Yamaha AN200 manual 80

Chapter 18 Master Class 1 — Onstage
4 Start song or sequence playback on the other device.
When you start and stop playback on the connected MIDI device, the Pat-
tern or Song on the AN200 starts and stops at the same time. Naturally,
you can change the bpm on the other device, and the AN200 will instantly
and automatically follow right along.
If you want, you can use the AN200 as the master device. Just make sure
the Clock on the AN200 is set to “Internal” — otherwise, you won’t be able
to start the Patterns or Songs from the AN200, nor control the other device.
For settings on the other device, refer to the relevant owner’s manual. (For
an example showing the AN200 as the master, see Tip 82.)
80 Changing the MIDI channels
In general, you won’t need to fool with these settings. But they’re here if you ever DO need them.
The four tracks of the AN200 — Synth and Rhythm 1 - 3 — are fixed to receive
data over MIDI Channels 1 through 4, respectively. To match the tracks to a
controlling MIDI keyboard or sequencer, you may have to change these set-
tings. Each track also features an “off” setting, so you can disable a track’s
MIDI reception if you want.
Here, we’ll show you how to change the MIDI Receive Channel for the Synth
track. The Rhythm tracks can be changed in the same way.
1 Hold down [SHIFT] and press button [14] (MIDI
SETUP), repeatedly if necessary, until “SY.u1 ” appears
in the display.
2 Change the channel with the [DATA] knob.
Clock
Sets the AN200 to either send or receive MIDI
clock messages. This determines whether
the AN200 functions as the master or slave in
MIDI sync applications. When using the
AN200 alone or to control a connected
device, set this to Internal (“int”). When
controlling the AN200 from a connected
device, set this to External (“E$t”). Keep in
mind, the Patterns or Songs cannot be
started from the AN200 if this is set to Exter-
nal.
Hold down [SHIFT] and press button [14]
(MIDI SETUP), repeatedly if necessary, until
“CLo)” appears in the display, then use the
[DATA] knob to make the desired setting.
Settings
int (Internal)
Sends MIDI clock messages, for control-
ling the sync of another device.
E$t (External)
Receives MIDI clock messages, for sync-
ing to another device.
MIDI Receive Channel — Synth
Track, Rhythm Tracks 1 - 3
Determines the MIDI channel over which the
appropriate track receives MIDI data. Make
sure the Receive Channel of the desired track
matches the Transmit Channel setting on the
controlling keyboard or sequencer.
Hold down [SHIFT] and press button [14],
repeatedly if necessary, until the desired set-
ting is shown:
“SY.u1” — Synth Track (set to default of
Channel 1)
“r1.u2” — Rhythm Track 1 (set to default
of Channel 2)
“r1.u3” — Rhythm Track 1 (set to default
of Channel 3)
“r1.u4” — Rhythm Track 1 (set to default
of Channel 4)
Use the [DATA] knob to change the value.
The “----” setting corresponds to “off.”
Settings
1 — 16, “----” (off)
