Locking the Setting Screen While Editing One Instrument (Note Chase)

Note Chase is a function in which a pad is selected either by striking the pad or when MIDI data corresponding to that pad is received. The display automatically switches to the settings screen when the pad settings are made.

If you want to set other pads with this setting remaining at “OFF,” you can switch settings screens by holding down [SHIFT] and pressing [ ] or [ ] to select the trigger input number.

[EDIT] lights.

2.Press [ ] to select “MIDI COMMON.”
