MIDI Functions

This function lets you enable or disable keyboard control over the PSR-292’s
voices in the Function mode (page 76). This would come in handy, for example,
when recording notes to MIDI sequencer. If you are using the sequencer to play
back the voices of the PSR-292, you would want to set this to “off” — in order to
avoid getting “double” notes, both from the keyboard and from the sequencer.
Normally, when playing the PSR-292 by itself, this should be set to “on.”
The most common use for the Initial Setup Send function is in recording a song
on a sequencer that is intended for playback with the PSR-292. Essentially, this
takes a “snapshot” of the PSR-292 settings and sends that data to the sequencer.
By recording this “snapshot” at the start of the song (before any actual perfor-
mance data), you can instantly restore the necessary settings on the PSR-292 in
the Function mode (pa
ge 76). Provided there is a pause in the song, you could
also do this in the middle of a song — for example, completely changing the PSR-
292 settings for the next section of the song.
This determines whether the style and song playback functions are controlled by
the PortaTone’s internal clock (off) or by MIDI clock data from an external
sequencer or computer (on).
This should be set to on when you want to have style or song playback follow the
external device (such as a rhythm machine or a sequencer). The default setting is
off.
These settings can be made in the Function mode (pa
ge 76).
This lets you save important PortaTone data and settings to another device (such
as a sequencer, computer, or MIDI data filer).
These settings can be made in the Function mode (pa
ge 76).
