Playing the NAUTILUS multi-timbrally
from an external device
The NAUTILUS can be connected to an external device and
played multi-timbrally in the following ways.
• MIDI messages from the external device can play a
combination (16-part multi-timbral performance). You
can change the overall settings (programs, levels, and
effects) by using program change messages to switch
combinations.
• MIDI messages from the external device can be used to
play a song (16-part multi-timbral performance). Overall
settings (programs, levels, effects etc.) can be changed
by using a Song Select message to switch songs. (Song
Select messages can be received if
MIDI Clock : Global
1–1a is set to External MIDI.)
• MIDI Clock messages from the external device can be
used to make the NAUTILUS playback a song (set
MIDI Clock to External MIDI, and run the
NAUTILUS’s sequencer). (“Synchronizing the playback
of arpeggiator or sequencer”) You can change the overall
settings (programs, levels, effects) by using song select
messages to switch songs.
Synchronizing the playback of
arpeggiator or sequencer
The choice of whether the NAUTILUS will be the master
(the controlling device) or the slave (the controlled device) is
made by
MIDI Clock (GLOBAL 1–1a).
Note: When MIDI Clock is set to Auto, the NAUTILUS will
normally operate in the same way as for the Internal setting.
When an external MIDI clock is received from the MIDI IN
connector, the NAUTILUS will automatically operate as for
the External MIDI setting.
Using the NAUTILUS as master and the external
MIDI device as slave
Connect the NAUTILUS’s MIDI OUT connector to the
MIDI IN connector of the external MIDI device.
• When you set MIDI Clock to Internal, the NAUTILUS
will be the master device, and will transmit MIDI timing
clock messages.
Arpeggiator function: The tempo can be controlled
from the NAUTILUS. At the same time, the performance
generated by Arpeggiator will be transmitted via MIDI.
(In COMBINATION, and SEQUENCER modes, data
will be transmitted by timbres/MIDI tracks whose
Status
is Both, EXT, or EX2.) An external tone generator
connected to MIDI OUT will sound, and the tempo of an
external sequencer can be controlled.
Sequencer: The musical data can be played back and
controlled on the NAUTILUS.
Simultaneously, the sequencer playback will be
transmitted via MIDI from MIDI tracks whose
Status is
Both, EXT, or EX2. An external tone generator
connected to MIDI OUT will sound, and the tempo of an
external sequencer can be controlled.
Using the external MIDI device as master and the
NAUTILUS as slave
Connect the NAUTILUS’s MIDI IN connector to the MIDI
OUT connector of the external MIDI device.
• When you set MIDI Clock to External MIDI, the
NAUTILUS will be the slave device.
Arpeggiator: The tempo will follow the MIDI clock. If
you play the external sequencer, the Arpeggiator will
synchronize to the external clock.
Even if
MIDI Clock is External MIDI and the
NAUTILUS is being controlled from the external device,
the performance of Arpeggiator will still be transmitted
via MIDI. (In COMBINATION and SEQUENCER
modes, Arpeggiator will be transmitted from
timbres/MIDI tracks whose
Status is Both, EXT, or
EX2.)
Sequencer: It will not be possible to control the playback
from the NAUTILUS; instead, playback will be
controlled by the external device. If you wish to play the
external sequencer in sync with the NAUTILUS’s
sequencer, you must first set the same time signature and
starting measure locations on both devices.
Even if
MIDI Clock is set to External MIDI and the
NAUTILUS is being controlled from an external device,
musical data will be transmitted by tracks whose
Status
is Both, EXT, or EX2.
Recording MIDI from an external
sequencer
You can record the MIDI output of an external sequencer
into the NAUTILUS using either synchronized or un-
synchronized MIDI clocks. Each method has its benefits and
caveats, as described below.
In either case, you will need to set up the NAUTILUS
sequencer for multitrack recording.For more information,
see “Multi (multitrack recording)” on page 79 of the OG.
Synchronized clocks
Generally, the best method is to synchronize the NAUTILUS
to the external sequencer. To do this:
1. Set the Global MIDI Clock to External MIDI.
This lets the external sequencer control both the tempo and
the point at which recording starts.
2. Set the NAUTILUS time signature to match that of
the external sequencer.
3. Start recording on the NAUTILUS.
4. Start the external sequencer.
With MIDI Clock set to External MIDI, the NAUTILUS
will start recording automatically as soon as the external
sequencer starts playback.
Since the two devices are synchronized during the recording
process, measure divisions etc. will be preserved accurately.
Synchronization is also critical if you need to record in
multiple passes, as opposed to all tracks at once.
The one drawback of this method is that any changes to
tempo or time signature will not be recorded. If any of these
are used, you will have to re-create them within the
NAUTILUS sequencer after recording.
