Synchronizing the ES-1

with external MIDI devices

(MIDI Clock)

Clock int, Ext
The Global mode Clock setting allows the tempo of the ES-1 to
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-1 will 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-1 to 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-1 will simultaneously begin playback.
7. If MIDI Clock data is being received at the MIDI IN connec-
tor, you can make the ES-1 playback in synchronization with
the external MIDI device by pressing the ES-1's Play/Pause
key.

If the MIDI Clock parameter is set to "E t" and the ES-1
is 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-1 is
already playing in synchronization with MIDI Clock, the
ES-1 will 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).
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."
