SETUP
Parameter Value Explanation
GLOBAL CH OFF, 1–16
Specifies the transmit and receive channel. If you choose "OFF," MIDI messages will not be
transmitted.
MIDI SYNC
OFF, AUTO
Specifies whether to synchronize the SPD-SX’s playback tempo.
If you choose “AUTO,” MIDI clock (F8) messages received via the MIDI IN connector or
the COMPUTER connector will be detected automatically, and the SPD-SX’s tempo will
synchronize to these messages.
LOCAL CONTROL OFF, ON
Local Control is a setting used when recording your pad performance into an external MIDI
sequencer.
When recording, turn LOCAL CONTROL “OFF” so that when you play the pads, the perfor-
mance data will not be sent directly to the SPD-SX’s internal sound generator, but will be
routed through the external sequencer and then sent back to the SPD-SX.
SOFT THRU
OFF, ON
If this is “ON,” data received at the MIDI IN connector will also be transmitted from the MIDI
OUT connector along with the performance data of the SPD-SX itself.
USB-MIDI I/F OFF, ON
If this is “ON,” MIDI messages transmitted or received via the COMPUTER connector will be
transmitted and received without change via the MIDI connectors.
