Chapter 8. Using the SH-32 with External MIDI Devices
Chapter 8
Setting the Performance Control
Channel
This sets the Receive channel (Performance Control Channel) used
when switching SH-32 Performances with MIDI messages (Program
Change, Bank Select) transmitted by an external MIDI device. When
you press the (lit) Part button selected in Step 4 of “Setting the
Receive Channel for Each Part,” all of the buttons [1]–[4/R] are
lit, and the Performance Control Channel can be set. Set this to
“OFF” when Performances are not being switched from a connected
MIDI device.
• The Performance Control Channel setting is a system setting.
System settings are saved the moment the parameter values are
changed. Thus, these settings are not lost when the power is
turned off, even without the write procedure being carried out.
• When receiving only Program Change messages, if the
Performance Control Channel setting is the same as the Part’s
MIDI Receive channel, then switching of the Performance is
given priority.
Playing the SH-32 from an
External MIDI Keyboard
Use an external MIDI keyboard to play the SH-32’s sounds.
1. Use a MIDI cable to connect the SH-32’s MIDI IN connector to
the MIDI OUT connector of the external MIDI keyboard.
fig.08-01.e
2. Set the SH-32’s receive channel to match the external MIDI
keyboard’s transmit channel.
• For instructions on how to set the SH-32’s receive channel, refer
to “Setting the MIDI Channel (MIDI CH)” (p. 84).
• For instructions on how to set the transmit channel of the
external MIDI keyboard, refer to the owner’s manual for your
external MIDI keyboard.
When the Remote Keyboard Switch (REMOTE) is set to “On,”
then the external MIDI keyboard may be set to any channel (p.
90).
3. Perform on the external MIDI keyboard to play the SH-32’s
sounds.
Changing the Sound with
Modulation (MOD)
Modulation messages (MIDI controller number 1) from an external
MIDI device connected to the MIDI IN connector can be used to
modify the sound.
1. Turn the MIDI settings knob to the “MOD” parameter you
want to set.

Parameters That Can Be Set
LFO 1-OSC
This uses modulation to change the depth of the LFO 1 modulation
applied to the oscillator pitch.
LFO 1-FILTER
This uses modulation to change the depth of the LFO 1 modulation
applied to the filter cutoff.
LFO 1-AMP
This uses modulation to change the depth of the LFO 1 modulation
applied to the amplifier level.
When the value set is 1–63:
The sweep depth (depth of the modulation) increases in the positive
direction when a Modulation message is received.
When the value set is 0:
The sweep depth does not change, even when a Modulation message
is received.
When the value set is -63– -1:
The sweep depth increases in the negative direction when a
Modulation message is received.
CUTOFF
This applies modulation to change the filter’s cutoff frequency.
When the value set is 1–63:
The cutoff frequency increases above the value set for the Patch (p.
57) when a Modulation message is received.
When the value set is 0:
The cutoff frequency does not change, even when a Modulation
message is received.
When the value set is -63– -1:
The cutoff frequency decreases below the value set for the Patch (p.
57) when a Modulation message is received.
