Local Control
Sets the local control setting.
On: Normally, this should be turned “On”. However, if you are using the opsix with an external
sequencer or the likes, you will want to set local control to “Off” to eliminate the double-trigger-
ing of notes caused by MIDI echo.
Off: The opsix’s keyboard will be internally disconnected from the tone generator. With this
setting, the opsix’s tone generator will not sound when you play the opsix’s keyboard.
Clock
Off:
The opsix will use the program’s tempo settings. MIDI clock messages will not be transmit-
ted or received.
Internal:
The opsix will use the Performance’s Tempo setting. Use this when playing the opsix
by itself, or when you want the opsix to control the tempo of external MIDI devices such as a
sequencer or drum machine.
External:
The opsix tempo will synchronize to incoming MIDI Clock messages from either
5-pin MIDI or USB. If MIDI clocks are not being received, tempo-related features will not
function.
Auto:
This combines the functionality of Internal and External, so that you don’t have to
manually switch between the two:
• If MIDI Clocks are not being received, the opsix uses its internal tempo.
• If MIDI Clocks are being received, they control the tempo. If the clocks stop for more than
500 ms, the opsix switches back to internal tempo.
Convert Position
This sets how the velocity curve and transpose settings will work in response to MIDI IN/OUT
signals.
Regardless of the Convert Position, Transpose and Velocity Curve always apply when
playing internal sounds directly from the opsix keyboard.
Pre: Applies the velocity curve and transpose settings to the data outputted from the opsix’s
keyboard. The data that is affected by the settings (velocity curve and transpose) is the data
transmitted from the MIDI OUT when playing the keyboard of the opsix. This has no effect on
MIDI data received from MIDI IN.
