permanent) changes to the way a part behaves. Effects
parameters, for instance, can only be changed via SysEx
messages.
Such messages may slow down playback on external
MIDI instruments or yield no effect at all, which is why
you have the option to switch off their transmission in
the first place.
DATA CHANGES—This parameter allows you to specify
how the original program changes of the songs you play
back are transmitted via MIDI. The E-60/E-50 may
change sound addresses (usually CC00 and CC32 values)
so as to play back all songs with the best possible quality.
If you switch this parameter on, such real-time transfor-
mations are also transmitted via MIDI, in which case the
receiving tone generator may drop certain parts (if it
does not support the requested sound bank).
If you switch this parameter off, the original sound
addresses are transmitted to the receiving device. (But
the E-60/E-50’s tone generator continues to “enhance”
the songs you play back – this parameter only affects
MIDI transmission to external instruments.)
RX
SYSEX—Use this parameter to specify whether (button
icon on) or not (off) the E-60/E-50 should receive SysEx
messages from other devices. See also the explanation
above.
MIDI Sets
MIDI Sets are memories for MIDI settings. The E-60/
E-50 provides eight MIDI Set memories that you can
use to change your MIDI configuration. You can link
a MIDI Set to a User Program (page 94) and specify
which MIDI Set should be loaded when you switch on
the E-60/E-50 (see below). If you need to reset some
or all MIDI parameters to their default values, select
[Keyboard¥&¥Style¥Parts] and/or [Song¥Parts] rather
than a MIDI Set.
