Making MIDI-related settings

(rhythm song) even if you are not using the rhythm track.

NOTE

Timing Clock will be transmitted even if the drum and/or bass tracks are muted (DRUM/BASS status keys dark).

HINT

When using MIDI Timing Clock messages transmitted from the MRS-1044 to synchronize the operation of an external MIDI device, you should also turn on transmission for Song Position Pointer and Start/Stop/Continue messages as well as Timing Clock.

When transmitting Timing Clock from the MRS-1044, we recommend that you turn the drum/bass MIDI channels OFF. Synchronization may become unstable if MIDI messages other than timing clock are also being transmitted.

Specifying transmission of Start/ Stop/Continue messages (COMMAND)

You can specify whether Start/Stop/Continue messages will be transmitted. Start/Stop/Continue are MIDI messages that control the transport of a device, causing it to "run" or "stop." Normally these messages are used in conjunction with Timing Clock. When the display indicates "COMMAND," turn the dial to select one of the following settings.

Specifying transmission of Song Position Pointer messages (SPP)

You can specify whether Song Position Pointer messages will be transmitted. Song Position Pointer is a MIDI message that indicates the current measure position. Normally it is used in conjunction with Timing Clock.

When the display indicates "SPP," turn the dial to select one of the following settings.

ON (transmission on): MIDI Song Position Pointer messages will be transmitted when a Locate operation is performed on the MRS-1044 (default setting).

OFF (transmission off): Song Position Pointer messages will not be transmitted.

ON (transmission on): The appropriate Start/ Stop/Continue message will be transmitted when the MRS-1044 stops or begins running (default setting).

OFF (transmission off): Start/Stop/Continue messages will not be transmitted.
