Global Parameters 
Tetra’s Global parameters affect all programs globally. Examples include MIDI 
channel and fine tune. To edit the Global parameters, hold down the Mode 
switch (Program/Combo/Global) until the G
LOBAL LED lights. The SELECT 
knob changes the global parameter and the increment and decrement buttons 
change the value. 
Transpose: -12…+12 — Master Transpose control, 0 is centered. Steps in 
semitones. 
Fine Tune: -50…+50 — Master Fine Tune control; 0 centered. Steps in cents (50 
cents = 1/2 semitone). 
MIDI Channel: ALL, 1…16 — Selects which MIDI channel to send and receive 
data, 1 to 16. All receives on all 16 channels. 
Clock: see table — Selects the MIDI clock status.

MIDI Parameter Send: NRPN, CC, Off — Changes to the values of Tetra’s front 
panel controls are transmitted via MIDI as Non-registered Parameter Number 
(NRPN) controllers or as Continuous Controllers (CC). Transmission of 
parameters can also be turned off. See MIDI Implementation on page 45 for 
details. 
Note: NRPNs are the preferred method of parameter transmission, since 
they cover the complete range of all parameters, while CCs only handle 
the main parameters. 
MIDI Parameter Receive: All, NRPN, CC, Off — Sets the method by which Tetra 
receives parameter changes via MIDI. As with transmission, NRPNs are the 
preferred method, though some controllers may only be able to send CCs. 
MIDI Control: Off, On — When On, the synth will respond to MIDI controllers, 
including Pitch Wheel, Mod Wheel, Pedal, Breath, Volume, and Expression.
