9) MIDI OUT PARAMETERS
To set the MIDI OUT parameters press POLY in tape enable mode. POLY will light up indicating that the MIDI
OUT parameter mode has been selected.
The following parameters are available:
A) MIDI FILTER
LEDs A..D indicate MIDI filters. MIDI filters inhibit certain MIDI data from being transmitted. The following filters
are available:
A - note data (note on/note off/all notes off)
B - wheel data (bend and mod wheels)
C - program change
D - pedal (sustain pedal and chord memory pedal)
When the respective LED is illuminated the corresponding information is transmitted, otherwise not. Press the
corresponding button to toggle the filter on/off.
B) MIDI OUT CHANNEL
The MIDI OUT channel is indicated on 1..8 . Channel numbers above 8 are indicated by the corresponding LED
flashing. To obtain the selected channel number in this case add 8 to the LED flashing. To change channels simply
press the corresponding button. For channel numbers above 8 press the same button twice.
Example:
Channel 9 is selected. This is indicated by LED 1 flashing (1 + 8 = 9). In order to change to channel 13:
(1) Press 5 (13 - 8 = 5). 5 lights up indicating channel 5.
(2) Press 5 again. 5 starts flashing indicating channel 13.
10) MIDI IN PARAMETERS
To set the MIDI IN parameters press UNISON in tape enable mode. UNISON will light up indicating that the MIDI
IN parameter mode has been selected.
The following parameters are available:
A) MIDI FILTERS
These work as the corresponding MIDI OUT parameters but of course select what should be received by the
machine.
Example:
To turn off reception of program change messages:
(1) Switch to tape enable mode and press UNISON. UNISON lights up indicating MIDI IN parameter mode.
(2) The program change reception filter status is shown on LED C. If this LED is not lit, program change messages
are not received.
(3) Otherwise press C to turn the LED off.
B) LOCAL
Local mode is indicated on MANUAL. If the MANUAL LED is on, the synthesizer operates "as usual", i.e. the
keyboard, wheels, and pedal control the machine. By turning local mode off (by pressing MANUAL in MIDI IN
parameter mode, turning off the LED), all key depressions, bend and mod wheel changes, and pedals will only be
sent via MIDI (the corresponding MIDI OUT filters permitting) and not to the sound generating circuits in the
synthesizer. This can be useful in sequencing and master keyboard applications.
Note: The synthesizer will always respond to incoming MIDI data no matter whether LOCAL is on or off.
