MIDI TX Channel (MIDI Transmit Channel)
fig.08-050d
1–16, Rx
This sets the MIDI Transmit channel used
for transmitting MIDI messages.
When set to “Rx,” this MIDI channel is same as the MIDI Receive
channel.
* This is set to “Rx” when shipped from the factory.
MIDI Device ID
fig.08-060d
1–32
This sets the Device ID used for transmitting
and receiving Exclusive messages.
* This is set to “1” when shipped from the factory.
MIDI Sync Clock
fig.08-070d
Auto, Internal
You can synchronize the performance of a
sequencer or other external MIDI device.
Auto
When the MIDI Clock of the external MIDI device is not being re-
ceived, the performance is synchronized to the tempo set in MAS-
TER BPM; when the external MIDI device’s MIDI Clock is being
received, the performance is synchronized to that.
Internal
The performance is synchronized to the tempo set in MASTER BPM.
* This is set to “Auto” when shipped from the factory.
* When you have an external MIDI device connected, the Master BPM is
then synchronized to the external MIDI device’s tempo, thus disabling
the Master BPM setting. To enable setting of the Master BPM, set to
“Internal.”
* When synchronizing performances to the MIDI Clock signal from an
external MIDI device, timing problems in the performance may occur
due to errors in the MIDI Clock.
MIDI PC OUT (MIDI Program Change Out)
fig.08-080d
Off, On
This setting determines whether or not Pro-
gram Change messages are output when
patches are switched on the GT-8.
Off
Program Change messages are not output, even when patches are
switched.
On
Program Change messages are simultaneously output when patches
are switched.
