Global Settings
Press the global button and use the parameter and value knobs to scroll
through and set parameters such as Master Tune and MIDI Channel that
affect all programs globally.
1. Master Coarse Tune: -12…+12—Master Transpose control, 0 is
centered. Steps in semitones up to one octave up (+12) or down (-12).
2. Master Fine Tune: -50…+50—Master Fine Tune control; 0 centered.
Steps in cents as much as a quarter-tone up (+50) or down (-50).
3. MIDI Channel: All, 1…16—Selects which MIDI channel to send and
receive data, 1 to 16. Choosing all receives on all 16 channels.
4. MIDI Clock Mode: Sets the synthesizer’s ability to send and receive
MIDI clock messages:
• Off: MIDI Clock is neither sent nor received
• Master: MIDI Clock is sent, but not received.
• Slave: MIDI Clock is received, but not sent.
• Slave Thru: MIDI Clock is received and passed to MIDI Out
• Slave No S/S (no start and stop): Receives MIDI Clock but does not
respond to MIDI Start or Stop command.
In Slave and Slave Thru modes, if no MIDI clock is present at the selected
input, the arpeggiator and sequencer will not function.
5. MIDI Clock Cable: MIDI Port, USB—Sets the port, MIDI or USB, by
which MIDI clocks are received.
6. MIDI Param Send: Off, CC, NRPN—Changes to the values of front
panel controls are transmitted via MIDI as Non-registered Parameter
Number (NRPN) controllers or as Continuous Controllers (CC). Trans-
mission of parameters can also be turned off. See MIDI Implementation
on page 79 for details.
NRPNs are the preferred method of parameter transmission, since they cover
the complete range of all parameters, while CCs are limited to a range of 128.
