Un-synchronized clocks
If you need to record tempo changes in real-time, instead of
re-creating them later, you can also record without
synchronizing the clocks. To do this:
1. Set the Global MIDI Clock to Internal.
2. Start recording on the NAUTILUS.
3. Start the external sequencer.
This records incoming MIDI data exactly as it is received,
preserving any tempo changes.
The drawback of this method is that data regarding measure
divisions and rhythmic values will not be preserved. So, this
method is not suitable if you intend to edit the data later.
Recording the MIDI output of the
NAUTILUS’s controllers, and internal
sequencer to an external sequencer or
computer
If you wish to record the MIDI output of the NAUTILUS’s
controllers function, and internal sequencer on an external
sequencer or computer and use the NAUTILUS as the
monitoring and playback tone generator while you record,
you must turn off the NAUTILUS’s Local Control setting
(“Local Control On” Global 1–1a), and set your external
sequencer/computer for echo-back (a function by which the
data received at MIDI IN is retransmitted without change
from MIDI OUT) so that the data from the NAUTILUS’s
controllers function and internal sequencer will not be
applied in duplicate to the tone generator.
Using the RT control knobs 1–6 to record
MIDI control changes on an external MIDI
sequencer/computer
Set the NAUTILUS to Local Control Off. Set the external
MIDI sequencer/computer to Echo Back On. With these
settings, recording and playback will occur correctly, and the
control changes will not be applied to the tone generator in
duplicate.
Recording RPPR function on an external
MIDI sequencer/computer
In SEQUENCER mode, when the RPPR function is on,
playing the keyboard will cause RPPR to operate. Similarly,
the RPPR function will also operate in response to notes
received on the MIDI channel of the track selected by
Track
Select (SEQUENCER 0–1a). Notes will be transmitted by
RPPR from MIDI OUT according to the local control setting
(“Local Control On”) as described below.
Local Control On : Notes from RPPR will be transmitted
from MIDI OUT.
Local Control Off : Notes from RPPR will not be
transmitted from MIDI OUT. The NAUTILUS will sound
only in response to MIDI messages received at MIDI IN, or
generated by RPPR.
Setting example 1
To record the note messages generated by Arpeggiator or
RPPR on the external MIDI sequencer/computer:
1. Turn on Arpeggiator or RPPR.
2. On GLOBAL P1: MIDI , enable Local Control On.
3. Make the following ARP External Routing settings
(GLOBAL 1–1b).
4. On your external sequencer or computer, turn the
echo back setting Off.
When you’re recording a performance generated by
Arpeggiator or RPPR, this setting will prevent duplicate
notes from being sounded by the echo-back. (Turn the RPPR
function off for playback.)
Setting example 2
To use the external MIDI sequencer/computer to record only
the notes that trigger Arpeggiator or RPPR, and operate ARP
or RPPR for monitoring while recording, and during
playback:
1. Turn on Arpeggiator or RPPR.
2. On
GLOBAL P1: MIDI , disable Local Control On.
3. Make the following ARP External Routing settings
(GLOBAL 1–1b).
Notes generated by Arpeggiator or RPPR will not be output.
4. On your external MIDI sequencer or computer, turn
on the echo back setting.
This allows recording to occur correctly, without ARP or the
RPPR function being applied in duplicate.
About GM (General MIDI)
The NAUTILUS supports the GM standard. It also supports
the GM2 sound map (including bank select) with 256
programs and 9 drum programs provided in ROM banks G,
g(1)–g(9), and g(d). (Banks g(1)–g(9) are GM2 variation
programs, and g(d) contains drum programs.)
GM is a standard that ensures basic compatibility of sounds
and controllers between GM-compatible instruments made
by different manufacturers. When using GM with
NAUTILUS, be aware of the following.
• GM System On is supported in SEQUENCER mode. For
more information, see “GM Initialize” on page 523.
• When you wish to play a GM sequence, or load GM data
into a song, set “Bank Map” (GLOBAL 0–1d) to GM(2).
About standard MIDI files
Standard MIDI files (SMF) make it possible for different
computer programs or musical instruments made by
different manufacturers to exchange time-based MIDI data.
Each standard MIDI file contains one song. The NAUTILUS
supports format 0 (type 0) in which all of the MIDI data is
combined into one track, and format 1 (type 1) in which the
data is separated by track.
