be transmitted as Note On/Off messages.

If you set the drum kit and bass program to the same MIDI
channel, playing information for both will be handled together
and appear at the MIDI OUT connector (or USB port).
This setting specifies whether the MIDI synchronization
message Timing Clock will be transmitted.
Refer to steps 1 – 4 of “Basic procedure” to bring up the
indication “CLOCK” on the second line of the display and
press the [ENTER] key. Then turn the dial to select one of the
following settings.
●
On (Transmission on)
Timing Clock information will be transmitted when the
HD8/HD16 is running (default setting).
●
Off (Transmission off)
Timing Clock information will not be transmitted.
Timing Clock will be output according to the tempo of the
rhythm pattern/rhythm song that is playing. In order for the
external MIDI device to play back in synchronization at an
appropriate tempo, you will need to specify the tempo of the
rhythm pattern/rhythm song. Also, to synchronize the measure
indication at the HD8/HD16 and the MIDI device, the time
signature of the rhythm pattern/rhythm song must be set.
NOTE
Timing Clock information will be transmitted even if the drum/
bass track is muted ([RHYTHM] status key is out).

• When using MIDI Timing Clock messages transmitted from the
HD8/HD16 to synchronize the operation of an external MIDI
device, you should also turn on transmission for Song Position
Pointer and Start/Stop/Continue messages as well as Timing
Clock.
• When transmitting Timing Clock from the HD8/HD16, it is
recommended to turn the drum kit/bass program MIDI channels
OFF. Synchronization may become unstable if MIDI Timing
Clock and other MIDI messages are being transmitted
simultaneously.
You can specify whether Song Position Pointer messages will
be transmitted. Song Position Pointer is a MIDI message that
indicates the current position as a beat count from the start.
Normally it is used in conjunction with Timing Clock.
Refer to steps 1 – 4 of “Basic procedure” to bring up the
indication “SPP” on the second line of the display and press the
[ENTER] key. Then turn the dial to select one of the following
settings.
●
On (Transmission on)
MIDI Song Position Pointer messages will be transmitted
when a locate operation is performed on the HD8/HD16
(default setting).
●
Off (Transmission off)
Song Position Pointer messages will not be transmitted.
You can specify whether Start/Stop/Continue messages will be
transmitted. Start/Stop/Continue are MIDI messages that
control the transport of a device, causing it to run or stop.
Normally these messages are used in conjunction with Timing
Clock.
Refer to steps 1 – 4 of “Basic procedure” to bring up the
indication “COMMAND” on the display and press the
[ENTER] key. Then turn the dial to select one of the following
settings.
●
On (Transmission on)
The appropriate Start/Stop/Continue message will be
transmitted when the HD8/HD16 stops or begins running
(default setting).
●
Off (Transmission off)
Start/Stop/Continue messages will not be transmitted.
