This sets the MIDI channel used for receiving MIDI messages.

* This is set to “1” when shipped from the factory.

Omni Mode

Valid Settings: Omni Off, Omni On

fig.08-050d

When set to “Omni On,” messages are received on all channels, regardless of the MIDI channel settings.

*Even when Omni Mode is set to ON, the only Exclusive messages received are for Device ID data set with “Device ID.”

*This is set to “Omni On” when shipped from the factory.

TX Channel (Transmit Channel)

Valid Settings: 1–16, Rx

fig.08-060d

This sets the MIDI Transmit channel used for transmitting MIDI messages. When set to “Rx,” this MIDI channel is same as the MIDI Receive channel.

* This is set to “Rx” when shipped from the factory.

Device ID

Valid Settings: 1–32

fig.08-070d

This sets the Device ID used for transmitting and receiving Exclusive messages.

* This is set to “17” when shipped from the factory.

Sync Clock

Valid Settings: Auto, Internal

fig.08-080d

You can synchronize the performance of a sequencer or other external MIDI device.

Auto:

When the MIDI Clock of the external MIDI device is not being received, the performance is synchronized to the tempo set in MASTER BPM; when the external MIDI device’s MIDI Clock is being received, the performance is synchronized to that.

Internal:

The performance is synchronized to the tempo set in Master BPM.

*This is set to “Auto” when shipped from the factory.

*When you have an external MIDI device connected, the Master BPM is then synchronized to the external MIDI device’s tempo, thus disabling the Master BPM setting. To enable setting of the Master BPM, set to “Internal.”

*When synchronizing performances to the MIDI Clock signal from an external MIDI device, timing problems in the performance may occur due to errors in the MIDI Clock.
