Also, when you play back a rhythm pattern or rhythm song
on the MRS-1608, the drum/bass track playing information
will be transmitted as Note On/Off messages.
Turning Timing Clock messages on
or off
This setting specifies whether the MIDI synchronization
message Timing Clock will be transmitted.
Refer to steps 1 – 4 of "Basic procedure" to bring up the
indication "MIDI CLOCK" on the display and press the
[ENTER] key. Then turn the dial to select one of the
following settings.
CLOCK
CLOCK
ON ON
● ON (Transmission on)
Timing Clock information will be transmitted when the
MRS-1608 is running (default setting).
● OFF (Transmission off)
Timing Clock information will not be transmitted.
Timing Clock will be output according to the tempo of the
rhythm pattern/rhythm song that is playing. In order for the
external MIDI device to play back in synchronization at an
appropriate tempo, you will need to specify the tempo of the
rhythm pattern/rhythm song. Also, to synchronize the
measure indication at the MRS-1608 and the MIDI device,
the time signature of the rhythm pattern/rhythm song must
be set.
NOTE
Timing Clock information will be transmitted even if the drum/
bass tracks are muted ([DRUM]/[BASS] status keys are out).
HINT
• When using MIDI Timing Clock messages transmitted from
the MRS-1608 to synchronize the operation of an external
MIDI device, you should also turn on transmission for Song
Position Pointer and Start/Stop/Continue messages as well
as Timing Clock.
• When transmitting Timing Clock from the MRS-1608, it is
recommended to turn the drum kit/bass program MIDI
channels OFF. Synchronization may become unstable if MIDI
Timing Clock and other MIDI messages are being transmitted
simultaneously.

Normally these messages are used in conjunction with
Timing Clock.
Refer to steps 1 – 4 of "Basic procedure" to bring up the
indication "MIDI COMMAND" on the display and press the
