MIDI Parameters
Layer Sustain
Layer sustain determines if the sustain pedal is igonred or recognized on the
layered sound. The default value is O N.
Local Control
Local Control is the connection between the keyboard of the RE-210 and the
internal sound-producing circuitry of the instrument. Normally, Local Control is
O N; in fact, every time you power-up the RE-210, it automatically sets to Local
Control O N, so you can play the keyboard and hear the sounds of the instrument.
But, there are reasons for setting Local Control to O F F-especially when MIDI
Out of the RE-210 is connected to feed back to the instrument's MIDI In port.
One example of this is when using an external sequencer whose MIDI In port is
connected to MIDI Out of the RE-210, and whose MIDI Out port is connected
to MIDI In. In such a case, you can eliminate the doubling of notes by setting
Local Control to O F F.
MIDI Channel Disable
You can disable response to any MIDI channel that you want. Disabling a
channel causes the RE-210 ignore incoming MIDI information on that channel.
This is useful if you have an external MIDI tone generator, and wish to dedicate
one or more MIDI channels to the tone generator.
For this setting, pressing the U p / D o w n button selects a channel from 1 to 16. To
change ON/OFF status, press the U p / D o w n button while pressing and holding
the MIDI Channel Disable button for the selected channel. When it's O F F, a small
dot appears on the first Letter of the display. The default is O N for all channels.
Transmit MIDI Channel
This parameter enables you to specify the channel on which the RE-210
transmits MIDI Data. The channel can be set to OFF, and 1 to 16. If it is set to
OFF, MIDI messages are not transmitted.
The default transmit MIDI Channel is 1.

MIDI Parameters
If the transmit MIDI channel is set to values other than OFF or 1, the
recorder of RE-210 will not work.
Program Change ON/OFF
Ordinarily, when you press a Sound Select button, the instrument transmits the
corresponding program change message. And, when the instrument receives a
program change message from external MIDI devices, it responds to it by
changing the sound.
You can disable this function with this setting so that the RE-210 doesn't send or
receive program change messages. The default is O N.
General MIDI
General MIDI (GM) allows sequencer (recorder) data from different sources to
be played back with predictable results by standardizing the sounds that
Program Change messages select, channel (10) for drum and percussion sounds,
and the "mapping" of those sounds across the keyboard. The RE-210 partially
implements General MIDI by re-mapping the RE-210 program list fit to the GM
program list, so you can play General MIDI sequences and automatically hear
the correct sounds except sounds that the RE-210 doesn't' have.
When you set the RE-210 to General MIDI ON, program changes received from
the MIDI In port will select the appropriate internal sounds. In addition, the RE-
210 assigns the General MIDI Drum Kit to channel 10 and disables external
program changes for that channel. The front panel is not affected. The RE-210
can set General MIDI to ON/OFF by responding to an external system exclusive
message to turn General MIDI ON and OFF.
General MIDI is set to O F F every time power to the RE-210 is turned on.
System Exclusive Dump
(Song Data)
Both song's data saved in the RE-210 can be transmitted to the MIDI Out port in
the form of System Exclusive Data. When this button is pressed, 'Y' '?' is shown
on the display. If you press the U p button, Song Data Dump is executed.
The transmitted Data can be usually saved in software sequencers which support
System Exclusive Data Send/Receive. Conversely, the saved song data in the
sequencer can be transmitted back and saved into the RE-210.
System Exclusive Dump
(MIDI/Pref Data, Program Effects Data)
All data about RE-210 settings, for example, parameters in the MIDI/Pref Menu
and Program Effects can be transmitted to MIDI Out port in the form of System
Exclusive Data. When this button is pressed, 'Y' '?' is shown on the display. If
you press the U p button, Song Data Dump is executed.
The transmitted Data can be usually saved in software sequencers to support
