You can specify the MIDI channels for the drum track
and bass program.
Refer to steps 1 – 3 of “Basic procedure” to bring up the
indication “MIDI DRUM CH” or “MIDI BASS CH” on
the display. Then turn the dial to select one of the
following settings.
•1 – 16CH
Select one of MIDI channels 1 – 16 (default: DRUM
CH=10CH, BASS CH=9CH)
• OFF
Channel messages (Note On/Off, Control Change etc.)
for the drum kit or bass program will not be sent.
If you specify a MIDI channel (1 – 16), hitting a pad of
the MRS-8 or playing back a rhythm pattern or rhythm
song will cause the drum/bass track playing information
to be transmitted as Note On/Off messages in the selected
channel.
HINT
By selecting the same channel for the drum kit and bass
program, the playing information can be sent together on a
single channel via the MIDI OUT connector.
This setting specifies whether the MIDI synchronization
message Timing Clock will be transmitted.
Refer to steps 1 – 3 of “Basic procedure” to bring up the
indication “MIDI CLOCK” on the display. Then press the
[ENTER] key and turn the dial to select one of the
following settings.
• ON (Transmission on)
Timing Clock information will be transmitted when the
MRS-8 is running (default setting).
• OFF (Transmission off)
Timing Clock information will not be transmitted.
The Timing Clock information is derived by dividing a
quarter note by 24. When Timing Clock is on, the clock
signal will calculated based on the tempo of the rhythm
pattern/rhythm song that is playing.
In order for the external MIDI device to play back in
synchronization at an appropriate tempo, you will need to
specify the tempo of the rhythm pattern/rhythm song at
the MRS-8. To synchronize the measure indication at the
MRS-8 and the MIDI device, the time signature setting at
both devices must be matched.
NOTE
Timing Clock information will be transmitted even if the
drum/bass track is muted.
HINT
• When using MIDI Timing Clock messages transmitted from
the MRS-8 to synchronize the transport locate operation at
the external MIDI device, you should also turn on transmission
for Song Position Pointer and Start/Stop/Continue messages
in addition to Timing Clock.
• If you transmit Timing Clock together with Note On/Off or
MTC information from the MRS-8, synchronization may
become unstable. When transmitting Timing Clock,
transmission of these messages should be turned off.
