Indication

Parameter Explanation
SYNC MODE Specifies how the internal sequencer will op-
erate and how MIDI Clock messages will be
transmitted and received.
SYNC OUT Determines whether synchronization-related
MIDI messages will be transmitted. When
this is on, the following messages will be
transmitted from the MIDI OUT connector.
* If the SYNC MODE is set to "SLAVE," it
will not be possible to set SYNC OUT to
"ON."
* If "VINYL" is selected as the D-FIELD
function, Timing Clock (F8) and Song
Position Pointer (F2) will not be output
even if you set SYNC OUT to "ON."
SONG LOOP Specifies how songs will be played back. You
MODE can cause the same song to be played back re-
peatedly, or all songs to be played back in se-
quence.
SONG PLAY Specifies whether or not the pattern setup pa-
MODE rameters will be loaded when you move to
the next step of the song.
Values
INT:
The internal sequencer will syn-
chronize to the internal tempo clock.
Any MIDI Clock messages received
from an external device will be ig-
nored.
REMOTE:
Operation will be essentially the
same as "INT." However, Start/
Stop messages from the external
MIDI device will control playback/
stop for the internal sequencer.
SLAVE:
The internal sequencer will syn-
chronize to MIDI Clock messages
received from an external device. If
no MIDI Clock messages are being
received, pattern/song playback
will not occur even if you press the
.
[ ] button
OFF:
Messages will not be transmitted.
ON:
The following messages will be
transmitted from the MIDI OUT
connector.
•Timing clock: F8
•Start: FA
•Continue: FB
•Stop: FC
•Song Position Pointer: F2
OFF:
This is the normal condition. The
currently selected song will be
played back only once.
LOOP1:
The currently selected song will be
played back repeatedly.
ALL:
All songs will be played back re-
peatedly in sequence.
* When using "ALL" to playback a
song, we recommend that a pattern
which mutes all parts (i.e., a silent
pattern) be inserted at the end of the
song, so that songs are joined
smoothly.
MODE1:
The setup parameters, mute, and re-
altime modify settings will be load-
ed each time you move to the next
step.
MODE2:
Setup parameters, mute, and real-
time modify will be maintained
during playback only if the next
step plays a pattern that is the same
as the currently playing pattern.
