˙ MIDI Sub Menu First, use the MAIN MENU buttons to select the MIDI menu, and select the desired Sub Menu parameter with the SUB MENU buttons. Then, use the numeric keypad or +/- buttons to change the setting. Parameter Name Display Name Range Remote Channel RemoteCh off, 01 - 16 Keyboard Out KeybdOut off, 01 - 16 Accompaniment Out AcompOut on/off Receive Channel Select Receive Switch RcvChSel Rcv SW 01-16 on/off Local Control Local on/off External Clock ExtClock on/off Description This determines how the PortaTone is controlled by a "remote" (external) MIDI keyboard. Set this to one of the 16 channels (01 - 16) for using an external keyboard to remotely control the PortaTone functions over the selected channel. (The remaining 15 channels can be used for multi-timbral operation.) When this is set to "off," the PortaTone can be used as a full 16-channel multi-timbral sound source. The default setting is "off." This determines over which channel keyboard data for the Main Voice is transmitted. The default setting is channel 01. This determines whether Auto Accompaniment data is transmitted via MIDI OUT or not. When set to "on," Auto Accompaniment data is transmitted over channels 3 - 10. The default setting is "off." This determines over which channel MIDI data is received. The default setting is channel 01 . This determines whether MIDI data is received over the selected MIDI channel or not, set in Receive Channel Select above. (This parameter works in tandem with Receive Channel Select.) This determines whether the keyboard is "connected" to the internal Voices of the PortaTone. When set to "on," the Voices respond to notes played from the keyboard. When set to "off," the Voices respond only to incoming MIDI data (via MIDI IN). The default setting is "on." If you are routing the MIDI OUT on the PortaTone to a sequencer and back to the MIDI IN, you may want to set this to "off" to avoid MIDI "feedback." This determines whether the Style and Song playback functions are controlled by the PortaTone's internal clock (off) or by MIDI clock data from an external sequencer or computer (on). This should be set to "on" when you want to have Style or Song playback follow the external device. The default setting is "off." NOTE • Whenever using a MIDI device to control the PortaTone, make sure that the Receive Switch is set to "on" for the appropriate channel or channels. • For the Keyboard Out parameter, performance data of the Main Voice can be sent over the specified MIDI channel, but the other Voices are fixed as follows: Dual Voice - channel 11 Split Voice - channel 2 Auto Accompaniment - channels 3 - 10 • To reset any parameter to its default setting, press the +/- buttons simultaneously. • All settings in the MIDI Sub Menu are retained in memory when the power is turned off, as long as batteries are installed or an AC adaptor is connected. • In the Song or Easy Chord Memory mode, MIDI data cannot be transmitted or received, and none of the MIDI menu settings have any effect. 40
