Yamaha AR-80 Musical Instrument User Manual


 
3 INT./EXT. (Internal/External)
LEAD
Determines internal or external control of the Lead Voice. When set to Internal, the Upper
keyboard plays the Lead Voice. When this is set to External, a connected MIDI instrument
can play the Lead Voice (over channel 4).
SYNC.
Determines the timing control source, when using external rhythm machines, sequencers,
etc. Setting this to Internal gives timing control to the AR-80. Setting this to External gives
timing control to the external device.
EXP. (Expression)
Determines the control of the expression pedal. Ordinarily, this should be set to AUTO. (In
AUTO, playback of the M.D.R. automatically switches the setting to EXT. to allow MD.R.
control over the expression pedal.) When it is set to INT., you can manually control the
expression pedal functions during M.D.R. playback. When it is set to EXT., the M.D.R. (or a
second, connected Electone) controls the expression pedal functions.
About the Receive Channels
When using another MIDI device to play the Electone’s voices, you must set the MIDI transmit
channel(s) of the connected device to match the receive channel(s) of the Electone. The MIDI
receive channels of the Electone are fixed to the following values:
Upper= 1
Lower= 2
Pedal= 3
The MIDI transmit channel of each connected MIDI device should
match the above numbers.
