Making MIDI filter settings
MIDI FILTER ...................................................
You can select which MIDI messages the ESX-1 will
receive and transmit.
1. Press the Global key.
2. Hold down the shift key and press step key 15
(MIDI UTILITY) (key 15 will blink). The param-
eter display will indicate “MIDI Util.”

and press key 15.
4. The parameter display will read “PCEN.”
The characters “PCEN” correspond to four types
of message whose status is indicated by an “O” or
“X” in the value display. If you want a category of
message to be transmitted/received, set its status
to “O.” If you don’t want that category of message
to be transmitted/received, set its status to “X.”
Turn the dial to select “O” or “X” for each category
of message.
P: Program change, bank select, and song
select transmission/reception.
C: Control change transmission/reception.

However while the MIDI Dump page is
displayed, this data can always be re-
ceived regardless of this setting.
N: Note message transmission/reception.
5. When you have finished making settings, press the
15 key to return to Global mode. (Key 15 will go
dark and the Global mode key will light.) If you
decide to cancel, press the STOP/CANCEL key or
press a mode key.
Assigning the drum note numbers

You can assign a MIDI note number (as a note
name) for each drum part. If you assign the same

sound simultaneously when controlled from an
external MIDI device.

2. Hold down the shift key and press step key 15
(MIDI UTILITY) (key 15 will blink). The param-
eter display will indicate “MIDI Util.”

dial to change this to “DrNote,” and press key 15.
4. Press the drum part key whose note number you
want to assign.
5. The parameter display will show the name of the
selected drum part, and the value display will in-
dicate the corresponding number.
Turn the dial to select the desired note number. For
each drum part that you want to assign, repeat the
steps of selecting the drum part and then selecting
a note number.

15 to return to Global mode. (Key 15 will go dark and
