● Internal—The Recorder/sequencer (SONG) or Arranger
(STYLE) uses its internal tempo.
● MIDI—Song or Style playback can be started or stopped
with MIDI real-time messages (Start, Stop, Clock)
received from an external clock source.
● Remote—The Recorder/sequencer (SONG) or Arranger
(STYLE) waits for a start message to start playback at its
own tempo. When it receives a stop message, playback
stops. External clock messages are ignored.
The Basic channel is used to receive and transmit
Program Change and Bank Select messages for
selecting User Programs, as well as for the reception
and transmission of other kinds of messages that are
not directly related to a specific MIDI channel (such
as the PART SWITCH function, for example). Note
that if you select another channel, messages
intended for the BASIC parameters might also cause
other parameters to change when you don’t want
them to.
■MIDI TX
● CHANNEL—Use this parameter to assign a MIDI transmit
channel to the “Basic” channel. If you don’t want these
messages to be transmitted, switch off the [TX¥ON÷OFF]
field.
● PART SWITCH—Whenever you mute or un-mute a part
on the Mixer pages (Keyboard parts) or on the STYLE
MAKEUP TOOLS/VOLUME page, your E-60/E-50 sends an
NRPN message that describes your action. Not sending
these messages may be useful to keep your external
sequencer from recording them – or the receiving GS
module from muting the part assigned to that channel.
● USER PRG PC—This parameter is used to enable or dis-
able the transmission of program change and bank
select messages related to User Program selection.
■MIDI RX
● CHANNEL—Use this parameter to assign a MIDI receive
channel to the “Basic” channel. If you don’t want these
messages to be received, switch off the [RX¥ON÷OFF]
field.
● PART SWITCH—Whenever you mute or un-mute a part
on the Mixer pages (Keyboard parts) or on the STYLE
MAKEUP TOOLS/VOLUME page, your E-60/E-50 sends an
NRPN message that describes your action. You can keep
the E-60/E-50 from responding to such messages to
avoid that external instruments mute its parts.
● USER PRG PC—This parameter is used to enable the
reception of program change and bank select messages
relative to User Program selection.
● MASTER VOLUME—This parameter allows you to enable
or disable the reception of Master Volume messages that
would change the E-60/E-50’s overall volume. This is an
exclusive message common to all newer MIDI devices.
The STYLE channel is used for receiving program
change and bank select messages that select Styles
and volume messages that change the Style’s vol-
ume. These two message types can only be filtered in
the RX column (i.e. you can specify whether or not to
receive them).
The MIDI address of a Music Style consists of three
elements: a CC00 number, a CC32 number and a pro-
gram change number. The values assigned to CC00
and CC32 define the Style, whereas the program
change number defines the Division (Intro, Ending,
etc.). See also the “Parameter Reference” booklet sup-
plied with your E-60/E-50.
Sending only a program change number selects
another Division of the currently active Style. Be
aware, however, that only sending CC00 and CC32
messages (without a program change) has no effect.
Note: When you select another Style on your E-60/E-50, it
transmits a CC00-CC32-PC cluster on the Style channel, which
you could record using an external sequencer.
■MIDI TX
● CHANNEL—Use this parameter to assign a MIDI transmit
channel to the STYLE function. If you don’t want these
messages to be transmitted, switch off the [TX¥ON÷OFF]
field.
■MIDI RX
● CHANNEL—Use this parameter to assign a MIDI receive
channel to the STYLE function. If you don’t want these
messages to be received, switch off the [RX¥ON÷OFF]
field.
● STYLE PC—Program change and bank select messages
for Style selection. Switch this button icon off if the
E-60/E-50 must not select other Styles and/or Divisions.
● STYLE VOLUME—Volume messages relating to the Music
Styles. Switch this button icon off if the E-60/E-50 must
not receive them.
