Basic Guide

2D MEMORY

Preload OK?

3Press the [+/YES] key.

A screen will appear in which you can select the data to be loaded.

2D MEMORY

1PRG A01”A01 OK?

4Use the [+/YES] [–/NO] keys to select the data that you wish to load.

If 1PROG is selected, only a single program will be loaded. In this case, use the [+/YES] [–/NO] keys to select the program number to be loaded, and the loading destination (use the CURSOR [®] key to move).

If PROG is selected, 128 programs will be loaded.

If GLOBAL is selected, Global data (the settings of Glo- bal mode) will be loaded.

5Use the CURSOR [®] key to move the cursor to OK?, and press the [+/YES] key.

The screen will ask for conﬁrmation.

2D MEMORY

Are You Sure OK?

6Press the [+/YES] key once again. The data will be loaded.

When the screen indicates “Completed,” loading has been completed.

7Press the [EXIT] key.

You will return to the screen where you begin the “Pre- load” process.

3.Synchronization with external MIDI devices

Settings for synchronization with a connected external MIDI device are made in Page 3C: MIDI “Clock.”

a. Synchronizing an external MIDI device to the MS2000/MS2000R

You can synchronize an external MIDI device such as a sequencer or rhythm machine to the tempo of the MS2000/ MS2000R arpeggiator.

1Use a MIDI cable to connect the MS2000/MS2000R’s MIDI OUT connector to the external MIDI device’s MIDI IN connector (☞p.10).

2Press the [GLOBAL] key to enter Global mode.

3Press the SELECT [6] key.

The LCD screen will show Page 3C: MIDI “Clock.”

3C MIDI

Clock:Internal

4Use the [+/YES] [–/NO] keys to select Internal.

With a setting of Internal, MIDI Clock messages will be transmitted from the MS2000/MS2000R at the tempo speciﬁed by the ARPEGGIATOR [TEMPO] knob.

5Make settings so that the external MIDI device will receive MIDI Clock messages from another device (i.e., so that the external MIDI device will function as a slave device).

The external MIDI device (sequencer or rhythm machine) will operate according to the tempo set by the [TEMPO] knob.

b. Synchronizing the MS2000/MS2000R to an exter- nal MIDI device

1Use a MIDI cable to connect the MS2000/MS2000R’s MIDI IN connector to the external MIDI device’s MIDI OUT connector (☞p.10).

2Press the [GLOBAL] key to enter Global mode.

3Press the SELECT [6] key.

The LCD screen will show Page 3C: MIDI “Clock.”

4Use the [+/YES] [–/NO] keys to select External.

3C MIDI

Clock:External

5Make settings so that the external MIDI device will transmit MIDI Clock messages (i.e., so that the exter- nal MIDI device will function as a master device). The sequence or arpeggiator will operate according to the tempo of the external MIDI device.

For details on synchronization settings for your exter- nal MIDI device, refer to the owner’s manual for your device.

4.Saving data on an external device (Data Dump)

Various types of data from the MS2000/MS2000R’s internal memory can be transmitted as MIDI exclusive data, and saved on another connected MIDI device such as a data ﬁler.

Before you begin, connect a device that is able to receive a MIDI data dump (a data ﬁler, computer, or another MS2000/MS2000R unit), and set the global MIDI channels of both devices to match.

1Press the [GLOBAL] key. You will enter Global mode.

2Press the SELECT [8] key.

The LCD screen will show Page 3F: MIDI “MIDI Dump.”
