6. Global mode

In Global mode you can set parameters such as metronome settings, overall tuning, memory protect, etc. To enter Global mode, press the GLOBAL key. To exit Global mode, press a different mode key.

If you turn off the power without writing the settings you make in Global mode, your changes will be discarded. If you want to keep the changes you made, perform the Write operation (☞ p.76 “Saving your Global mode settings”).

Setting the metronome

These controls allow you to specify how the metronome will operate. The metronome is convenient when you are using realtime recording to create patterns.

The metronome will sound at quarter-note intervals. Except for when you have selected the “On➝3/4” setting, the sound of metronome is output from line out jacks L/R and from the headphone jack, mixed with the sound of the EMX-1’s playback and audio input.

1.Press the [] key until the parameter display reads “Metronom.”

2.Turn the dial to make the desired metronome set- ting.

You cannot write the metronome setting.When the power is turned on, it will always be “Off.”

Matching the tuning with another instrument

You can adjust the basic tuning of the EMX-1 in steps of one cent. Normally you will leave this set at “+00” (A=440 Hz). Adjust this setting if you need to match the pitch of the EMX- 1 to another instrument.

Use the []/[ ] cursor keys to select“MstTune” in the parameter display. Turn the dial to make the desired setting.

MASTER TUNE ...............................

-50...+50

This value will be changed by MIDI Master Fine Tune messages received from an external device.

The pitch of drum parts will not change.

Protecting the data in memory

This setting lets you protect the Pattern mode and Song mode data.

Use the [ ]/[] cursor keys to select “Protect” in the parameter display. Turn the dial to select Off or On.
