Status is BTH, EXT, or EX2. An external tone
generator connected to MIDI OUT will sound, and
the tempo of an external sequencer can be
controlled.
Using the external MIDI device as master and the
OASYS as slave
Connect the OASYS’s MIDI IN connector to the MIDI
OUT connector of the external MIDI device.
• When you set “MIDI Clock” to External MIDI, the
OASYS will be the slave device.
KARMA function: The tempo will follow the MIDI
timing clock. If you playback the external sequencer,
the OASYS’s KARMA function will synchronize to
the external timing clock.
Even if “MIDI Clock” is External MIDI and the
OASYS is being controlled from the external device,
the performance of the KARMA function will still
be transmitted via MIDI. (In Combination and
Sequencer modes, the KARMA function will be
transmitted from timbres/MIDI tracks whose
Status is BTH, EXT, or EX2.)
Sequencer: It will not be possible to control the
playback from the OASYS; playback will be
controlled by the external device connected to the
OASYS’s MIDI IN. If you wish to playback the
external sequencer to make the OASYS’s sequencer
playback in synchronization to the external timing
clock, you must first set the same time signature and
starting measure locations on both devices.
Even if “MIDI Clock” is set to External MIDI and
the OASYS is being controlled from an external
device, musical data will be transmitted by tracks
whose Status is BTH, EXT, or EX2.
Recording musical data from an external
device
There are two ways in which you can play back an
external sequencer and record its playback on the
OASYS.
• Set MIDI Clock (Global 1–1a) to Internal, begin
recording, and then start the external sequencer.
With this method, the MIDI messages will be
recorded without the two devices being
synchronized. Since the incoming musical data will
simply be recorded, this method allows the
performance to be reproduced faithfully, but since
measure divisions etc. will not be kept track of, this
method is not suitable if you intend to edit the data
later.
• If you set “MIDI Clock” to External MIDI, the start
of recording and the tempo etc. will all be under the
control of the external sequencer.
Since the two devices will be synchronized during
the recording process, measure divisions etc. will
be accurately preserved. (You will need to set the
time signature before recording.) However, tempo
changes during the performance will not be
recorded, so you will have to insert any tempo
changes later. For normal multi-track recording,
you will use this method. For more information, see
“Multi (multitrack recording)” on page 87 of the
Operation Guide.
Recording the MIDI output of the OASYS’s
controllers, KARMA function, and internal
sequencer to an external
sequencer/computer
If you wish to record the MIDI output of the OASYS’s
controllers, KARMA function, and internal sequencer
on an external sequencer or computer and use the
OASYS as the monitoring and playback tone generator
while you record, you must turn off the OASYS’s Local
Control setting (“Local Control On” Global 1–1a), and
set your external sequencer/computer for echo-back (a
function by which the data received at MIDI IN is
retransmitted without change from MIDI OUT) so that
the data from the OASYS’s controllers, KARMA
function and internal sequencer will not be applied in
duplicate to the tone generator.
Using the REALTIME KNOBS 1–8 to record
MIDI control changes on an external MIDI
sequencer/computer
Set the OASYS to Local Control Off. Set the external
MIDI sequencer/computer to Echo Back On. With
these settings, recording and playback will occur
correctly, and the control changes will not be applied to
the tone generator in duplicate.
Recording the KARMA function or RPPR
function on an external MIDI
sequencer/computer
When the KARMA function is on, playing the
keyboard or operating the controllers of the OASYS
will operate and control the KARMA function.
In the same way, the KARMA function will be
controlled by MIDI messages received from MIDI IN
(if “Enable MIDI In to KARMA Module” in Global 1–
1b is turned on).
Notes transmitted from MIDI OUT by the KARMA
function are controlled as follows, according to the
local control setting (“Local Control On” Global 1–1a)
and the “Enable KARMA Module to MIDI Out”
(Global 1–1b) setting.
In Sequencer mode, when the RPPR function is on,
playing the keyboard will cause RPPR to operate.
Similarly, the RPPR function will also operate in
response to notes received on the MIDI channel of the
track selected by Track Select (Sequencer 0–1a). Notes
will be transmitted by RPPR from MIDI OUT
according to the local control setting (“Local Control
On”) as described below.
Local Control On: Notes from the KARMA function or
RPPR will be transmitted from MIDI OUT. However,
MIDI transmission from the KARMA module is valid
only if “Enable KARMA Module to MIDI Out” is on.
Normally you will use this setting.
