MIDI reception settings
Indication Parameter Explanation Values
AUTO
CHANNEL
Determines how MIDI messages will be received from ex-
ternal MIDI devices.
* At the factory settings this is set to “OFF.”
* Set this “OFF” if you want note messages of the channel
specified as the Arpeggio Control Channel or RPS Control
Channel to control arpeggios or RPS from an external
device.
OFF:
The patches of each part can be
played independently according
to the channel of the MIDI data
transmitted from an external
MIDI device.
ON:
The patch of the part selected on
the D2 can be played, regardless
of the transmit channel of the ex-
ternal MIDI device.
ARPEGGIO
CTRL CH
(arpeggio
control chan-
nel)
Specifies the channel on which note messages from an exter-
nal MIDI device will control arpeggios when Auto Channel
is “OFF.” When note messages of the specified channel are
received from an external MIDI device, an arpeggio can be
generated according to that note data, and will sound the
current part. At the factory settings this is set to “16.”
* This setting is ignored if Auto Channel is “ON.”
OFF, 1–16
RPS CTRL
CH
(RPS control
channel)
Specifies the channel on which note messages from an exter-
nal MIDI device will control RPS when Auto CHANNEL is
“OFF.” RPS can be played by receiving note messages on the
specified channel. At the factory settings this is set to “15.”
* This setting is ignored if Auto Channel is “ON.”
OFF, 1–16
RX SYSEX
(receive sys-
tem exclu-
sive)
Determines whether the D2 will receive system exclusive
messages. When this setting is “OFF,” system exclusive
messages will not be received.
OFF, ON
SOFT THRU If this is “ON,” MIDI messages received at the MIDI IN con-
nector will be re-transmitted without change from the MIDI
OUT connector.
OFF, ON
DEVICE ID
(device ID
number)
This setting is necessary only if data is being transmitted
separately to two or more D2 units. Otherwise, you should
not change this setting. At the factory settings, the device ID
number is set to “17.”
* If you forget the device ID that was used when bulk data
was saved on an external device, it will no longer be possible
to receive the saved bulk data.
17–32
RX BULK
(bulk receive)
Data that was saved on an external device can be sent back
to the D2.
For details refer to p. 81.
OFF:
Data will not be received.
PTN:
Data of the current pattern will
be received.
ALL:
All data will be received.
