MIDI

FUNCTIONS

With

the

SPX90

it

is

possible

to

select

specific

pro-

grams

via

external

MIDI

control.

For

example,

you

can

set

the

SPX90

so

that

when

you

select

a

specific

voice

on

your

MIDI

synthesizer,

the

most

appropriate

effect

program

for

that

voice

is

selected

automatically.

In

this

case,

the

SPX90

is

detecting

the

MIDI

Program

Change

signal.

For

the

following

programs

only,

the

SPX90

also

detects

the

MIDI

Note

ON/OFF

signals:

*

GATE

programs

(GATE

ON/OFF).

*

PITCH

programs

(set

pitch).

*

FREEZE

programs

(begin

playback).

For

MIDI

program

change

operation,

it

is

possible

to

program

four

independent

sets

of

program

change/memory

number

combinations.

These

are

referred

to

as

"banks"

in

the

SPX90.

For

example,

you

could

program

the

four

banks

with

different

combi-

nations

as

shown

in

the

chart

below.

selection

and

setting

of

the

number

on

which

MIDI

change

data

for

that

BANK

will

be

received.

The

third

function

accessed

by

the

UTILITY

key

—MIDI

PGM

—makes

it

possible

to

set

the

SPX

memory

number

which

will

be

called

when

a

specific

MIDI

program

change

number

is

received.
