Descriptions of Parameters
The Global Menu
5-25
Transmit Clock
This parameter determines whether the PC1 sends its internal MIDI clock signal to its MIDI Out
port. This parameter is irrelevant if the Clock parameter has a value of
External
. There are three
possible values. They are:
Off
The PC1 doesn’t transmit its internal clock signal.
On
The PC1 always transmits its internal clock signal to its MIDI Out port.
Seq
Default value. The PC1 transmits its internal clock signal to its MIDI Out
port only when you’re playing one of the demo sequences or using the
arpeggiator.
Touch
Sets the keyboard sensitivity for the entire PC1, somewhat like the Vel Scale parameter for
individual programs and setups (like Vel Scale, the value for the Touch parameter also affects
notes that get sent via MIDI).
A value of
Linear
(the default) is the standard, unaltered level of keyboard sensitivity. Values of
Light1
-
Light3
are for players who have a light touch--that is, you can play more lightly and still
get the same attack-velocity values.
Light1
is more sensitive than
Linear
, and
Light3
is the most
sensitive.
Values of
Hard1
-
Hard3
are for players who have a heavier touch--that is, you can play harder
and still get the same attack-velocity values.
Hard1
is less sensitive than Linear, and
Hard3
is the
least sensitive.
Setup Change Channel (Setup Chg Chan)
Enables the PC1 to change
setups
when it receives a
program-change message
from an external
MIDI source. This is useful when the PC1 is controlled by another instrument or a sequencer. The
possible values are
None
(the default, which disables this feature), and
1
-
16
.
Set the value of this parameter to match the channel on which you want to send program-change
messages from the external source. Make sure that none of your external MIDI sources uses that
channel for any other purpose; if the PC1 receives a program-change message on that channel
from
any
MIDI source, it will change setups, which may not be what you want.
When you’ve set this parameter’s value to a specific MIDI channel, bank-select messages with
values of 0-3 received on that channel select setup banks 1-4.
MIDI In
Determines how the PC1 handles MIDI information received at its MIDI In port. There are four
possible values:
Normal
The PC1 leaves the MIDI information unaltered. If the Thru/Out switch on the rear panel is set to
Thru, the PC1 passes the MIDI information to the MIDI Thru port.
