Section 3 — Instruments and Banks EPS-16 PLUS Musician's Manual
This parameter will determine whether the instrument will play LOCALLY (only
on the EPS-16 PLUS), over MIDI, or both. There are four possible settings:
• BOTH — Keys, controllers, etc. will be played locally and will be retransmitted
via MIDI over the selected MIDI channel when TRANSMIT ON=INST CHAN
and MIDI IN MODE=POLY.
• LOCAL — The instrument will only play local voices, and will not send any
data out MIDI even with the parameters set for retransmitting.
• MIDI — Keys, controllers, etc. will be sent out via MIDI when TRANSMIT
ON=INST CHAN and MIDI IN MODE=POLY. The instrument will not play
EPS-16 PLUS voices at all. This is comparable to Local Off on some
keyboards. Use this status when you want to create MIDI-only
Instruments/Tracks for playing or sequencing remote MIDI devices.
• EXT — This mode is identical to MIDI on the rack mount The mode exists
for use in the EPS-16 PLUS keyboard, which uses the same operating
system..
Note: These settings are in effect only when TRANSMIT ON=INST CHANNEL on the
EDIT/System•MIDI page.
This display shows how much internal memory the instrument occupies. This is
a readout only and can't be modified. Size is shown in Blocks. One
Block=256 samples (or words). Four Blocks=lk sample/words.
When you want to know if there's enough room to save a particular instrument to
a particular disk, you can compare the instrument size (shown here), to the FREE
DISK BLOCKS shown on the EDIT/System•MIDI page.
You can use this parameter to change the name of an existing instrument, or name
a new one that you've just created. The display shows the twelve-character name
of the instrument with a cursor beneath the first character. Newly sampled or
created instruments are called UNNAMED INST until you rename them.
• Select NAME=####. Use a combination of the Arrow buttons to
name/rename the Instrument
