhythm selector a second time (while still holding the MIDI/FOOT SW
button). Each time you press the POPS selector the OMNI mode will alternate between ON and OFF.
3. Release the MIDI/FOOT SW button.
H Program Change ON/OFF
Normally the EMR-1 will respond to MIDI program change numbers received from the controlling keyboard, causing
the correspondingly numbered EMR-! rhythm to be selected whenever a voice selector is pressed on the keyboard. The
EMR-1 will normally also send a MIDI program change number whenever one of its rhythms is selected, causing the
correspondingly numbered voice to be selected on the keyboard if the keyboard is set up to receive program change
numbers.
This function makes it possible to cancel program change number reception and transmission so that voices and rhythms
can be independently selected on the controlling keyboard and EMR-1.
1. While holding the MIDI/FOOT SW button down, press the DISCO rhythm selector once. This will display the current
program change status:
e If the SMALL LED is lit, program change is ON.
e If the LARGE LED is lit, program change is OFF.
2. To change the current setting, press the DISCO rhythm selector a second time (while still holding the MIDI/FOOT
SW button). Each time you press the DISCO selector the program change status will alternate between ON and OFF,
3. Release the MIDI/FOOT SW button.
Volume Control Reception
The EMR-1 can be made to receive volume control data from the controlling keyboard as follows.
e If the LARGE LED is lit, volume reception is ON.
e If the SMALL LED is lit, volume reception is OFF.
3. Release the MIDI/FOOT SW button.
