MIDI Control

This parameter simply turns MIDI control of the QY300 on or off. “On” is the normal setting, and with this setting the QY300 receives note, program change, control change, and exclusive data from an external MIDI keyboard or other controlling device. When set to “Off” me QY300 will not respond to external MIDI control.

nEcho Back

Determines whether MIDI data received via the MIDI IN terminal is simultaneously re-transmited (“echoed back”) via the MIDI OUT connector. When this parameter is set to “Off” no echo back occurs. When set to “Dirt” (Direct) the received MIDI data is re-transmitted without modification. When “Moni” (Monitor) is selected, the received data is re-transmitted on the MIDI channel corresponding to the currently selected record track, and the data is affected by the Input Filter settings described in the next section.

Interval Time

This parameter sets the delay time between exclusive data blocks between 0 and 900 milliseconds in 100-millisecond increments. This type of delay is sometimes necessary to allow an external device to receive the data without errors.

Input Filters

The input filter parameters allow reception of various types of MIDI data to be turned on or off as required.

Reception of the various types of data listed on the display is tumed on or off by placing the cursor at the. appropriate data type and pressing the [-1/NO]button to turn the corresponding “filter” off (reception on) or the [+1/YES] button to turn the filter on (reception off). When the filter is off the block at the beginning of the data type will appear hollow, and when on the block will appear solid.

In the example display below reception of both polyphonic and monophonic aftertouch data has been turned off (their filters are turned on). This is sometimes a good idea because aftertouch generates a considerable amount of data that can rapidly take up large amounts of memory when recording from an external keyboard, for example.
