Preventing Equalizer Settings from Being Switched (EQ Control)

You can store different equalizer settings (p. 74) for each individual Setup (p. 54).

This setting determines whether or not the Setup equalizer settings values are to be changed when Setups are switched.

Parameter	Value	Description
	SETUP	Equalizer settings change when
EQ		Setups are switched.
Control	SYSTEM	Equalizer settings do not change
		when Setups are switched.

When this is set to SYSTEM, a “ ” is displayed in the upper right of each screen.

NOTE

With this setting set to SYSTEM, you cannot change the Control/EQ settings (p. 74).

Retaining the Current Tone Even

When Tones Are Switched (Tone

Remain)

This setting specifies whether the currently heard sound will continue (ON) or not (OFF) when another tone is selected.

Parameter	Value
Tone Remain	OFF, ON

NOTE

Effects settings change as soon as you switch to a new Tone, without being influenced by the Tone Remain setting. Because of this, certain effects settings can cause notes that were until then sounding to no longer be heard, even though Tone Remain has been set to on.

Changing the Clock (Timing) Source (Clock Source)

You can control the tempo from an external MIDI device. Set this to MIDI when synchronizing to the clock (tempo) of an external MIDI device.

Parameter	Value	Description
	INT	Synchronized to the internal clock
Clock		Synchronized to the external
		MIDI device’s clock
Source	MIDI
		The tempo indication “	”
		changes to “M:” for each screen.

Internal tempo settings are made in the Tone screen (p. 32), the Rhythm Edit screen (p. 82), and the Arpeggio Edit Screen (p. 83).

NOTE

The tempo cannot be set if Clock Source is set to MIDI without there being any external MIDI device connected. This can result in arpeggios (p. 49) and Rhythms (p. 51) not sounding, and may change the manner in which certain effects are applied.

GM/GM2 System On and GS

Reset

Specifies whether General MIDI System On, General MIDI 2 System On, or GS Reset messages from external MIDI devices will be received (ON) or not (OFF).

Using Program Change Messages to Switch Setups (Control Channel)

When not switching Setups from an external MIDI device, set this to OFF.
