MIDI Utility Parameters
Parameter Value Explanation
Pad Base Ch OFF,
1–9
Specifies the channels used to play the SP-606’s pads from an external MIDI device.
OFF
: The pads will not sound even if messages are received from an external MIDI device.
1–9
: Specify the channel that will play Pad Banks 1–4. The MIDI channel for each set of
four banks is assigned relative to this value, as described in “MIDI on the SP-606”
(p. 78).
Pad Tx Mode TYPE1,
TYPE2
When the Note Trigger function (p. 86) is selected, this specifies whether the note numbers
transmitted to an external MIDI device will be different for each pad bank.
TYPE1
: Note numbers will be fixed as follows.
Channel: 1
Note numbers: Pad 1 -> 35
Pad 2 -> 36
:
Pad 16 -> 50
TYPE2
: Note numbers will be different for each pad bank. For the note numbers trans-
mitted by each bank, refer to “MIDI on the SP-606” (p. 78).

The Pad Base Ch setting does not change the channel. (Note messages are transmitted on
channels 1–8.)

Sync Source MIDI,
USB
Specifies the synchronization source used when the “Sync Mode” is SLAVE. The SP-606 will
synchronize to an external device (e.g., sequencer) connected via a MIDI cable if this is set
to
MIDI
, or to an external device connected via USB if this is set to
USB
.
Sync Mode INT,
REMOTE,
SLAVE
Specifies how the SP-606 will synchronize with an external MIDI device.
INT
: The SP-606’s internal sequencer will operate according to its own internal BPM
(tempo) setting.
REMOTE
: Basic operation is the same as for the INT setting, but the external MIDI device
will be able to remotely start/stop playback of the SP-606’s internal sequencer.
SLAVE
: The internal sequencer will synchronize to incoming MIDI Clock messages.
Tx MIDI Sync OFF, ON Specifies whether the SP-606 will transmit synchronization-related MIDI messages. If this is
ON, the SP-606 will transmit the following MIDI messages from MIDI OUT.
• Timing Clock: F8
• Start: FA
• Continue: FB
• Stop: FC
• Song Position Pointer: F2
Soft Thru OFF, ON Specifies whether data (except for system realtime messages) received at the SP-606’s MIDI
IN connector will be retransmitted from its MIDI OUT connector along with the perfor-
mance data generated and sent by the SP-606 itself.
*
To make the pads more responsive to your playing, leave this setting OFF unless you re-
quire it.
