MIDI Modes Mode 0 Transmits and receives no channel messages, only System Exclusive and System Real-time messages. Mode 1 Transmits on selected channel only. Receives all messages on any channel. Mode 3A Transmits messages exactly like Mode I. Receives same messages as Mode 1, except on base channel only. Mode 3B Transmits/receives left map in selected left MIDI channel. Transmits/receives right map in selected right MIDI channel. All modulation is recognized in left channel only. Right channel ignores MIDI modulation. However, modulation affects all voices (just like wheels). Preset number selections recognized in left channel only. Mode 4 All transmission is disabled. Receives only note events. Channel number is equal to number of sound to be played. Mode 1. (Voice Expansion) Transmits same type of messages as Mode I. In expansion mode, no note messages are transmitted until all eight internal voices become occupied. Then, instead of internally "stealing" voices, needed notes are "requested" over MIDI OUT. Local modulation is transmitted as usual. Receives any channel. Unless modulation receive option is disabled, any received modulations are always re-transmitted (echoed). Mode 3.A Transmits exactly like Mode I Expansion. Receives base channel, similarly to Mode 3. Any MIDI received outside of base channel is not re-transmitted. CM2OOOC 13-Il Mode 3.B Similar to Mode 3B. Notes expanding left map appear in left channel. Notes expanding right map appear in right channel. Local modulation is transmitted as usual. Unless modulation receive option is disabled, only modulations received in base channel are re-transmitted. Notes received in left channel play only left map of current preset. Notes received in right channel play only right map. All modulation is recognized in left channel only. Right channel ignores MIDI modulation. However, modulation affects all voices (just like wheels). Preset number selections are recognized in left channel only. Mode 4. Similar to Mode 4, with channelized expansion. Only MIDI IN can be expanded upon. Receives only note events. Channel number is equal to number of sample to be played. Wheels are disabled. Channel Sets left or right channels from I - 16. 1. Select MIDI CHANNEL. 2. Use PARAMETER VALUE knob or INC/DEC to select desired base channel number. 3. To select side being adjusted, press EXECUTE. Display Meaning -1 through -16 Base or left MIDI channel. +1 through +16 Right MIDI channel. (Mode 3B only.) Options Transmit/Receive To toggle transmit and receive options on or off, use EXECUTE.

Receive 5 MOD wheel receive. 6 PITCH wheel receive. 7 Preset number receive. 8 Pressure receive (as MOD wheel). Dumps When following dump options are selected, pressing EXECUTE will send data described out MIDI: Note: For increased speed, and error correction, use two cables when dumping samples. All sample dumps are recorded to slave's current SOUND NUMBER and RATE. After rate conversion, it may be necessary to retune sample (using TUNE SAMPLE). dl Dump sound (sample plus parameters and maps). d2 Dump map analog scalings. d3 Dump preset (keyboard mode, map selections, performance). While dumping, a "d" is displayed. While receiving, an "r" is displayed. Baud Rate To change baud rate, select "bA". To switch to high-speed mode, press EXECUTE, which will light "+" sign: bA Standard baud rate. +bA Double speed. C M2OOOC 13-12 Arpeggiator Clock Out Switching arpeggiator on transmits a Start message. ARPEGGIATOR RATE controls speed. MIDI clocks are sent at a rate corresponding to 96th notes, or six clocks per sixteenth note. Switching arpeggiator off transmits a Stop message. If MIDI Clock In is enabled, MIDI System Real-Time input is echoed. Arpeggiator Clock In To select external MIDI clock input, select ARPEGGIATOR RATE and set to "Mi". Notes are played as sixteenths. If a MIDI Stop message is received, this turns off notes but leaves arpeggiator on so it can be restarted. C M2OOOC 13-13
