Chapter 9. Other Settings
This section explains how to set the system parameters, how they
work, and how to restore the settings as programmed at the factory.
Settings Applied to the SH-32
Overall (System Settings)
Settings whose parameters affect the SH-32’s overall operating
environment, such as tuning, the Local Switch On/Off, and so on,
are called system settings. Explained here are the procedures used
to make changes to the system settings, and the functions of the
different parameters.
Procedure for Making the System
Settings
1. Turn the FX/SYSTEM knob to “SYSTEM.”
fig.05-01.e
2. Press a button below to select the parameter to set.
fig.09-01
The pressed button blinks, and the parameter indicated below
the button is called up.
3. Press [VALUE /] to set the value.
You can make settings for the selected parameter only when the
indicator to the left of the FX/SYSTEM knob is blinking.
4. When you have finished making the settings, press [EXIT].
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.
What the System Settings Do/
System Setting Functions
For more on the procedures for setting the following parameters,
as well as the way they work, refer to the respective reference
pages.
MIDI CH (MIDI Channel) (p. 84)
BULK DUMP (Bulk Dump) (p. 88)
Setting the Master Tuning (TUNE)
This allows you to adjust the overall tuning for the SH-32. The
display indicates the frequency of the A4 key (Middle A), with the
hundreds place (i.e., 400) omitted.
Settings values: 26.0–40.0–54.0 (426.0–440.0–454.0 Hz)
Disconnecting the Preview (Note-Entry)
Function from the Internal Sound
Generator (LOCAL)
When you press [PREVIEW], turning on the Preview function, you
can then use the SH-32’s note-entry buttons to play sounds (p. 21).
In this case, you can also set whether the note-entry buttons are
disconnected from the internal sound generator (Local Switch: Off);
or remain connected (Local Switch: On). Set this to Off when you
want to prevent the overlapping of identical note messages within
the SH-32 (i.e., the note being played twice) due to a looped
connection with an external MIDI sequencer.
Settings values: (Off), (On)
When the Local Switch is set to Off, the Preview function’s note-
entry buttons are disconnected from both the Arpeggiator and
Chord Memory functions, and performance data is only sent to
the MIDI OUT connector.
When the Remote Keyboard Switch (REMOTE) is on, the
external MIDI keyboard connected to the MIDI IN connector
assumes the same function as the SH-32’s note-entry buttons.
Therefore, the Local Switch also affects the connection between
the external MIDI keyboard and the internal sound generator.
Having an External MIDI Keyboard
Operate Like the Preview Function
(REMOTE)
When the Remote Keyboard Switch (REMOTE) is on, the external
MIDI keyboard connected to the MIDI IN connector then functions
the same way as the SH-32’s note-entry buttons.
Settings values: (Off), (On)
While the Remote Keyboard Switch is on, the channels used by
MIDI messages that arrive from an external device won’t be
distinguished correctly.
