7. Global mode

In Global mode you can set parameters such as MIDI or Pro- tect. Press the GLOBAL mode key to enter Global mode.

To execute Global mode, press the previous mode key.

The settings you make in Global mode will be cancelled if you turn off the power without Writing. If you wish to save the settings you make, you must perform the Write operation (☞p.56 "Saving the settings you modify in Glo- bal mode").

Metronome settings

Metronome oFF, r-0, r-1, r-2, on

Specify how the metronome will function. If you will be using realtime recording to create a pattern from scratch, it is conve- nient to use the metronome. The metronome will sound at quar- ter-note timing.

oFF: The metronome will not sound.

r-0: The metronome will sound only during recording (when the Rec and Play/Cancel keys are lit).

r-1: When recording, a one-measure count will be sounded before recording begins. The metronome will sound only during recording.

r-2: When recording, a two-measure count will be sounded before recording begins. The metronome will sound only during recording.

on: The metronome will sound during playback and record ing. There will be no count before recording begins.

1.Use the cursor keys to make the parameter select LEDs indi- cate Metronome.

2.Rotate the dial to make the metronome setting.

3.Press the Pattern or Song key to return to the previous mode.

The metronome setting cannot be written. When you turn on the power, it will always be "oFF."

Synchronizing the ES-1

with external MIDI devices

(MIDI Clock)

Clock int, Ext

The Global mode Clock setting allows the tempo of the ES-1to be synchronized with the tempo of an external MIDI device that is able to send or receive MIDI Clock messages.

For details on synchronization settings of your external MIDI device, refer to the owner's manual for your device.

Even if you set Clock to Ext, the ES-1will operate with its own internal clock if no MIDI Clock messages are being received at its MIDI IN connector.

Synchronizing the ES-1 to a mas-

ter external MIDI device (Ext)

1.Use a MIDI cable to connect the MIDI IN connector of the ES-1to the MIDI OUT connector of the external MIDI device (sequencer or synthesizer etc.).

2.Use the cursor keys to make the parameter select LEDs indi- cate Clock.

3.Rotate the dial to select "E t" (external clock).

4.Make settings on the external MIDI device (master) so that it will transmit MIDI Clock messages.

5.Return to Pattern mode or Song mode.

6.When you start the sequencer of the external MIDI device, the ES-1will simultaneously begin playback.

7.If MIDI Clock data is being received at the MIDI IN connec- tor, you can make the ES-1playback in synchronization with the external MIDI device by pressing the ES-1's Play/Pause key.

Global mode

If the MIDI Clock parameter is set to "E t" and the ES-1is synchronized to the external MIDI clock, it will synchro- nize to the tempo of the external sequencer, and it will not be possible to change the tempo on the ES-1.

If a MIDI Start message is received while the ES-1is already playing in synchronization with MIDI Clock, the ES-1will begin playback from the beginning of the cur- rently playing pattern (or in the case of a song, from the beginning of the pattern that was playing when the Start message was received).
