>> MIDI Clock <d c>
You can assign either Enable to Receive MIDI Clock
(Displayed as <E c>), or Disable to Receive (Displayed a^
«d c»), by pressing the ON/OFF button located beneath thy
RECEIVE CH/CLOCK button same as Receive Channel `
setting. Using MIDI Clock, when you connect such two
MIDI instruments as Rhythm machines or Sequencers, you
can synchronize the tempo of every machine. For
example, if you assign Enable to Receive MIDI Clock
(Displayed as «E c>) when you start to play on the other
MIDI instrument (Rhythm machine, etc.), the PSS-590 will
start playing simultaneously with an identical Tempo (during
Recording with Song Memory). Or, if you assign the
opposite, Disable to Receive MIDI Clock, the PSS-590 will
play under it's own start and Tempo, regardless of when
the other MIDI instrument starts or with what Tempo.
* The initial pre-set settings for the Receive Channel mode are: Every
Receive Channel/Enable, MIDI Clock/Disable.
b) Transmit Channel Selection
When you press the KEYBOARD TRANSMIT CH button A
the MIDI Select, the corresponding LED will light up, and
you can assign the Transmit Channel for manual play on
the keyboard and Voice selection for each individual
Channel.
Additionally, to press the MEMORY BULK DUMP button
consecutively, you can make a Data Transfer of the System
