MIDI CONTROL Page PAGE NOTE: Accompaniment pattern sounds cannot be controlled via MIDI. 123 Internal/External Control 1 LEAD Determines Internal or External control of the Lead Voices. When set to Internal, Lead Voices are played from the Electone and the sounds from a connected MIDI instrument can be played via MIDI channel 1 (or channel 2, when the To Lower function is on). When set to External, the Lead Voices can only be played from the connected instrument via MIDI channel 4. 2 SYNC. Determines the source of the timing control, for rhythm synchronization purposes. Setting this to Internal gives the Electone timing control over the connected rhythm machine. This also allows you to start and stop the rhythms of the connected rhythm machine from the Electone's panel controls. Setting this to External gives timing control to the connected rhythm machine. 3 EXP. Determines the control of the expression pedal functions. Ordinarily, this control is set to Auto. However, when it is set to INT., you can manually control the expression pedal functions during M.D.R. playback. When set to EXT., another (external) Electone controls over the expression pedal functions. 12 NOTE: This control has no relation to MIDI. L.I.T. (Lead Initial Touch) Control At the right side of the MIDI page, there is the L.I.T. control. L.I.T. 1: When descending notes are played in legato with the monophonic lead voices, the last note played has the same initial touch response as the previous note. L.I.T. 2: Default setting. When descending notes are played in legato with the monophonic lead voices, the last note played sounds according to the velocity at which it is played. MIDI 156
