90 MIDI sequencer controls — Start, Continue, Stop
This function gives you detailed control over how the AN200 handles MIDI
sequencer control messages — Start, Continue, and Stop.
The major use for this minor function is to keep the AN200 from starting its
own Patterns (or from starting a connected sequencer). This comes in handy
when using the AN200 strictly as a tone generator in a larger MIDI system.
For example, if you are using the song data on a sequencer to play the AN200’s
Voices, you wouldn’t want the Patterns to play when you clicked PLAY. Simi-
larly, there may be times when you want to play a Pattern on the AN200, yet
want to avoid starting the sequencer at the same time.
1 With the AN200 properly connected in a MIDI system,
call up the MIDI Control setting on the AN200.
Hold down [SHIFT] and press button [14] (MIDI SETUP), repeatedly if nec-
essary, until “m.CtL” appears in the display.
2 Use the [DATA] knob to make the desired setting: On,
Out, In, or Off.
See “Tech Talk” below for details on the settings.
MIDI Control
Determines whether or not the AN200
receives and/or sends sequencer control
(System Real Time) messages. The Start
message (FA hexadecimal) tells a MIDI device
to go to the beginning of its song and start
playing. Continue (FB hexadecimal) is similar
to Start, except that the device will play from
the current location — not necessarily the
beginning. The Stop message (FC hexadeci-
mal) tells the device to stop playing the song.
Hold down [SHIFT] and press button [14]
(MIDI SETUP), repeatedly if necessary, until
“m.CtL” appears in the display, then use the
[DATA] knob to make the desired setting.
