Explanation

Sync

These parameters are used to synchronize external MIDI

devices. See below.

Basic

The parameters of this group affect the E-A7’s Basic

channel. The Basic channel is used to receive and transmit

Program Change and Bank Select messages for selecting

Performances as well as for the reception and transmission

of other kinds of messages that are not directly related to

a specific MIDI channel. See page 62.

Style

The parameters of this group affect the E-A7’s Style

channel. The Style channel is used for receiving program

change and bank select messages that select style and

volume messages that change the style volume. See page

63.

NTA

These parameters allow you to assign MIDI channels

to the E-A7’s NTA parts (Note-to-Arranger). Only notes

received on one of these channels are considered chord

information that can be used to transpose style playback

in real-time.
See page 63.

Parameters

This group contains MIDI parameters that are not related

to the previous groups. See page 64.

Sync

The following parameters are located on the display page that can

E-A7 should send MIDI real-time messages when you start

style

song playback. This allows you to synchronize external instruments

or (software) sequencers with your E-A7.

Style Start/Stop Tx

If you activate this option, the E-A7 sends start or stop messages

when you start (or stop)

style

playback.
