	mute master keyboard.

Sequencer 1 This setting is for playing a Song (Sequencer 1) with an external instrument sounds, or for lis- tening to a Song performed by an external sequencer using Pa50 as a sound generator. Each track (S1 Tr1-16) corresponds to a MIDI

PAGE 5 - MIDI CONTROLS

This page lets you program general MIDI parameters.

Gbl:MIDI Ctl

Local:On

Clock:Internal

Clock Send:Off

Local

The Local parameter turns the keyboard on or off.

Note: The Local parameter is always turned on again each time you turn the instrument on.

On	When you play on the keyboard, MIDI data is
	sent to the internal sound generator and to the
	MIDI OUT port.
Off	The keyboard is connected to the MIDI OUT,
	but cannot play the internal sound generator.
	This is very useful when working with an
	external sequencer, to send notes and control-
	lers from the keyboard to the external
	sequencer, and then let the sequencer send
	them back to the sound generator, without
	overlapping. See the MIDI chapter.

Clock

This parameter selects the MIDI Clock source.

Note: The Clock parameter is always set to “Int” each time you turn the instrument on.

Internal	Internal, i.e. the clock generated by the Pa50
	Sequencer 1 internal metronome.
MIDI	External from MIDI. The Pa50 is slaved to an
	external instrument or sequencer, connected to
	its MIDI IN port. The Start/Stop and Play/Stop
	commands, and the metronome Tempo, can-

not be selected from the control panel of the Pa50. Use the external instrument to set the Tempo, and start or stop the sequencers (Song, Song Play, Backing Sequence modes) and the arranger (Style and Backing Sequence modes).

Clock Send This parameter turns the clock information on the MIDI OUT on or off.

Off	The Pa50 cannot send the MIDI Clock signal.
	You cannot slave another instrument to the
	Pa50, even when connected to the MIDI OUT.
MIDI	The Pa50 can send the MIDI Clock signal. You
	can slave another instrument to the Pa50
	Tempo, Start/Stop and Play/Stop commands.
	Connect the other instrument to the Pa50
	MIDI OUT port.

	controllers.

	MIDI messages to remotely select Styles, Per-
	formances, STS and Style Elements. See tables
	on page 144 and following for more informa-
