PAGE 5 - MIDI CONTROLS
This page lets you program general MIDI parameters.
Local
The Local parameter turns the keyboard on or off.
Note: The Local parameter is always turned on again each time
you turn the instrument on.
On When you play on the keyboard, MIDI data is
sent to the internal sound generator and to the
MIDI OUT port.
Off The keyboard is connected to the MIDI OUT,
but cannot play the internal sound generator.
This is very useful when working with an
external sequencer, to send notes and control-
lers from the keyboard to the external
sequencer, and then let the sequencer send
them back to the sound generator, without
overlapping. See the MIDI chapter.
Clock
This parameter selects the MIDI Clock source.
Note: The Clock parameter is always set to “Int” each time you
turn the instrument on.
Internal Internal, i.e. the clock generated by the Pa50
Sequencer 1 internal metronome.
MIDI External from MIDI. The Pa50 is slaved to an
external instrument or sequencer, connected to
its MIDI IN port. The Start/Stop and Play/Stop
commands, and the metronome Tempo, can-
not be selected from the control panel of the
Pa50. Use the external instrument to set the
Tempo, and start or stop the sequencers (Song,
Song Play, Backing Sequence modes) and the
arranger (Style and Backing Sequence modes).
Clock Send
This parameter turns the clock information on the MIDI
OUT on or off.
Off The Pa50 cannot send the MIDI Clock signal.
You cannot slave another instrument to the
Pa50, even when connected to the MIDI OUT.
MIDI The Pa50 can send the MIDI Clock signal. You
can slave another instrument to the Pa50
Tempo, Start/Stop and Play/Stop commands.
Connect the other instrument to the Pa50
MIDI OUT port.
