■TX
● SYSEX—Use this parameter to specify whether (button
icon on) or not (off) the E-80 should send SysEx mes-
sages. Such messages are not standardized, so that each
manufacturer can use them ad lib for temporary (or per-
manent) changes to the way a part behaves. Effects
parameters, for instance, can only be changed via SysEx
messages.
Such messages may slow down playback on external
MIDI instruments or yield no effect at all, which is why
you have the option to switch off their transmission in
the first place.
● DATA CHANGES—This parameter allows you to specify
how the original program changes of the songs you play
back are transmitted via MIDI. The E-80 may change
sound addresses (usually CC00 and CC32 values) so as to
play back all songs with the best possible quality. If you
switch this parameter on, such real-time transforma-
tions are also transmitted via MIDI, in which case the
receiving tone generator may drop certain parts (if it
does not support the requested sound bank).
If you switch this parameter off, the original sound
addresses are transmitted to the receiving device. (But
the E-80’s tone generator continues to “enhance” the
songs you play back – this parameter only affects MIDI
transmission to external instruments.)
■RX
● SYSEX—Use this parameter to specify whether (button
icon on) or not (off) the E-80 should receive SysEx mes-
sages from other devices. See also the explanation
above.
The V-HARM parameters allow you to specify
whether or not the Vocal Harmonist should send and/
or receive MIDI messages. If you need this, be sure to
also set the correct MIDI channel.
■MIDI TX
● CHANNEL—Use this parameter to assign a MIDI transmit
channel to the Vocal Harmonist part (1~16). If you don’t
want these messages to be transmitted, switch off the
[TX¥ON÷OFF] field. The Vocal Harmonist sends (and
receives) only setting changes and note messages that
serve as harmony indications. The note data of your
singing are not transmitted or received.
■MIDI RX
● CHANNEL—Use this parameter to assign a MIDI receive
channel to the Vocal Harmonist part (1~16). If you don’t
want these messages to be received, switch off the
[RX¥ON÷OFF] field.
MIDI Sets
MIDI Sets are memories for MIDI settings. The E-80
provides eight MIDI Set memories that you can use
to change your MIDI configuration. You can link a
MIDI Set to a User Program (page 131) and specify
which MIDI Set should be loaded when you switch on
the E-80 (see below). If you need to reset some or all
MIDI parameters to their default values, select
[Keyboard¥&¥Style¥Parts] and/or [Song¥Parts] rather
than a MIDI Set.
