This produces vibrant, realistic sounds quite unlike anything you would expect from a budget-friendly arranger keyboard. The EXR-7’s tone generator is 64-voice polyphonic. 21 new sounds have been processed and edited to provide an even more authentic response.

EXR-7_GBEF.book Page 43 Monday, April 19, 2004 3:36 PM EXR-7 What are tracks? ¿Qué son pistas? Que sont les pistes? The term “track” is used only for your convenience. We borrowed it from tape recorders that allow for recording several musical parts by the same person (one part after the other). In the case of the EXR-7, the term is only used to indicate that we are dealing with separate musical parts. Here indeed (like with computer-based sequencers) what really counts are the MIDI channels.

After completing a song, you should save it (see p. 132). To keep you from accidentally erasing the song in the EXR-7’s internal memory, the EXR-7 automatically selects Single after your first recording. Bear in mind that selecting “ALL” or “Keyboard” will erase the song in the USERSONG memory.

Meaning of the asterisk USERPROG At some stage, you may come across an asterisk next to the User Program number. It means that the last User Program you selected is still in effect but that the current settings no longer correspond to the ones in that memory.

EXR-7_GBEF.book Page 114 Monday, April 19, 2004 3:36 PM r EXR-7 13. Funciones MIDI 13. MIDI functions MIDI is short for “Musical Instrument Digital Interface”. The word refers to many things, the most obvious being a connector type that is used by musical instruments and other devices to exchange messages relating to the act of making music. Each time you play on the EXR-7’s keyboard or start the Arranger (or Song), your instrument transmits MIDI data to its MIDI OUT socket.
PAGE 115
EXR-7_GBEF.book Page 115 Monday, April 19, 2004 3:36 PM EXR-7 Note: All EXR-7 parts are set to receive MIDI messages. If they do not seem to respond to the messages you send from the external controller, you should check whether the external controller’s MIDI OUT socket is connected to the MIDI INput of your EXR-7. Nota: Todas las partes del EXR-7 están ajustadas para recibir mensajes MIDI.
PAGE 116
EXR-7_GBEF.book Page 116 Monday, April 19, 2004 3:36 PM r EXR-7 When set to “ON” (default), playing on the EXR-7’s keyboard or playing back a Recorder song will cause the corresponding notes to sound. If you select “OFF”, the corresponding MIDI messages are no longer sent to the internal tone generator – but they are still transmitted to the MIDI OUT port and hence to external MIDI instruments.
PAGE 117
EXR-7_GBEF.book Page 117 Monday, April 19, 2004 3:36 PM EXR-7 Off In this case, the EXR-7 is not synchronized with other MIDI devices. It is thus impossible to start/stop it via MIDI. Off En este caso, el EXR-7 no se sincroniza con otros dispositivos MIDI. Por lo tanto, será imposible ponerlo en marcha y pararlo mediante MIDI. Off Dans ce cas, l’EXR-7 n’est pas synchronisé avec d’autres appareils MIDI. Il est donc impossible de le faire démarrer/de l’arrêter via MIDI.
PAGE 118
EXR-7_GBEF.book Page 118 Monday, April 19, 2004 3:36 PM r EXR-7 NTA notes can only be received (they are not transmitted). The notes you play on the EXR-7’s keyboard are indeed transmitted to the Arranger, from there to the Arranger parts, and used to play the accompaniment in the right key. Since all Music Style notes are transmitted via MIDI, there is no need to send the NTA notes separately. Las notas NTA sólo se pueden recibir (no se transmiten).

EXR-7_GBEF.book Page 119 Monday, April 19, 2004 3:36 PM EXR-7 ■ StartStp° (Start/Stop/Continue) (On/Off, Default setting: On) This option allows you to specify whether or not the Arranger and Recorder send Start/Stop/ Continue messages when you start or stop them. Select “Off” when you wish to control the tone generator of a MIDI organ, etc., without starting or stopping its automatic accompaniment.

They allow you to save newly recorded songs and Styles loaded from a floppy disk to the EXR-7’s Flash memory, and to remove such files. Saving songs to a Flash memory Songs you record or edit with the EXR-7’s Recorder (or that you modify using the Cover functions) can be saved to its Flash memory or floppy disk.

It allows you to transfer a set of 100 User Programs (i.e. for all memories) to the EXR-7’s internal memory. This will overwrite the User Programs that currently reside in the internal memories. Note: If you wish to use the User Programs in the internal memory at a later stage, first save them to disk before proceeding. See p. 132.

Though you could save the file with the current default name (“SONG_001”, or “USPR_000”), a proper name will help you identify the file at all times. We therefore suggest you take the time to specify a meaningful name. Note: If you select “SPACE” ([0] button), the display will insert a “_”. That’s because MS-DOS® does not allow you to use spaces.

If the floppy you are about to use is IBM PC formatted, there is no need to format it, though disk access is faster with disks formatted on the EXR-7. Otherwise proceed as follows: (1) Insert a disk into the drive. Every floppy contains a square tab that allows you to “close” a little window.
