9: MIDI Utilities (continued)

MIDI Synchronization Mode
Select this function by pressing the QR10
[MIDI] key (the number “5” key) twice while
holding the [SHIFT] key (or press [MIDI] once
while holding [SHIFT] if the MIDI Bulk Dump
function, described above, is already selected).
Use the [–1] key to turn MIDI sync off, or the
[+1] key to turn it on.
When MIDI sync is turned off (“,F” on the
display) the QR10 is controlled by its own internal
clock.
When turned “on”, the QR10 is controlled by a
MIDI clock signal received from an external device
such as a sequencer or music computer. An indicator
block will appear next to “MIDI SYNC” on the
display. Please note that the QR10 will not run on its
own when this parameter is turned “on”.
The QR10 as an ABC Expander
The QR10 features an advanced ABC (Auto
Bass Chord) system that can be controlled from an
external keyboard, making it useful as an ABC
expander module. When the MIDI ABC function is
turned on, you can change chords during pattern
playback (and song accompaniment track recording)
simply by playing the appropriate chord in the
specified section of the external MIDI keyboard.
■ The ABC Settings
Each time the [MIDI ABC] key (the number “8”
key) is pressed while the [SHIFT] key is held, the
“ABC”, “LOWr”, and “UPPr” parameters are
selected in sequence.
