Default This a default setting. It is suitable both for
programming on an external sequencer,
and for playing microARRANGER with a
master keyboard.
Master Kbd Select this setting when you are connect‐
ing a mute master keyboard.
Sequencer 1 This setting is for playing a Song
(Sequencer 1) with an external instrument
sounds, or for listening to a Song per‐
formed by an external sequencer using
microARRANGER as a sound generator.
Each track (S1 Tr1–16) corresponds to a
MIDI channel with the same number (1–
16).
Sequencer 2 As above, but with Sequencer 2.

PAGE 5 - MIDI CONTROLS
This page lets you program general MIDI parameters.
Local
The Local parameter turns the keyboard on or off.
Note: The Local parameter is always turned on again each
time you turn the instrument on.
On When you play on the keyboard, MIDI
data is sent to the internal sound genera‐
tor and to the MIDI OUT port.
Off The keyboard is connected to the MIDI
OUT, but cannot play the internal sound
generator.
This is very useful when working with an
external sequencer, to send notes and con‐
trollers from the keyboard to the external
sequencer, and then let the sequencer send
them back to the sound generator, without
overlapping. See the MIDI chapter.
Clock
This parameter selects the MIDI Clock source.
Note: The Clock parameter is always set to "Int" each time
you turn the instrument on.
Global edit environment
Internal Internal, i.e. the clock generated by the
microARRANGER Sequencer 1 internal
metronome.
MIDI External from MIDI. The microAR‐
RANGER is slaved to an external instru‐
ment or sequencer, connected to its MIDI
IN port. The Start/Stop and Play/Stop
commands, and the metronome Tempo,
cannot be selected from the control panel
of the microARRANGER. Use the external
instrument to set the Tempo, and start or
stop the sequencers (Song, Song Play,
Backing Sequence modes) and the
arranger (Style and Backing Sequence
modes).
Clock Send
This parameter turns the clock information on the
MIDI OUT on or off.
Off The microARRANGER cannot send the
MIDI Clock signal. You cannot slave
another instrument to the microAR‐
RANGER, even when connected to the
MIDI OUT.
MIDI The microARRANGER can send the MIDI
Clock signal. You can slave another instru‐
ment to the microARRANGER Tempo,
Start/Stop and Play/Stop commands. Con‐
nect the other instrument to the microAR‐
RANGER MIDI OUT port.
