Global Settings
The global menu is where you’ll nd settings that apply to the synthesizer
as a whole — in other words, settings that apply to the overall behavior of
the synth. These include such things as master tuning, keyboard velocity
curves, MIDI settings, Pitch and Mod wheel calibration, and more.
To use the global menu:
1. Press the global button.
2. Use Soft Knob 1 to scroll through the list of parameters.
3. To set a selected parameter, turn Soft Knob 3 or press Soft Key 1, as
needed.
Here are descriptions of all of the global menu parameters.
1. Master Coarse: -12…+12—Master Transpose control; a setting of
0 is the equivalent of concert pitch. This control steps in semitones one
octave up (+12) or down (-12).
2. Master Fine: -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.
