LCD MIDI Settings Screen
This LCD screen mirrors the MIDI controls found on
the
Global
tab of the VGA
Track
screen. Many of the
parameters on this screen are identical to the parame-
ters found in the VGA
Global
tab, and are explained on
the previous pages. Only those parameters that are
unique to this LCD screen are explained here.
To reach this screen, press the
SETTINGS
key in the
MAIN DISPLAY MODE
section. Then use the
NEXT
PAGE
soft key to scroll to the
MIDI
page.
MTC INPUT PORT
This allows the SX-1’s
MIDI
IN
port to see MIDI Time Code. Use the
MIDI IN
option if you are using a device that is sending both
MTC and MIDI performance data (notes, etc.) from
the same port.
ACTIVE SENSE
This turns on or off MIDI Active
Sensing. Turn this parameter on when you are con-
trolling a device that accepts Active Sensing. You
may want to turn off Active Sensing if: you have an
older MIDI device that does not accept Active Sense
messages and “chokes” on them, or if you find the
constant flashing of the MIDI activity indicator
annoying (or you only want to see sequencer activ-
ity). This parameter is only accessible from the LCD
screen.
LED MODE
This setting allows you to choose
whether the
<MIDI>
activity LED on the SX-1’s
slanted front panel responds to MIDI In data, MIDI
Out data, or both.
VGA MIDI Track Tab
The
MIDI Track
tab contains controls for non-destruc-
tively altering a track’s MIDI performance. From the
MAIN DISPLAY MODE
section, press the
TRACK
key, then click on the
MIDI Track
tab.
Track
Here, you select a MIDI track for processing.
Each track can have its own unique settings for all of
the available parameters.
