32 MIDI Parameters
MIDI Parameters
Layer Sustain
Layer sustain determines if the sustain pedal is igonred or recognized on the
layered sound. The default value is ON .
Local Control
Local Control is the connection between the keyboard of the RE-220 and the
internal sound-producing circuitry of the instrument. Normally, Local Control is
ON
; in fact, every time you power-up the RE-220, it automatically sets to Local
Control ON , so you can play the keyboard and hear the sounds of the instrument.
But, there are reasons for setting Local Control to OFF -especially when MIDI
Out of the RE-220 is connected to feed back to the instrument's MIDI In port.
One example of this is when using an external sequencer whose MIDI In port is
connected to MIDI Out of the RE-220, and whose MIDI Out port is connected
to MIDI In. In such a case, you can eliminate the doubling of notes by setting
Local Control to OFF .
MIDI Channel Disable
You can disable response to any MIDI channel that you want. Disabling a
channel causes the RE-220 to ignore incoming MIDI information on that
channel. This is useful if you have an external MIDI tone generator, and wish to
dedicate one or more MIDI channels to the tone generator.
To disable a MIDI channel, first press the UP/DOWN button one or more times to
select a channel from 1 to 16. To change ON/OFF status for that channel, press
and hold the MIDI Channel Disable button, then press the UP/DOWN button.
When a channel is disabled (OFF), a small dot appears on the first Letter of the
display. The default is ON for allchannels.
Transmit MIDI Channel
This parameter enables you to specify the channel on which the RE-220
transmits MIDI Data. The channel can be set to OFF, and 1 to 16. If it is set to
OFF, MIDI messages are not transmitted.
The default transmit MIDI Channel is 1.
If the transmit MIDI channel is set to values other than OFF or 1, the
recorder of RE-220 will not work.
