ROLAND CR68 DRUM MACHINE(s10H
Your CR68 drum machine is now equipped to receive MIDI information.
When turned on, the machine will function normally, receiving MIDI note
& velocity information on the channel set in memory. The factory
default settings are as follows : receive chan 16, omni off, stop/start
messages enabled, continue ignored, normal clock ratio, no triplet.
MIDI timing and stop start information is not channel sensitive and
is received at all times (unless disabled).
YOU CAN RETURN TO THE FACTORY MIDI SETTINGS BY SWITCHING THE MACHINE
ON WHILST HOLDING THE RED BUTTON PRESSED (hold for a couple of seconds)
With the rear panel clock switch set to normal (up) the CR68 drum will
run from its own internal clock. With the rear panel clock switch in
the down position however, it will run from MIDI sync at the rate set
by the MIDI device connected. (MUST RECEIVE A MIDI START)
MIDI start/stop messages can be ignored. Go into set-up mode and select
with the appropriate MIDI note as described in the next paragraph.
1) SET-UP MODE - setting MIDI channel/clock speed/stop-start etc.
Give the red push button a short press (half a second) - then release.
Follow this with a MIDI note (a key on a DX7 D50 etc.) or sequence of
notes, as detailed on page 2. Note that after selecting a channel
or other function, top C will need to be pressed to return the unit to
playing mode. (N.B. set-ups are stored in non volatile memory).
2) MAPPING MODE - assigning MIDI notes to sounds
Press the red button hold for about six seconds - then release.
Follow this (on the remote keyboard) with a program change number, then
any MIDI note. The drum sound specified by that program change number
will be mapped to the key you pressed.You may keep assigning drum sounds
to keys in the same fashion (program then key). When you have assigned
all the sounds that you want to, press any invalid program change number
(15 and above), you will then be automatically returned to normal play
mode. On page 3 is a list of which program numbers correspond to what
drum sounds.
N.B. The red button can be "pressed via MIDI - see last page.
