SYSTEM MIDI

Use to: Set the MIDI parameters for each song.

●The following jobs are provided.

SYNC	Sets the synchronization type.
CHANNELS	Sets the MIDI Receive and Transmit channel for each
	track.
CONTROL NUMBERS	Sets the MIDI control number for each knob function.

<SYNC>

Use this job to set the MIDI synchronization type. Three settings are available, as follows. The factory default setting is INTERNAL.

SYNC=INTERNAL The SU700 uses its internal clock to control song-play tim- ing. It outputs the clock signal through the MIDI OUT ter- minal, so that the signal can be used to synchronize external devices.

EXTERNAL The SU700 controls song-play timing in accordance with an external clock signal supplied to the SU700’s MIDI IN terminal by an external MIDI device. The SU700 does not output any clock signal.

MTC SLAVE The SU700 controls song-play timing in accordance with MTC (MIDI time code) supplied to the SU700’s MIDI IN terminal by an external MIDI device. The SU700 does not recognize any other incoming messages when this setting is in effect. (Note that you can set an MTC time offset to adjust timing with respect to the incoming time code (→ 230).
