System Parameters—————————————————————————
MIDI Sync
(MIDI synchronization mode)
Settings: Int, Ext
When this parameter is set to “Int” the QY20 is controlled by its own
internal clock.
When set to “Ext” the QY20 is controlled by a MIDI clock signal re-
ceived from an external device such as a sequencer or music computer.
Please note that the QY20 will not run on its own when this parameter is
set to “Ext.”
This parameter simply turns MIDI control of the QY20 on or off. “On”
is the normal setting, and with this setting the QY20 receives note, pro-
gram change, and control change data from an external MIDI keyboard or
other controlling device. Transmission and reception of start, stop, and
continue commands is also active, as is MIDI clock transmission.
When set to “Off” the QY20 will not respond to external MIDI control.
